Details
For extreme winter conditions, take your Exped Arctic Goose WB Down Sleeping Bag with you. The Arctic Goose WB features 750-fill down to hold in your body heat and Expeds patented welded baffle construction so this sleeping bags shell is waterproof. Welded construction means Exped didnt stitch baffles but instead glued them so the fabric has no tiny stitch holes where moisture can sneak in. A storm flap prevents moisture from getting in through the full-length zipper, and a huge hood and oversized draft collar conserves warmth. An inner pocket gives you a spot to tuck your headlamp. The Arctic Goose is rated to negative 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

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. |
