Exped Wallcreeper PL Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic


Product Details

As the name implies, the versatile water-resistant Exped Wallcreeper PL Sleeping Bag Parka Blanket is a sleeping bag of many uses. Sleep through soggy spring bivouacs or wait out drizzling conditions on an alpine wall; water-resistant PrimaLoft Sport gives this versatile bag insulation for climbing in cold, wet environments. The lightweight, seamless ripstop shell packs down for minimal bulk in your pack. Zippered arm openings allow you to belay, boil water, or rack gear from the comfort of the bag. A drawcord-adjustable foot section allows the Wallcreeper PL to function as a sleeping bag when you have boots on. Tighten the bottom drawcord around your waist and the bag can be worn as a camp parka. A full-length center zipper allows easy entry and exit and lets the bag open into a blanket. Insulated pockets on the exterior of the bag give your fingers refuge during frigid belays. The parka-style hood uses elastic drawcords to create a tight seal that traps in warm air and keeps out cold, damp weather.

Price : $ 278.35

Lightweight Sleeping Bags Checklist

Sure It's Warm Enough? Lightweight bags are meant for use in weather between 30-50 degrees. But, remember, it's always prudent to add on at least 10 degrees to the bags rating. Thus, a bag rated to 40 degrees might only keep you warm in 50 degree weather.
Down or Synthetic? Each have their advantages. Down is less bulky and weighs a few ounces less. Synthetic costs less (usually) and is easier to dry - you can just toss it in the dryer.
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A sleeping bag is useless without a sleeping pad. So, if you don't already have a sleeping pad, get one. For lightweight sleeping bags (thus used in warm weather), you don't need a super thick or winter-style one.
Ideal Uses for a Lightweight Bag. Where you know...for sure...that the temperature will stay at least 10-15 degrees above the sleeping bags rating. And, where every ounce and cubic inch of space is at a premium. Lightweight bags are often used by climbers and bike campers/travelers. For backpacking in the mountains, a lightweight bag is NOT recommended!
