Advantages: Very warm, great colour, comfortable & simple Disadvantages: slightly heavy
The orange glow of this sleepingbag kept us warm on the Northern Ice cap, south Patagonia. Our expedition took us through mozzie ridden temperate forest; snow and then onto the icecap itself. For a period of 6 weeks, this bag proved infallible.
Having been snowed in for a long period on the icecap, warmth was paramount. The Lamina remained warm even after becoming saturated with tent condensate. The neck baffle system worked a treat; it was simple and easy to use. The chunky zips were ideal to open, even with gloved hands, and over the 6 week duration the zips didn't 'catch' once.
If you're looking for a hard core synthetic sleepingbag then this definatley gets my seal of approval; if the icecap wasn't enough it's also stood up to some wet & windy wild camping in the UK lake district. ...
Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!
The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night.
Grobags are baby sleepingbags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt.

They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc.
The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves ...
Advantages: Great for "cold" camping, Very silky soft interior/exterior & waterproof, Relatively Lightweight Disadvantages: Somewhat bulky for a backpacking sleeping bag
Taking a camping trip to Alaska or the Upper Penensula of Michigan, or Antartica in January? Then this is the type of sleepingbag you'll need. Lets get real here though. Who honestly goes camping in JANUARY?? I'm a hardcore camping enthusiest , but even I take a break from Dec thru Feb. Only, even in April and May or September and October, it can get down below freezing at night. Not to mention how freezing the ground can get since it's a natural insulator of the cold.
Even WITH a tent, air mattress ,and your "normal" sleepingbag, you will stuggle with sleep. There will constantly be a part of your body that will stay chilled. I found out the hard way last year in Scotland how imperative it is to have a special tempature regulated sleepingbag. At the end of April 2008 I took a backpacking trip to Inverness (near Loch Ness ...
