The Marmot Trestles Kids sleeping bag is a mummy bag specifically designed for kids under 5 feet tall. The Trestles construction offers warmth and extra loft on the top of the sleeping bag, and a plush blanket-like feel on the bottom. Since comfort and warmth were a priority when building this sleeping bag, it’s a great bag for kids who really want to be extra cozy, or who may have a hard time being out of their regular bed at night.

 

But this is a solid pick if you’re camping тут  from the car, going on a trip that’s just a couple of days, or staying in a base camp. Therm-a-Rest’s Polar Ranger -20 Sleeping Bag is warm, lightweight, and packed with features. Designed alongside Eric Larsen, the magic of this bag is in the box baffled construction and the PFC-free 800-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down.

 

Some of the best sleeping bags made by Big Agnes include the Big Agnes Lost Dog 15 Sleeping Bag, the Big Agnes Anvil Horn 15 Sleeping Bag, and the Big Agnes Torchlight UL 20 Sleeping Bag. However, keep in mind that the temperature limit can fluctuate depending on regional weather conditions. The sleeping bag also weighs between 2 lbs 6.9 oz and 3 lbs 4 oz, depending on the size, which may not be ideal for ultralight backpackers. However, this sleeping bag may not be warm enough for extreme winter weather, and may be too heavy for ultralight backpacking. One of the best features of the Bishop Pass is its high performing warmth to weight ratio with 650-fill down for lightweight warmth and compressibility. It’s also easy to pack and comes with a stuff sack and mesh storage bag included.

In fact, this is the most versatile type of bag, so if you only intend to buy one sleeping bag, a 3-season bag is the way to go. The greatest risk is that some 3-season bags might feel a bit too warm in high summer, causing you to overheat. A good way to get around this is simply to unzip your bag for greater ventilation or to wear fewer (or lighter) layers at night. Look for a bag with a full-length zipper for maximum adaptability.

 

While the price tag makes it one of the most expensive bags on our list, if you are backpacking a lot, you might want to make that investment. What creates a higher cost is the materials, essentially, because they are going to be a lot more lightweight and durable for the backpacking ones versus the car camping ones. The bag feels much lighter, softer, and plushier than most others on the market. It was cozy even during a cold, windy night with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. The Therm-a-Rest Polar Ranger is a great middle option between the super extreme cold weather bags and the lighter moderate winter sleeping bags.

 

Simply take them out and wash them at the end of each trip to extend the lifespan of your sleeping bag. Each person gets their own zipper and hood, and the bag features the same Pertex shell as the Feathered Friends Snowbunting. It’s a terrific option if you climb with the same partner repeatedly and don’t mind getting close. While hardly cheap, the Neutrino Pro is also significantly less pricey than similar bags.

 

Others keep the insulation dry with a water-repellant finish or fabric. That number measures the volume taken up by the amount of down in your sleeping bag; the more loft your sleeping bag has, the more efficiently it will trap warm air. It will also weigh less and pack down smaller than bags with a lower fill power rated to the same temperature. Synthetic bags are more affordable, and therefore an excellent choice for new campers who are unsure how often they want to sleep outside, or backpackers who are headed to wet environments. Blankets are okay for camping in hot weather, but for cold weather, kids need a sleeping bag. Sleeping bags provide much more insulation than blankets and are specifically designed to help retain kids body heat and keep them warm all night long.

 

However, the spacious design does mean that the bag isn’t as well insulated as others in its price range. The RAB Neutrino Pro is my top pick for any camping trips where sub-zero temperatures aren’t expected. The 900-fill goose down offers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio for a winter sleeping bag. At 2.85 lbs, the Neutrino Pro falls squarely in the middle of the pack for weight, but it feels a lot warmer than competing bags. WARM WHEN WET – Synthetic insulation bags (and, to a lesser degree, bags treated with “dry down”) will hold in warmth better than down when wet and they dry quicker. But it’s important to remember that no backpacking sleeping bag will be comfortable when wet.

 

We took this bag winter camping in the Midwest, where the humidity can go right through your down bag and zap the bones. But our tester found it comfy below freezing temps for multiple nights. We started testing in mid-January and wrapped up the process in mid-April. During that 90-day window, temperatures swung from -20 to a freak 70-degree thaw. Northern Minnesota and northern Arizona had record snow years, which meant wintery wind gusts and white on the ground long after the calendar told us it was officially spring. With the right care, your down jacket and sleeping bag can last for years and years.
