Attention! If you want to learn all about sleeping bags, click here: SLEEPING BAGS

A sleeping bag is a "suitcase" for a person to sleep in essence a cover can be closed, with a zipper or similar, and it works like a bed in the situations in which it is impossible to transport a bed. Its main objective is to heat insulation. It also protects a certain extent, against the wind, precipitation, and the exhibition in the view, but tries to exercise this function better. The page also provides some cushioning, but a sleeping pad is usually the used for this purpose. A bag with a bivouac (bivy) is a dense cover for a sleeping bag, which can be used instead of a tent for travellers or slightly as a backup if bad weather occurs.
A sleeping bag base is simply a square slab, with a zipper on one or both sides, it can be folded, and two, in this position. A sleeping bag of this type is compressed folded in two or third parties, in rolls, with the ropes or belts. The basic design works well for most, but not sufficient, the campsite under the circumstances demanding. The second major type sleeping bag, sometimes as a mummy bag on the basis of their
form has improved in a number of important ways. It falls from head to toe purpose, the reduction in the quantities and the surface, and the improvement of all its properties for heat insulation. Some bags are specifically for the inclusion of women from the body.
It is usually not completely decompress on foot. The zipper is a weak point in sleeping bags insulating properties. The conical shape This feature enables the protection of the feet that are particularly vulnerable to the loss of heat, the other parts of the body. There is usually a head, ultimately, to help prevent the outflow of hot air.
A mummy bag can often not be rolled like a rectangular bag. Instead, it is quite easy in plush in a bag or pocket for storing compression ..

Fill
A sleeping bag very compact measuring 23 cm / 9 and a diameter of 12 cm / 5, but when they packed in 210 cm x 65 cm/6.9 pi pi dépliée x 2.1.
Many different insulating materials are for the sleeping bags. Outdoor experts consider it as a rule either synthetically close, as Prima Loft, or down, and they have agreed on the merits of these materials for years.

Synthetic Do not let water, dries easily and provides the heat, even if some are thoroughly durchnäßt. These features can save lives, which by its owner, if, for example, the sleeping bag is accidentally fell into the cold water in a day. Synthetic material is so tight and elastic, so that it is well insulated under the weight of a person. The synthetic also have the ability to loft faster than down, so the sleeping bag, to the isolation faster than a fluff. On the back of synthetic fill can compress that down to making those bags take up more space, if they are not used. Moreover isolated synthetic tendency to fall faster than their counterparts of physics.
Down divide weighs less than synthesis and holds the heat better, but generally the cost. Down must be dry and a sleeping bag dipped decline can not isolated as a sleeping bag for all, led to the hypothermia.
Modern, technologically advanced sleeping bags are often resistant to water and mussels can in the
absorbers. It is also recommended that a sleeping bag in a large bag (bags memory), compared to the small
travel bag (bags compression), whereas long storage. But many walkers and hikers regularly agree that hanging a sleeping bag, with the position of the suitcase on the handlebars at intervals so as not to a "dead spot" (A place where the dam was squelched, that he no longer useful) , is the best method for the storage of a bag for long maturities.
Other materials, especially cotton and wool, were also sleeping bags. Wool is water repellent and keeps very good compression, but it weighs much more than any other option. Cotton suffers from a severe water retention and weight important, but its low cost, in fact, an interesting option for functions like the judgement of the campsite where these disadvantages are low.

Temperature ratings
A person in a sleeping bag

In Europe, the standard EN 13537 normalizes the temperature at which a sleeping bag can be used. A test, based on a dummy heated, offers four temperatures:
The upper limit is the maximum temperature at which a 'standard' adult male is in a position to a good sleep, without excessive sweating. The comfort of opinion will be based on a "standard" adult woman, a good sleep.
The lower limit is the lowest temperature at which a 'standard' adult male should be able to make a good sleep.
The opinion is an extreme view that the continued existence of a "standard" adult woman. It is an extreme opinions only survive, and it is not advisable to focus on this assessment for general use. The zone of transition between the comfort and the lowest temperature, is generally considered the best buy policy.

Indoor sleeping bags

Indoor sleeping bags, sleeping bags, that sometimes, are largely in place, often in particular for use by the children. These are generally not as dense, and often are natural substances produced, instead of the commonly used synthetic fabrics and outside the sleeping bags. Children's sleeping bags especially common characteristic development, bright-colored drawings, prints, as images of the popular media figures. Slumber sleeping bags convenient word and are often used to sleepovers, family visits, and other situations where

there is not enough beds for the entire world.
