The Coleman Hampton double looks interesting, @undomesticgodde55 - I wasn't sure it would be warm enough. I had convinced myself that I needed at least a four and probably a five season sleeping bag because I used to have a four season one which wasn't warm enough! But I guess not all sleeping bags are created equal. This sleeping bag comes in both 15 degree and 30-degree options. Even though it’s designed to handle near in below-freezing temps, the Disco also features unique Thermo gills that allow you to control your body temperature better and let out warm air without letting in a cold draft. Synthetic insulation is the most common type of insulation used in sleeping bags. A synthetic sleeping bag will be cheaper, easier to clean and require less care than a down sleeping bag. They also perform better when wet than down bags, retaining around 50% of their insulating ability when wet. Extra Long Length Sleeping Bags are even larger measuring 230 x 105x 70cm, such as our Microlite Square XL Winter Sleeping Bag. Double Sleeping Bags Many bags are designed for smaller people and will not zip entirely around broad shoulders, which is detrimental to heat retention.

Sleeping bags differ in many ways; their size, shape, comfort rating, season rating and different types of insulation. There are 3 different shapes of sleeping bag: Square, Mummy and Sleeping Pod. Square Sleeping Bags A mummy sleeping bag , such as the Microlite 1400, tapers towards the feet and is therefore more fitted than a regular rectangular bag improving heat retention. The hood of a mummy sleeping bag also helps keep in the warmth. A mummy sleeping bag also weighs less than a rectangular bag. Fit Design: extended length shoulder straps and hip belts, fit revisions to accommodate larger body shapes and sizes The shape of your sleeping bag should reflect the style of camping you’re planning on doing. There are three basic shapes of bags: Mummy, Rectangular, and Semi-Rectangular. We’ll break it down to help you decide which shape best fits your style.Wanting to keep the weight down and keep the warmth in is not an easy feat. Which is why I’m impressed with this sleeping bag as it manages to achieve both of these fairly well. With it being able to go between 20 to 40 degrees which will be useful for a number of weather conditions. However, not ideal in super cold conditions. Rather Lightweight The Nemo Disco Series is our top recommendation. In many ways its an ideal bag for bigger guys: long, roomy, lightweight and super-cosy. Being a a sleeping bag means it really needs to be able to handle the colder weathers in my opinion. The manufactures specifications have designed this sleeping bag to be able to handle between 0 – 10 °F. So it achieves handling the colder weather quite well in my opinion.

Down sleeping bags are the pinnacle of warmth to weight, delivering impressive warmth in a lightweight, low bulk design. Considered the best for winter expeditions where warmth and weight are the most important factors, they are sure to keep you cosy when temperatures drop. However, down sleeping bags do need a lot of care. When wet, the down feathers lose their loft and insulating properties, so it's best to be careful and treat them with care. Plus, down is more expensive than synthetic. The Big Agnes Echo Park sleeping bag is a fantastic option for big and tall people and for people who move around a lot in their sleep. This extra wide king-size sleeping bag is sure to keep you both warm and comfortable and freezing temperatures, even when they dip below zero. Best Budget Option: Coleman Big Basin

Season Sleeping Bag - Suitable for -5 to +8 degrees celcius. Ideal for camping, fishing & festivals So much ‘yes’ to this!!! I’m tall and a very hippy and booty-full 24 (or 26 depending on the brand) so Columbia doesn’t work for me. I’ve only had success with Columbia and REI pants before going up a size (thanks hormones). Hoping to drop a size or three to make that gear work for me again. Lands End is my go-to for tops. Their fleeces fit SO well, tailored to having boobs and a belly but not looking frumpy. I haven’t tried their pants yet but plan to if I drop down to fit their largest size.
