Sleeping Bags

Women's sleeping bags are definitely worth considering as they fit better, so there is not a lot of dead space for cold to live. In Howl's winter camping experience from 25 years of dog mushing, a 15 degree bag is good for camping when it gets down to as low as the mid-20s. Below that, we recommend double bagging. This plus any other mummy bag would make it good down to about zero. Marmot uses a reliable standard for measuring, which most others don't. While Marmot's clothing is a good value and decent quality, their camping gear is top quality. We have been very impressed by it and consider it to be some of the best. That is why we have it in our store. Here is what Marmot says about this bag: Features Women's Specific Fit - More Insulation in Key Areas Fold-Down Second Zipper Provides added Ventilation and Easy Access, Main Zipper Anti-Snag Slider reduces Snagging Anatomically 3D Footbox increases the insulation and room for your feet, for more Warmth and Comfort Spirafil High Loft Insulation for Maximum warmth and durability EN Tested Combination Wave Construction Top provides Maximum Loft and Warmth, Blanket Construction Bottom for the best warmth and comfort under body Full Length Locking YKK Two Way Zipper 3D Hood Construction Stash Pocket "Feely" Draw Cords Snagless Insulated Draft Tube Two Hang Loops Compression Stuff Sack Description Don’t cancel your next overnight adventure just because the forecast is calling for a little rain—bring the all-purpose Women's Trestles 15° Sleeping Bag, built to perform in cold and damp conditions as you’re backpacking, trekking, mountaineering, and more.

Its wave-construction top and blanket-construction bottom provide an unbeatable combo of maximum loft, warmth, and comfort, plus this specially-designed women’s bag offers extra insulation where you need it.

These Marmot bags are the real deal! Howl tested. Their temperature system is more consistent than others. As veteran winter campers from our 25 years of mushing, Howl recommends if you are sleeping outside in actual 15 degree temps, use two bags. But this 15 degree bag is a good cold season camping bag, comfortable down into the lower 20s, or maybe 15 for a little while.
