Which sleeping bag is right for me?
You need to consider are the bag’s weight, warmth, bulk and cost.
At Llani Leisure we stock the popular synthetic fibre sleeping bags and have access to a wide range of down filled bags. This is an option if you want excellent warmth and compression ability for expedition use and the like.
Synthetic bags are made from various fibres that effect their bulk and warmth, generally the warmer and less bulky a sleeping bag is, the more expensive it will be.
We have sleeping bags in both rectangular and mummy style.
-
Rectangular sleeping bags allow greater freedom of movement but due to being more spacious inside take more energy to heat up so tend to be cooler than mummy bags.
-
Mummy bags are shaped to the body and have a hood for your head. This usually makes them warmer than rectangular bags.
Sleeping bags are season rated to UK Temperatures
A One Season bag is a summer bag.
A Two Season bag can be used from late spring to early autumn.
A Three Season bag is suitable from early spring to late autumn (just below freezing).
A Four Season bag is a winter sleeping bag.
A Four Season Plus/Five Season bag is for specialist / expedition usage.
Please note - it is important to insulate your bag from the ground. A liner will add an extra season’s rating to your sleeping bag and help keep it clean.(Liners are easier to wash!)
