How this works...

All of the bags we rent are well-designed, relatively lightweight bags that will help keep you warm and dry at night. Most of our rental bags have a synthetic material fill; natural down is slightly lighter and more expensive, but if you get it wet, you're basically screwed for a few days until it dries out. Synthetic-filled bags will still function fairly well even if they get wet. For those reasons, we decided to mainly stick to the synthetic fills for all of the bags we carry, although they don't stuff down as well as the down ones. And yes, we fully wash each bag between rentals, so you won't be catching any bugs or anything from the prior renter - here's me in action. Lot's of fun. If you're not sure what specific items of gear will be best to take, check out our preset gear packages for easy one-selection shopping for different types of wilderness trips.

Most of the sleeping bags we rent are categorized by the general temperature range in which they will be used. Options under this 'Cool Weather' category are for nights in which you expect the temperature to fall in the 30F - 40F range, or higher. Other sleeping bag options include Cold Weather (bigger) and Warm Weather (smaller) models, or see all of the sleeping gear items we rent on one page. There are lots of other factors that influence your comfort, including your metabolism; what you're wearing; the quality of your mattress pad; the size of your tent; and how many campers are in the tent with you. It might be tempting to always take the warmest bag possible, but be aware that the warmer the bag, usually it's also bulkier and heavier to carry. On the other hand, you can always just unzip a too-warm sleeping bag to get comfortable. Whatever route you go, don't blame us for the weather, as sometimes happens. See more pictures and suggestions on using this cool-weather sleeping bag.

To maximize comfort and the warmth capacity of the bag, always rent a mattress such as one of our various Thermarest or other brand options. Don't try to save a few bucks and plan to just sleep directly on the tent floor - you'll be in for one miserable night. And the mattress pad can have as much to do with how warm you are as the bag. Another hint - if you have excess room lengthwise in the sleeping bag - such as a youth in an adult bag -  stuff some of your clothes in the bottom to help keep feet warm and reduce the amount of air inside the bag your body heat has to try to warm up, or throw in a hand warmer packet. If you want to add another 5-10 degrees of warmth to any bag we carry, we rent bag liners that are also good as a standalone bag at 55-60 degrees or more.

Our sleeping bags are from well-known brands such as Kelty, Alps Mountaineering, Marmot, and Sierra Designs. Select the model from the drop-down box below that best matches your planned adventure. Most of our bags are 'Regular' length, which means it's designed for 6-footers and under. If you played some basketball as a forward, these regulars might be a little cold in bad weather if you can't cinch all the way up at the top. In that case, try one of long sleeping bag options. The extra length isn't too important in the summer though.

Note - this item has a high volume-to-weight ratio - that is, it may be relatively light, but it eats up a lot of box space. Shipments including this item often require a bigger box that is subject to a rate surcharge by UPS, so the effective shipping weight calculated at checkout is higher than the actual weight.
