And the merky sleeping bag rating system.
I would say that the consideration for a good quality sleeping bag is well worth the investment. I yield on the safe side, so if the temperature rating is listed at 40 degrees, then I'll get one that will be confortabe at 25 or 30 degrees. I use two bags, one for summer and one for winter conditions.
What type of sleeping bag do you prefer? And I don't like 'mummy' bags. I like a bag that zips all the way down so I can stick my feet out if I want to. Don't ask me why... I just do!
Here's an interesting article on sleeping bag ratings myth. It would be great if all the sleeping bag manufacturer's would get on the same page when it came to a unified rating system.
