Life Question about sleeping bags for backpacking - Page 6

**petegz28** · 02-05-2013, 06:39 PM

Ok, all you outdoorsy types, I have been looking into some sleeping bags that are good for backpacking. I have seen the down bags that stuff into basically a coffee can, or so it seems. This isn't for extreme use, just for a couple over night hiking trips and what not.

I have seen prices from $100-$500+

Again the most important thing here is that the bags stuff down to small size to fit in the backpack compartment.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions

I'd also suggest as mentioned earlier, to have a seperate set of cloths to sleep in. A union suit/long johns, wool socks, and a hat. I also use a Army poncho liner for a lil blanket that folds up small.
