But knowing what characterizes a good sleeping bag and what differentiates different sleeping bags is not always the easiest thing to do. Therefore, we have created a small guide for what is important to keep in mind when choosing a sleeping bag. What are you going to use the sleeping bag for? The first thing you should think about when you buy a sleeping bag is what you should have it for, are you going out hiking or train lounging, should you have your sleeping bag indoors or outdoors? What you also need to keep in mind when buying a sleeping bag is the sleeping bag's weight, packing volume and its heat. Weight, packing volume and size of your sleeping bag Depending on what you are going to use your sleeping bag for, packing volume and weight are something you need to think about. If you are going out hiking or traveling, you may want a sleeping bag that weighs a little and has a small packing volume. If, on the other hand, you want to go camping and use the bag at the football camp, this may not be as important. Some manufacturers offer sleeping bags in different sizes (lying lengths). The length of the sleeping bag in a sleeping bag is normally 20-30 cm shorter than the total length of the sleeping bag. The size of the sleeping bag is important for your sleeping comfort. You should be able to move your arms and shoulders inside the bag. Nowadays, there are also good sleeping bags for children. It is easier for children to heat a smaller bag, while the children's sleeping bags take up less space in the pack. Temperature limits Most sleeping bags on the market are tested and graded according to a new standard (EN13537). Temperature sensitivity between women and men has been taken into account. Other factors that affect your sleeping comfort are, for example, what type of clothes you sleep in, how much you ate before you go to bed, or what kind of sleeping pad you have. The different temperatures are divided as follows: Comfort - Corresponds to the lower temperature a normal woman can sleep in, without freezing. Limit - Corresponds to the lower temperature a normal person can sleep in, without freezing. Extreme - Corresponds to the lower temperature limit where a normal woman risks her health. Try to sleep in as little clothing as possible. The body heat should warm up the sleeping bag. (Compare with hot water, with which you preheat a thermos, before pouring into your coffee…) You should not wear more than underwear or underwear. If you are frozen, you can put on a warm hat and warm socks in the sleeping bag. To give your sleeping bag better warmth, you can buy a cover for the sack. It is not possible to give an exact figure how much the cover improves the temperature, but you can count on about 5 degrees better extreme value. Synthetic or down filling Most sleeping bags are filled with synthetic fiber, which today has almost as good insulating ability as down. Down still has the best insulating ability in relation to its weight, but is slightly more expensive. The synthetic sleeping bag is significantly more resistant to moisture and can be washed more often than a down sleeping bag. Hur skall du sköta din sovsäck När du använder din sovsäck, avger kroppen fukt. Oavsett om det är kallt eller varmt. Innan du packar ihop din sovsäck, bör du vädra ur den en stund. Då försvinner en del av fukten och sovsäcken är redo att användas igen. Detta är extra viktigt om du har en dunsovsäck. Dunet är känsligt mot fukt och kan mögla om det inte torkar ordentligt. För att öka livslängd, värme och komfort i din sovsäck, kan du köpa till ett sovsäckslakan. Detta skyddar mot smuts och fukt. Tvätt En ren sovsäck, värmer mer än en smutsig. Däremot kanske du inte tvättar din sovsäck så ofta ändå. En sovsäck med syntetfyllning är lättare att tvätta än en dunsovsäck. Följ tvättråden som finns i säcken. Förvaring Förvara din sovsäck mörkt och torrt. En dunsovsäck mår bäst av att ligga i en stor tygsäck, eller hänga på galge. Syntetsovsäcken bör förvaras luftigt, men det funkar även att förvara den i sin packpåse. Viktigt med ett bra liggunderlag Oavsett hur bra sovsäck du har, är ett bra liggunderlag avgörande för din sovkomfort. Det finns två olika typer av liggunderlag. Cellplast och uppblåsbara. De uppblåsbara är mer bekväma att sova på, men är något tyngre i vikt, än de som är tillverkade i cellplast. © Team Sportia 2014 Tweeta Produkter för ditt äventyr: Sortera efter HAGLÖFS MOONLITE +7 799: FAUNA VILA 1700 1099: WALKABOUT ISEO 3 999: FAUNA DVALA 1400 599: PRIMUS SUMMER GAS PIERCIABLE 190G 29: THERMOS STÅLTERMOS 0,5 L BORSTAD 329: WALKABOUT DOLOMIT 3 1099: WALKABOUT GARDA 3 699: PRIMUS POWER GAS 230G 59: FAUNA WALKABOUT CAMP 50 549: WALKABOUT HIKER 10 129: UTFORSKA WEBBPLATSEN OM TEAM SPORTIA Kontakta oss Bikepartner Work with us Press room Our responsibility THE SPORTS CLUB Divide your purchase Club & company Partners Teamsportiaonline FOLLOW US ON Facebook Youtube TEAM SPORTIA NEWSLETTER SEND Team Sportia © 2011-2015 Privacy and cookies
