CHOOSING A SLEEPING BAG - MUMMY OR REGULAR?

Choosing a sleeping bag is never an easy and straightforward matter. One of the criteria for selection is, of course, the shape. Which sleeping bag - mummy or quilt - will work better in your case? It depends on what you need it for!

IS A REGULAR SLEEPING BAG OUTDATED?

A quilt-style sleeping bag, also known as an envelope, is a traditional solution. You could call it the progenitor of the sleeping bag family - with a long and noble history. Contrary to appearances, it has not yet disappeared into the twilight of time!

Regular rectangular sleeping bags have a shape that resembles a classic quilt when unzipped and spread flat. Typically, these are more spacious sleeping bags that allow you to turn freely from side to side. They work well for trailer travel, staying in camping cabins, or excursions in warm weather, especially with children, where parents can all huddle under one cover. And since they can easily be converted into a quilt, they are also great for home use - when guests come over, they can serve as a spare bedding set.

It's worth knowing that thanks to brands, traditional sleeping bags without the characteristic hood of a mummy bag are no longer heavy and bulky accessories unsuitable for backpacking.This makes them popular among lightweight travel enthusiasts who take them on hikes to mountain huts, mountain biking trips, or hammock camping. Moreover, each model holds surprises that enhance its functionality. However, it's important to remember that due to the lack of a hood to protect the head, which is one of the best safeguards against heat loss, regular sleeping bags are recommended for warmer nights.

TAKE A MUMMY BAG TO THE FIELD!

A mummy-style sleeping bag is undoubtedly an outdoor must-have. Its tapered shape and hood that covers the head, resembling a resting pharaoh in an Egyptian sarcophagus, allow for preserving as much energy as possible. That's why the mummy bag is suitable not only for sleeping within the comfort of four walls but also in the great outdoors.These additional features include 3D draft tubes, an additional collar, hood adjustment, and in the most advanced models, a special internal IRR material that reflects up to 50% of body heat.

One of the most versatile mummy sleeping bag models, the CORE 400, weighs roughly the same as half a water bottle. Not much, right? You can practically take it with you into the field all year round. By protecting you from chilling temperatures of up to -24 degrees and allowing for a truly restful sleep when the thermometer drops below 0, it certainly deserves the title of the best companion for tent and hammock wanderers.
