FAQs

What should I consider when buying a sleeping bag?

When buying a camping sleeping bag, check the temperature rating (comfort level for your season) and ensure it suits your conditions. Our synthetic sleeping bags are reliable because they insulate even when damp, dry quickly, and are easier to maintain. Pick the right shape and fit (mummy = warmer, rectangular = roomier), and consider weight/packability if you’ll be carrying it on treks. Features like hoods, draft collars, and water-resistant shells add extra comfort and warmth.

To wash your sleeping bag, use a front-loading machine on a gentle, cold cycle with mild soap (no bleach or fabric softener). Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to keep it fluffy, or air-dry fully in the shade. Always store it loose in a breathable sack, not compressed, to maintain its warmth and comfort.

For small rips, clean the area and cover it with repair tape for a quick, durable fix. For larger tears, stitch the fabric with strong thread and then seal it with tape to stop insulation from leaking. Avoid duct tape—it peels off easily. Carrying a patch kit on trips ensures you’re always prepared. If a professional repair is required, we recommend sending it to us.  

Store your sleeping bag loose in a large breathable sack (never long-term in its stuff sack) to keep the insulation fluffy. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from damp or direct heat. Always make sure it’s clean and fully dry before storage for lasting comfort and warmth.

Sleeping bag temperature ratings, often based on ISO or EN standards, indicate the lowest temperature at which a person can comfortably sleep. These ratings typically include a Comfort Rating (for the average female) and a Lower Limit Rating (for the average male) to provide a standardized guide, but real-world comfort depends on individual factors like metabolism, insulation, gear, and environmental conditions.
