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 ColdIt'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 temperatu
