Details
Its the age old question: Do you take a warm, comfy sleeping bag thats heavy and doesnt compress very well or a lightweight bag that isnt quite warm enough? Weighing only 3lb 2oz and featuring eight inches of loft, the Lynx MF Sleeping Bag solves the problem. Western Mountaineering stuffed this winter sleeping bag with ultralight, ultra compressible 850-fill down, which keeps you warm down to -10F. A full-length draft tube and overstuffed draft collar help seal in heat for even more warmth. The microfiber shell not only contributes to the Lynx MFs light weight, it resists wind and moisture and breathes well, preserving the downs loft.

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. |
