Camping sleeping bags

Temperatures

A sleeping bag shows several temperatures, measured according to a European standard. The comfort temperature is the one at which a chilly person sleeps well; the limit temperature is where one can sleep curled up without getting cold; the extreme temperature only indicates a survival threshold. You choose your bag based on the comfort temperature, allowing for a margin compared to the coldest nights expected.

Camping on site

Camping also includes:

• Tents.
• Cooking.
• Furniture.
• Lighting.

All the equipment is gathered on the camping page.

Mummy or blanket

The mummy shape, like those from Nordisk or Regatta Hilo, hugs the body and tightens around the head with a hood: it keeps heat better and takes up less space. The blanket shape, rectangular and more spacious, suits summer camping and can open completely. Sleeping bags with a left or right opening, like Pajak Core, can be joined to form a double bag.

Down or synthetic

The down, like that in Pajak bags made in Poland, offers the best warmth for its weight and compresses into a small bag, ideal for hiking. It does not do well with moisture. The synthetic filling, more affordable, retains warmth even when damp and dries quickly. An insulating sleeping mat is just as important as the bag: the cold mainly comes from the ground. One should store their bag uncompressed, in the air, so that the filling retains its loft.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24 hours are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key dates of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

What sleeing bag for camping in winter?

You choose a mummy bag whose comfort temperature is below the expected nighttime temperature, often negative. A well-insulated mat from the ground is just as important as the bag itself.

What sleeing bag for a child?

A bag in their size, not too long or too wide, heats up faster than an adult bag. Some child models can stretch with growth thanks to a foldable part at the bottom.

Can you zip two sleeping bags together?

Yes, two rectangular bags with compatible zippers, one zipped on the left and the other on the right, can be joined into one double bag. Two-person bags offer the same original solution.

How to wash a down sleeping bag?

In a large drum washing machine, on a delicate cycle at thirty degrees, with a special down detergent. Drying in a tumble dryer on low heat, with two tennis balls, restores loft.

Do you need a sleeping bag liner?

The sleeping bag liner, made of cotton or silk, keeps the bag clean for longer and adds a few degrees of warmth. It works on its own in a shelter or during a warm night.
