Sleeping Gear

Camp sleeping gear for rent

We rent sleeping bags and mattress pads via nationwide shipping or local pickup at our retail store. A lot of campers and backpackers spend a lot of time working on minimizing weight, getting a comfortable pack, packing the right amount of food and water - which are all important - but then give short thrift to the value of quality rest at night.

We believe in the importance of a good night's rest - odds are you'll be sleeping (or at least trying to sleep) longer than you'll be hiking - and so we offer a wide range of options to accommodate any sleeping style under any weather conditions.

We offer top-quality, lightweight sleeping gear from Sierra Designs, Kelty, Marmot, ThermaRest, Klymit, Big Agnes and others. All sleeping gear is recent model issue in new or virtually new condition. Everything is cleaned and disinfected after each rental. Here's me in action. Lots of fun.

For starters, browse through sleeping bags and make a selection considering your lowest expected night-time temperature. Factor in if you tend to sleep hot or cold, but the warmer you want to be, those bags will be heavier. This matters depending on if you are backpacking or car-camping, as weight will come into play. We also offer an ultralight bag liner for rent to add warmth to one of our other bags or to use by itself on hot summer nights. See the product description section for more details.

The best sleeping bag is only part of the equation, as what's underneath you is equally important. We have a selection of mattress pads from ThermaRest and other brands. The mattress pad can have as much to do with how warm you sleep as the sleeping bag, and don't believe what you see in Westerns where the cowboy just throws down a saddle and sleeps on the ground - it is actually quite miserable without a mattress pad, even on a tent floor. Rent the one best for your trip and weather - see the individual mattress pad product descriptions for more details.
