Hiking and bivouac sleeping bags

Hiking sleeping bags: choose well to sleep warmly

A hiking sleeping bag is essential for comfortable nights when wild camping or trekking. Your choice depends mainly on the comfort temperature, weight and type of bag.

Whether you are setting off on a summer hike or a more demanding multi-day route, it is essential to match your sleeping bag to the conditions you will encounter.

What should you consider when choosing a sleeping bag?

Comfort temperature: the priority

The comfort temperature indicates the conditions in which you can sleep without feeling cold. It is the first factor to consider when choosing a sleeping bag for hiking.

Weight and compressibility: making the most of your backpack

Choose a lightweight sleeping bag for long distances or trekking. The more compact it is, the less space it takes up in your backpack.

Bag shape: comfort or thermal performance

• Rectangular sleeping bag: more spacious, ideal for camping or mild nights
• Which sleeping bag suits your activity?
• Summer hiking and lightweight wild camping

Choose a lightweight, compact sleeping bag suited to mild temperatures.
