An essential piece of equipment for a tourist, when a certain duration of the upcoming trip is taken into account, is a sleeping bag. Only a high-quality sleeping bag can help in the process of replenishing lost energy and provide comfort during sleep.

The best choice for a camping “bedroom”

Fresh air and exotic natural power - things, of course, useful. But it is worth noting that a person, first of all, is a living organism that can simply get sick from hypothermia. Therefore, a sleeping bag on a hike is an indispensable equipment for a tourist, which should not only be a warm and dry “refuge for sleep”, but also be light, compact and easy to transport. A few simple tips will help you make the right choice.

So, what should you pay attention to first of all?

• 

  Sleeping bag made of synthetic material based on nylon and coated with a membrane impregnation is the best option for lovers of hiking.

• The most common insulation is synthetic winterizer - a practical, inexpensive material that fully meets acceptable thermal insulationproperties.
• The size of the sleeping bag should correspond to the height and build of the person for whom it is purchased, since too large a bag will contribute to excessive air circulation and loss of the ability to retain heat, and a small size will constrain the person, as a result of which the quality of rest will significantly reduce its beneficial action.
• Sometimes, if more than one sleeping bag is purchased, it is advisable to purchase a sleeping bag that can be combined with an element of a camping bedding of a similar type and modification into one. In this case, it is required to take into account the identity of the size and the correspondence of the right-handed and left-handed snakes.

For those who appreciate the naturalness of the product

Down sleeping bags are vastly superior to synthetic counterparts, given the natural ability of down to retain heat. Of course, the natural filler of the sleeping bag will cost the buyer a tidy sum, but the superiority of such bags over artificial options is obvious and does not need a detailed explanation. However, it is worth noting one important point not in favor of the naturalness of the product. The fact is that fluff absorbs moisture very quickly, and the drying process takes quite a long time, otherwise rotting cannot be avoided. It goes without saying that the weight of a down-filled product is much higher than the weight of an artificial "competitor". Therefore, today, down is mainly the choice of professionals, conquerors of mountain peaks and naturalists of extreme survival conditions.

In closing

The best sleeping bag for amateur tourism is, of course, a sleeping bag with padding insulation. Affordable price, quite inspiring performance of the product and a variety of model range make it possible to consider sleeping bags based on artificial materials the most popular among consumers. Technology does not stand still, and in the near future, a more worthy substitute for fluff will definitely replace the synthetic winterizer. Today, your preferences and beliefs can express your own point of view on the question of which filler is more acceptable to you. So the choice is yours!
