We know that it can be stressful picking out the perfect sleeping bag for your next adventure outdoors. That's why we've gathered all the important information when it comes to extreme cold weather nylon sleeping bags. Nylon sleeping bags are extremely durable, so you can go years before having to replace them. They are designed to be lightweight, so they are ideal for long-distance backpacking trips or other adventures where weight and volume are a priority. They are very soft, so you can get a good night's sleep after a long day adventuring in the outdoors. Nylon sleeping bags dry quickly, so even in the wettest conditions, they hardly absorb any moisture.

These sleeping bags have zoned insulation, maximizing the warmth where it is most needed. They prevent any heat loss, so you can pack lightly, knowing that you won't have to bring tons of extra gear and layers to keep you warm enough. With insulation running along the length of the zipper, they eliminate weak points along the opening that can allow in cold drafts. Extreme cold weather sleeping bags are usually designed with a draft collar, keeping the warm air around your torso in and cold air out. They are more often than not designed with feather down, so they have an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

Rectangular Sleeping Bags

Looking to buy a new sleeping bag that will offer tons of room to stretch out? We have two rectangle sleeping bags available. Click here to have a look at one now. Rectangular sleeping bags have a very spacious design, allowing you to stretch out with a generous amount of space. They accommodate varying sleeping positions, allowing you to sleep in any position you choose. With double zippers, they are perfect for sleeping two as you can zip two sleeping bags together. Something to consider is that they are not very heat-efficient, creating extra space inside which can weaken the bag's ability to keep you warm. Also, rectangular sleeping bags are quite heavy, so they aren't suitable for when weight is a concern.

Mummy Sleeping Bags

Thinking about getting a mummy sleeping bag? We have just one mummy nylon sleeping bag. These mummy sleeping bags weigh less than rectangular bags, providing excellent insulation per unit weight. Ideal for cold weather, they help trap body heat. A potential downside is that they provide less space to move around, making them uncomfortable for sleepers who toss and turn.
