Synthetic

Synthetic sleeping bags may be easier for you to use and often also cheaper. The synthetic sleeping bags can be washed on a standard washing program and dries quickly. The latter is also useful when you spend the night in a humid climate, the synthetic fabrics generally dry faster than down. A disadvantage of a synthetic sleeping bag is the degree of insulation. A synthetic sleeping bag insulates through hollow spaces in the fibers of the fabric, because the part you lie on is pressed flat, this part of the sleeping bag will never insulate optimally. An insulating sleeping mat is therefore important with a synthetic sleeping bag. The brands we carry are Fjallraven, Deuter and Lowland .
