Winter sleeping bags

A winter sleeping bag is designed for truly cold nights, where the margin against the cold determines whether you sleep soundly or lie awake shivering. Compared to a summer or three-season bag, it features more insulation – often including a draft collar and extra filling around the hood – and a generally tighter fit to retain heat where it is needed most.

For Scandinavian winter conditions, it is wise to choose a bag with a generous safety margin rather than one that operates at the limit of its temperature rating. In this category, you will find winter sleeping bags with various thermal ratings and designs; consider where and in what temperatures you plan to sleep, and it will be easier to find the right model for your winter adventures.
