Details
When all the three-season wieners store their camp gear for the winter, bust out the Western Mountaineering Puma Gore WS Sleeping Bag and head into the mountains. From overnight ski tours to remote alpine climbs, the Puma beats back the cold thanks to its highly weather-resistant Gore WindStopper shell and 35 ounces of light, lofty, 850-fill goose down. Interlocking Draft Tubes and an insulated hood and collar seal out the chill, and V-Block side baffles keep the down from shifting. And thanks to Western Mountaineering using only the finest down available, this toasty sleep sack packs down small and weighs less than four pounds.

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. |
