Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:

Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.

Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.

Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.

All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.

Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.

Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

 "Excellent lightweight bag" 2010-05-19
By Armyguy71 (Denton, TX USA)
I was in the Army for 12 years. We had a new sleeping bag system that came out a few years before I got out. It was a 5 part system and really quite comfortable and adaptable for different seasons/temps. I always regretted not buying one before I got out. This sleeping bag took care of that. It is made of the same ripstop material, it is lightweight and comfortable. My first time to put it to use was a spring night in Okla in April. The day was decently warm (70's) but unbeknownst to me we had a cold front come in that night. It dipped into the low 40s that night. The wind woke me up a few times but not once was I cold or uncomfortable. The next morning I heard from my friends in the other tent about how cold they had gotten that night. Definitely a good bag.. recommend getting an inflatable or sleeping pad to add more cushion between you and the ground but no worries about being too cold. It also fully encloses around your face so no need to worry about bugs or snakes trying to get in and snuggle with you!


 "Best bang for the bucks!" 2010-04-28
By Tivan P. Bounma (Portland, OR USA)
I bought this sleeping bag after a month of research. I ended up buying this one because of the 15 degree rating. I used it at Oxbow, Oregon while fishing at the dam. The temperature at night was in the low 30s and I kept waking up a bit hot. Like some of the others had said, you'll find yourself waking up in the middle of the night to unzip it a bit to cool off. I really like this sleeping bag because for the temperature rating and the price of a mummy style sleeping bag you just can't beat it. Oh yeah. the color IS dark blue and charcoal which is nicer looking than the picture. Just check the pictures on other website(this is the old model picture).

Don't think too hard. Buy it!


 "Comfortable but not compact" 2010-04-25
By S. Christian
We needed a compact sleeping bag that could fit inside a carry-on bag for air travel. This one is not quite small enough, though we were able to make it work. At it's smallest, it is about the size of a basketball, though oval. It definitely does not squish smaller than the 10 x 14". It is also difficult to squeeze back into the bag because there are no strings or straps and the slick material fights you. I recommend long shoelaces, because there is not room for the buckle on a compression strap.

The bag is comfortable, roomy enough through the hips and feet for a tall teen, pretty much as described. As others noted, the color has changed to a nice blue with charcoal.

This will be a nice bag for vacations. I would not recommend it for backpacking, and air travel is iffy if you are trying not to check bags. However, we could not find a smaller one for the price, especially with a 15 degree rating. Overall this is a good bag for the price.


 "Very Warm and Comfortable" 2009-12-30
By Michael G. Sovich
It is blue, not the green/black color pictured. It is lighter than the specs say and that is a good thing. Seems very warm and comfortable. As good a value as I could find in a three season sleeping bag.


 "Good all-purpose scout bag for price" 2009-11-11
By dave h (The Arizona desert)
Like others have said, the current Crescent 15 Degree F bag being sold is a medium-dark blue and charcoal color, not lime green and charcoal as pictured. The blue panels are diamond-rip stop polyester taffeta, and the charcoal parts do not appear to be rip-stop. It's filled with 2 lbs 14 oz of "Coletherm" hollow core poly fill insulation. The net pack weight (the bag in the stuff sack) is just over 4 lbs. I bought two, and one weighed 4 lb 0.5 oz and the other 4 lb 1.8 oz on a postal scale. The stuff sack weights 2.5 oz, so the sleeping bag alone weighs just under 4 lbs, which is a good rule-of-thumb maximum limit for a sleeping bag to take backpacking.

It easily can keep you comfortable down to the 15 degree F rating. This bag is very compressible for it's loft. The size in the included stuff sack is 10" diameter and 14" long, which most people will find to be an odd size for backpacking. However, it will fit (stuffed) into 1100-1200 cubic inch backpack compartments. It easily fits in an 9" x 24" compression sack (not included) and squeezes down to approx. 9" x 17" pack size if you want to attach it outside your pack.

For the price/weight, this bag is a great buy for both general camping and light-to-medium backpacking for 3-season use by Boy Scouts. Although it is true you can get goose-down bags for the same temperature range that are about 1 lb lighter and more compressible for hard-core backpacking, I'm generally opposed to down bags for Boy Scouts for several reasons: a. down is outrageously expensive, especially given the likelihood of some rough treatment and short lifespan, b. a down bag is useless if it gets wet, and c. they require special cleaning or special soap for home washing.

My only complaints are that the shell isn't 100% rip-stop material, and the included stuff sack is an odd size, but at a price around 40 bucks, both can be forgiven.
