OEX Fathom EV 300 Sleeping Bag

Product Information

If you are packing the sleeping bag inside your rucksack, you will need to consider what other items you are also carrying, so should look for a small sleeping bag where possible. I use an Exped UL 3/4 length, which only weighs 200gm, and is very comfortable, even for a side sleeper. These sleeping bags also tend to be lighter than square shape sleeping bags as they use less material overall. If you are strapping it to the outside of your rucksack, you may not be as concerned about the size.

Square sleepings bags (which are really rectangular) are what most people think of and probably remember when thinking about sleeping bags. The downside with synthetic sleeping bags is that they don’t pack down as small as down sleeping bags and they also tend to be heavier as well. Season ratings are listed from 1-4, with 1 being summer/warm weather and 4 being winter/very cold conditions.Choosing the right sleeping bag can make all the difference to how well you sleep and enjoy your next wild camping trip.

It is also the case that they are better in damp conditions as, even when wet, they still retain some of theith insulating abilities. I have one, and it's certainly good for 3 seasons (380 gm of 800 fill power goose down); it weighs about 725 gm, and packs down not much larger than a large tin (when it came through the post it was so small that I didn't recognise what it was! Deciding what weight will be ideal for you will depend very much on the weight of the rest of your gear and how much weight you believe you can comfortably carry. For context, my tent is a NatureHike Star River 2 and I'm very happy with it - so happy to go for Chinese products like that. The benefit of this sort of shape is that they can be easily pulled tight around the head and shoulders area, reducing the amount of air escaping from the sleeping bag during the night and providing a warmer nights sleep.I decided to find the best sleeping bags for wild camping and couldn’t believe the number of factors that I needed to consider and the options available to me. But it's down, and with no water-repellant down treatment, so you really need to keep it dry, and be really careful that it doesn't get damp in wet weather. I personally can’t stand waking up feeling cold at night and will happily spend a bit more money on a warmer sleeping bag to ensure I have a good night’s sleep. When wild camping, an important factor to consider when choosing a sleeping bag is the weight, as you will likely be carrying this with a lot of other wild camping gear.
