Guide
Camping down sleeping bags
For camping, match the sleeping bag to the night temperature and mat.
Key points
- The mat insulates underneath; the sleeping bag alone is not enough.
- Comfort and lower-limit ratings guide different assumptions about the sleeper.
- Transport down dry and dry it thoroughly before storage.

What to look for
| Question | In brief | Why |
|---|---|---|
| How cold overnight? | In briefComfort range with a margin | WhyThe lowest printed figure is not a comfort recommendation. Allow for your cold sensitivity and suitable sleeping clothes. |
| How long and wide? | In briefBody height and sleep position | WhyAvoid compressing fill at feet and shoulders. An unnecessarily oversized bag is not an advantage either. |
| How damp is the site? | In briefPlan a dry sleeping place | WhyTreatments do not replace a weatherproof tent and dry transport. Down loses insulating performance when thoroughly wet. |
Common questions
Is a warm bag enough without a suitable mat?
No. The ground can draw away substantial warmth. Match mat insulation to ground conditions and season rather than simply choosing a warmer bag.
Why do model name and comfort rating differ?
A model name may refer to another temperature figure. Read the full ratings for the exact version and length.
How should I pack it in the morning?
Air and dry it first where possible. If it must travel damp, spread it out again at the next opportunity.
How do I store it after the trip?
Completely dry, loose and according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Prolonged heavy compression is unsuitable for long-term storage.
