Sleeping bags

1. Choose a sleeping bag that is suitable for the conditions in which you will be, pay attention to the temperature range.
   
2. Synthetic fillings perform well in high humidity conditions, while down provides better thermal insulation in dry conditions.
   
3. Light and compact models will be easy to transport and they do not take up much space in a backpack.
   
4. The sleeping bag should match your height.
   
5. Models with a hood and a collar retain heat better.
   
6. Additional features: Look for water-repellent coating, convenient fasteners and ventilation options.

The sleeping bag should be stored in an unfolded state or in a special storage bag so that it does not lose its shape and thermal insulation properties. Do not keep it in the compression bag for a long time to avoid damage to the filler.
