How to choose an outdoor sleeping bag?

Regular participation in outdoor activities is a good way to exercise the body and cultivate one's character. Because we will find that many people in urban life are busy working and have no time to breathe, so their mental and physical conditions may become worse and worse. You can do some outdoor activities appropriately, and you should also understand the issue of choosing outdoor sleeping bags.

1. Temperature scale

The temperature index is the most important indicator of a sleeping bag. The general temperature scale consists of three data:

Minimum temperature: It means that your life will not be in danger at such a low temperature. Usually, you should pay special attention to this indicator when doing outdoor activities in areas with lower temperatures. However, the minimum temperature cannot guarantee that you can sleep well.

Comfort low temperature: refers to the ideal temperature for the most comfortable use of this sleeping bag. This is the indicator that allows you to fall asleep comfortably.

Maximum temperature: refers to the upper limit of the temperature range of use. Above this temperature, the user will feel unbearably hot. There are two ways to mark the comfortable low temperature on a sleeping bag. One is to mark an absolute temperature, such as 10 degrees, indicating that the comfortable low temperature of the sleeping bag is 10 degrees. The other is to indicate the temperature range, transitioning from red to green or blue. For example, red starts at 5 degrees, transitions to light green at 0 degrees, and transitions to dark green at -5 degrees. The meaning of this temperature is: 5 degrees is warm, 0 degrees is suitable, and -5 degrees feels very cold. The comfortable low temperature of this sleeping bag is 0 degrees. Other things to consider are the warmth retention of the tent, personal physique, and environmental factors. Usually the temperature scale of sleeping bags is calculated according to men, so if girls use it, the temperature scale of sleeping bags is generally 5 degrees higher than that of men.

2. Material

Good sleeping bags are mostly made of waterproof and breathable materials. This is because in some extremely cold places, when you get up in the early morning, small water droplets condensed from the heat in the tent will often splash onto the sleeping bag. Therefore, the outer material of the sleeping bag must have a certain degree of waterproofness to ensure the dryness of the sleeping bag. Ordinary cotton sleeping bags are made of polyester or nylon materials, and polyester and nylon fabrics have different density and texture. When you have questions about what kind of sleeping bag to buy, you must consider its material.

Outdoor sleeping bags are something that friends who go camping for outdoor sports need to prepare. We hope that through the above selection methods and the issues that need to be understood, everyone can choose the sleeping bag that suits them best to keep out the cold and keep warm and reduce some adverse effects.
