Details
Tunnel deep into the 800-fill-power down GoLite Venture 0 Sleeping Bag, and forget about the frozen maelstrom whirling outside your tent. At 32 degrees below freezing, sleeping becomes an adventure as daring as the peak ascent youre waiting to attempt. GoLite makes your basecamp life a little easier by stuffing the Venture 0 Sleeping Bag with the lightest, most thermally efficient goosedown insulation available, and tailoring the mummy shape to maximize heat retention. Waterproof Pertex zones at the head and foot ensure mornings will be free of frozen toes or lost loft, while the full side zip mates with the womens Venture in case your other half is crazy enough to come along.

Winter Sleeping Bags Checklist
 |
Insulation Type? For winter
camping, nothing is better than high-quality goose down. It's warmer
and less bulky. Yes, synthetic bags are ok (and less expensive),
but for wintner camping...goose down rules. |
|
Temperature Rating? Get
a bag rated to -40 degrees. Remember, just because a bag is rated
to -40, doesn't mean it will keep you warm at that temperature. Always
be safe and "add 10 to 20" degrees onto the temperature rating of
a sleeping bag. |
|
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A
winter sleeping bag is useless without a thick sleeping
pad. So,
if you don't already have a sleeping pad designed for winter, be
sure to get one. Remember, sleeping pads are designed for BOTH warmth
and comfort! |
|
Don't Jerry-Rig a Three Season Bag
for Winter Use. It's not really possible to "jerry rig"
a three season bag to make it suitable for winter use. Many good
three-season bags keep you warmer when you sleep without clothing.
About the best you can do to "winterize" a three-season bag is
to insert a sleeping bag liner. But it's still a sorry substitute
for a quality four-season bag. |
