In The Bag: Best All-Weather Sleeping Bags

Finding a great sleeping bag is like securing the perfect hiking boot before hitting the road—picking one equipped to handle the elements is paramount. Yet with varying weather conditions come myriad of decisions: will my sleeping bag function for both cold and warm weather? Is the sleeping bag sturdy? How durable will the sleeping bag be?

Because fretting things like, say, lurking bears is more important than the color, price, size, etc., of your sleeping bag, we’ve rounded up a list of great sleeping bags sure to help you cross off your list of concerns.

Feathered Friends’ 0 Degree sleeping bag covers all your bases seasonal needs with a versatile design that’s ideal for camping year round (tundra-like conditions withstanding!).

This sleeping bag is chocked-full of outdoor-friendly features like a compression sack for easy transport and a glow-in-the-dark zipper, which we sort of love.

If it’s a light, ultra-durable option you’re after, look no further than Sierra Designs.
