Here you have an extraordinary collection with best winter sleeping bags for camping for extreme temperatures below -20F (-29 C) degrees. Keep reading.
When you inspect the list, you will realize that all the sleeping bags for winter camping presented here can be categorized in two major groups:
- Backpack portable winter camping sleeping bags.
- Extreme temperature sleeping bags for car camping and basecamps in general.
So this is about weight and also a bit about the packed size. There is a big difference between the two groups. This is related to the insulation material used in their construction, and also partly to their shape. So you have:
- Down winter sleeping bags for camping and expeditions. This is a treated down which is supposed to perform well even if it gets wet.
- Synthetic winter sleeping bags for camping, this type is in the group of car camping and basecamp winter bags. Synthetic insulation is heavier but it preserves its insulating properties even when wet.
The fill (insulation) dramatically affects the price. You will realize this when you compare the bags from the two groups. The difference in price can be by a factor 6 or 7. The corresponding difference in weight can be by a factor 3 or so.
But the price and weight are also affected by the shell material and some other features. Those backpack portable sleeping bags are built from advanced thin yet durable materials and there is also lots of technology in their baffles structures and in some other features.
You will notice also that some of the bags here are Amazon Prime items so you can have them shipped for free. With such sleeping bags, you will need an appropriate tent for extreme cold, so please check our list with tents ready for wood-burning tent stoves.
