The North Face Allegheny H.O.T.tm SL Rectangular Sleeping Bag Regular

Advantages: Extremely Warm. Considerable Amount Of Down
Disadvantages: I Can't Think Of Any

...I have wanted one of these bags ever since I slept in one, the first time I went to a cold part of the United States. A friend of mine let me use his, as I couldn't carry too much with weight restrictions on the flight over to LAX from England. I know you are thinking, why did I need to sleep in a bag that is so thick and warm, when I was in a warm part of the USA.

Then you can consider the different styles of bag. The basic bag is a rectangular shape; it has a wide opening at the top and usually a zip on 2 sides. Sometimes you can buy one bag with a left hand zip and one with a right hand zip so that they can join together and make one larger bag. These types of sleeping bag might be good for youth hostels, summer camping use or caravanning. Another type of bag is the tapered sleeping bag. This has a narrower bottom than top and is generally considered slightly warmer than a rectangle because your legs and feet fit more snugly. It might have one or two extra features like a baffle to stop draughts getting... Read review
