The world of sleeping bags has really advanced since the early days of outdoor exploration, offering the camper an abundance of choices to cater to their every need and whim. Whether you like a natural or synthetic filling, high or low temperature rating, double or single — whatever you’re looking for in an ideal bag, it’s out there! A common misconception with camping gear, particularly sleeping bags, is that you have to drop a small fortune to get good quality. While exceptions do apply, this is certainly not the rule. Here are a couple of great quality sleeping bags you can pick up for under $50 at SunnySports.
Eureka! Wild Basin 0F Synthetic Sleeping Bag – $60 $49.95
A sleeping bag that offers protection from the cold down to 0F is going to be a great find for the cold-season camper, and the Wild Basin 0F mummy bag from Eureka! is just that at a great price. This regular size mummy bag is filled with synthetic materials, which eliminates allergy issues that many people have with natural down without skimping on the warmth. The trapezoidal foot box minimizes the dead air space around your feet, keeping them nice and warm on those chilly fall and winter nights. It features an adjustable storm collar and hood with a fleece pillow pocket for added comfort, and an internal storage pocket at the shoulder for sleep aids, earplugs, or electronic devices. It compresses down to just over 5 lbs in the included stuff sack, making this a lightweight and compact option for cold weather camping.
Lafuma Yellowstone 1400 LD 30F Women’s Synthetic Sleeping Bag – $48.95
While a unisex bag will do the trick for just about anyone, sometimes it’s nice to slip into something that’s tailored specifically for your physique, like the Yellowstone 1400 30F women’s mummy bag from Lafuma. Lined with the softest of fleece, this bag is designed to accommodate the unique features of a woman’s frame, offering optimum comfort for late spring through early autumn camping. It features a compact hood and a cold-proof flap at the neck to completely seal in body heat and keep the cold from seeping in, and it can even be zipped together with another Yellowstone 1400 for cozy sleeping for two. An internal Velcro pocket keeps small items at your fingertips, and the snazzy external stitching adds a touch of style to any outdoor environment. This would make a great gift for a classy, outdoor-loving lady!
