• How will you be using your sleeping bag? Will you be backpacking or hiking? Or do you just need a bag for a family camping trip?
• What time of year will you be camping? Will you be doing summer camping, spring through fall excursions, or rough winter camping?
• Consider your budget. How much do you want to spend? Can you save money by getting a higher quality sleeping bag on discount?
• Where will you be using it? Will you be sleeping in a tent? Out in the open? In a lodge or cabin? What areas will you be using the sleeping bag? Will it be in wet areas, dry deserts, mountains?
• What comfort level do you want? If weight isn’t a consideration, do you prefer a roomier, softer, more comfortable sleeping bag? Are you accustomed to the cold night air or do you chill easily?
• Is the weight and compatibility important?Will you be carrying it for a long distance? Do you have limited space?
• How long do you want it to last? Would you prefer to get a cheaper one and replace it later? Or do you want a higher quality sleeping bag that will last many years?
• Is flexibility important? Do you need one bag to meet all your needs, summer through winter?
• How often do you intend to use it? Is this a once a year camping trip? Or will you be using it very frequently?
• Who will be using the bag? Man, woman, or child? What is their body shape?
• How much extra room do you like? Do you sleep still at night or do you tend to toss and turn a lot?
Be sure you consider all these important aspects before you buy a sleeping bag. Then your new sleeping bag will be just perfect for you and your needs.
