How do you clean a military "mummy" sleeping bag?
I have a mummy bag that smells and the tag is wore off.
Does it need to be dry cleaned or can I just throw it in washer?
Thanks

You can machine wash it, but I would air-dry it. The shell is nylon, if I remember correctly, so I wouldn't put it into the dryer. Dry cleaning wouldn't be bad, just a little pricy, IMO.

is it true that some sleeping pads are designed to actually fit into the mummy bagg?
Is it true that some sleeping pads are designed to actually fit into the mummy bag? I believe that i saw one before.... and if its true i want one

Some have a sleeve on the outside as well. My -20F bag from EMS has an outside sleeve intended to hold the pad. I think it's useless.

Personally, I think the design sucks for people who do not sleep on their back. If you roll inside the bag, then your face is inside the hood and the moisture from your breath is trapped inside. A mummy bag should roll with you so your face is always out of the bag. It's kinda pointless to put a sleeping pad inside the sleeping bag if it isn't under you.

Before Buying A Sleeping Bag

In the mountains, on treking, traveling or at sea, sleeping bag has a strong impact on the final feeling of the event. Sleeping bags are very diverse and the lying is not always the same lying, it is necessary prior to the purchase to consider the use of anticipation.

Before buying
Think about this before purchasing:

- Temperature levels (comfort). "Comfort" value must meet the minimum night temperature in which we intend to sleep (you can add some security degree). If we are a more "frozen" type, then the preferred value for a few degrees lower than expected

- Convenience. If the bag does not feel comfortable even when we test it, is certainly not the kind we want to have when in nature.

- Loading - DOWN or synthetic. Sleeping bags are filled with woolliness easier (in the same weight as more warm). It also pressed more and more permanent. Synthetic bags also heated wet, dry faster and more easily cleaned. In the same temperature levels cost less than filled with down.

- A form of sleeping bags is essential. Bags in the form of isolated Mummy are the best and therefore ideal for cooler conditions and high altitude use, the rectangular shape, however, offer more space to change position, but less isolated

- Weight
- Volume, when compressed
- Personal feelings (like us cold ...)
