Details
Summer camping in the Utahs northern mountains calls for a cozy sleeping bag such as The North Face Wasatch Bx Sleeping Bag. The North Face stuffed this 40-degree sleeping bag with Heatshield Optimal Technology (HOT) SL, a lightweight, durable synthetic insulation that traps air. Your body heat warms that air to help you stay toasty after sunset when temps drop. Overlapping shingle construction eliminates cold spots, and a hood zipper lets you cover your face against a cold draft or vent when the night is balmier than you expected. Stash your headlamp in the shoulder-level zip pocket, and get comfy.

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! |
