Mummy Sleeping Bags

Video Transcript

"Here's a mummy bag. This is probably the most common backpacking bag. It's thermally efficient, often they're light. You can get all different weights in this so of course the more you pay the lighter it will be, but this one you'll notice is tapered at the foot so there is not a lot of space to heat up before the bag starts doing it's job. A zipper runs along the length of it. You've got venting options from the bottom. Some people if they get hot they'll stick their feet out the bottom there. At the other end of the bag you have a hood. The hood is nice because it's basically weather stripping. Imagine yourself all bundled up on a cold morning your head just peering out of here, nothing but your face. On the inside this one even has a draft collar. It's kind of like a little, a little collar that just goes around your neck and keeps that heat in. Again you're going to have to, while you're in here go 'am I too hot?', 'and I too cold?'. Your body will let you know and you'll vent accordingly or bundle up. If you have any questions give your local outfitter a holler."
