As a first time camper, I wanted a sleeping bag that was comfortable and warm and I found it. The material inside kept me warm all night… the temperature dropped to below 42 degrees. It was cold! I knew the next day that I would have to drive into town and purchase a blanket to put over top of me. After speaking with other campers in my group I realized I had the best sleeping bag. I would suggest bringing a warm blanket for the ride, as no sleeping bag can keep you that warm in 42 degree weather.

The Coleman 8041-741 Rimstone 30-degree Sleeping Bag is a comfortable three-season rectangular sleeping bag. At 33-inches by 75-inches, the full-size Rimstone fits most body types up to five-feet 11-inches long. With four pounds of Hollofil-808 insulation, this mild-temperature sleeping bag keeps you warm in temperatures down to 30-degrees Fahrenheit. Features include a polyester cover and cotton flannel liner that are machine washable, an exterior pocket, and the ability to zip two like-bags together when sleeping with another.

Usually rated to withstand temperatures as low as freezing, these bags will protect you from cold nights while still being able to enjoy the beauty of changing colors and falling leaves in Autumn or the fresh tranquility of watching  blossoms dot the tree limbs in Spring. 3 season sleeping bags can help you enjoy all of nature’s comforts, comfortably!

Summer Camping

Now you have to decide the type of 3 season sleeping bag to get buy. You thought they were all the same? Oh no, you have some definite choices to make. Firstly, if you wish to get even more bang for your buck try a synthetic 3 season sleeping bag instead of a goose down sleeping bag, they also dry out quickly if they get wet and are far less expensive than traditional bags.  Not all things about synthetic sleeping bags are great though. There are many factors that make choosing them a tough call.

A synthetic 3 season sleeping bag, although less costly to you, is more costly to the environment. The name gives away the fact that they are not, in fact, natural. Commonly a PrimaLoft filler is used. There is also the fact that a synthetic 3 season sleeping bag tends to weigh more and take up more space. Their design prevents compatibility and they also tend to keep you less warm than a traditional bag, most only covering down to around 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

A good down sleeping bag is the most common pick for people who are not planning on water related activities with their 3 season sleeping bag. The extra cost is made up for in their easy storage and comfortability. Many down camping sleeping bags can insulate down to around 15 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Being a more popular choice, they are also found in more colors and a wider assortment of sizes, from children sizes up to your hefty plus size campers. The choice of which 3 season sleeping bag to buy seems to boil down to what you are most comfortable with and the type of camping experience you are expecting.
