Best Sleeping Bag Deals of 2016

Camping is becoming ever more popular in the UK, so to help you sleep well outdoors we thought we would share some of the best sleeping bag deals of 2016. With so many beautiful locations to explore in the UK, spending our holidays in the great British outdoors is a fantastic way to escape and relax, and staying warm and comfortable for a good night’s sleep is incredibly important.

Choosing a sleeping Bag

When you’re chooisign a sleeping bag, there a few important things to consider:

  • Weight: will you be carrying the bag in a backpack, or are you driving to the campsite and using it as a “base”
  • Fabric: Are yo ulikely to use the bag in damp or wet conditions, and if so is the fabric water/moisture replant?
  • Fill: Down or synthetic? Down can become very heavy and loose its warmth if it gets wet, although there are some modern techniques that can make water resistant down. Synthetic can do better in damp conditions but can also be a littel heavier than down
  • Shape: Check the bag is large enough if you’re tall, but also not too big to efficiently keep you warm
  • Left or right zip: if you’re camping with a loved one, you may want to zip two bags together, and this is often possible with a left and right zip combo
