And, not just any sleeping bag. This bag has got to be <strong>tough<\/strong> and <strong>durable<\/strong>. Its pack size and weight are less important for the time being. Over the course of this gruelling search for a new sleeping bag, you\u2019ll stumble upon heaps of terms, including but in no way limited to down fill, comfort rating and the like. And, you\u2019ll inevitably come across the term <strong>synthetic sleeping bag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, for good reason: there are plenty of advantages of synthetic sleeping bags, and toughness is one of them. But, you may be asking yourself: what the deuce are synthetics doing in a sleeping bag, anyway? Wouldn\u2019t down insulation be much better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-synthetic-insulation\">What is synthetic insulation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sleeping-bags\/\">sleeping bag<\/a> with synthetic insulation came to market as early as the 1950s. The Norwegian brand Ajungilak, which belongs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/mammut\/\">Mammut<\/a> today, was one of the pioneers in the development and manufacturing of sleeping bags. In fact, they quickly established themselves as the go-to brand for international expeditions and normal outdoor travels. But, ever so gradually, other companies began making sleeping bags with synthetic insulation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you have probably already gathered, the insulation in this case is provided by synthetic fibres. How? Well, these extremely thin fibres loft and thus trap heat, resulting in an insulating layer. But, in order for the fibre to loft to their full potential, the <strong>surface of the fibres has to be as smooth as possible<\/strong>. For this reason, synthetic fibres used for high-quality sleeping bag insulation have a <strong>silicone coating<\/strong>. This treatment serves to help the synthetic fibres perpetually repel each other. The smoother and more robust the silicone layer is supposed to be, the more complex the manufacture of the fibres. But, the time and effort put into the process is definitely worth it, because it results in a <strong>long-lasting fill<\/strong>\u00a0that won\u2019t lose its fill power even after extended periods of use. The quality of the fill is one of the main reasons for the major price difference you\u2019ll see every now and again between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/synthetic-sleeping-bags\/\">synthetic sleeping bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-advantages\">The advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-1500x1002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-1500x1002.jpg\" alt=\"Zwei Personen mit Kunstfaserschlafs\u00e4cken in einer Schneeh\u00f6hle\" class=\"wp-image-63611\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-1500x1002.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ideal-fuer-Mehrtagestouren1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In July of 2012 David Lama, Peter Ortner, Corey Rich, Remo Masina, and Andrew Peacock traveled to the Karakoram mountains in Pakistan to climb and film on Trango Tower 6,286 m (20,608 ft), otherwise known as Nameless Tower.  The expedition was part of Mammut&#8217;s 150 years peak project. David Lama, Peter Ortner, and Corey Rich summited Trango Tower during the expedition via &#8220;Eternal Flame.&#8221; The team had intended to free climb the route but conditions did not permit as the route was too wet.  \r\n(For specific caption information see below)\r\n\r\nDavid Lama &#8211; Climber\r\nPeter Ortner &#8211; Climber\r\nCorey Rich &#8211; Filmmaker \/ Photographer\r\nRemo Masina &#8211; RC Helicopter operator\r\nAndrew Peacock &#8211; Assistant \/ 2nd Photographer\r\n\r\nLama and Ortner sleeping in snow cave at &#8220;The Sun Terrace&#8221; on &#8220;Eternal Flame&#8221; route.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The big advantage of synthetics is that they <strong>hardly absorb any moisture<\/strong>. If the sleeping bag does get wet at some point, its synthetic insulation will <strong>maintain its insulation properties even when wet<\/strong>. Plus, it dries quickly as well. Another great thing about synthetics is that they\u2019re <strong>very resilient<\/strong>, making them incredibly easy to care for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you tend to travel in regions with high humidity, this is something you will certainly appreciate. For long trips and expeditions in the winter, you\u2019ll want to opt for a synthetic bag as opposed to down as well because it may be days or even weeks before you\u2019re able to <strong>dry your sleeping bag properly<\/strong>. If you were to use a down sleeping bag in such conditions, there\u2019d always be the risk of the down clumping up when it gets wet, which would result in the down losing its insulation properties, leaving you out in the cold for the rest of the trip! A nightmare in icy-cold temperatures, to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the resilience of synthetic insulation, synthetic sleeping bags are <strong>perfect for overnights at campsites<\/strong>, trips in warmer regions or when you crash on your mate\u2019s couch at the weekend as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-things-to-consider-when-shopping-for-a-sleeping-bag\">Things to consider when shopping for a sleeping bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before buying a synthetic sleeping bag, be sure that it has <strong>high-quality insulation<\/strong>. Materials such as\u00a0MTI from Ajungilak \/ Mammut\u00a0or\u00a0G-Loft from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/carinthia\/\">Carinthia<\/a> are of the highest quality and have been tried and tested on various trips and expeditions. So, it will come as no surprise that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/carinthia-g-250-synthetic-sleeping-bag\/\">CARTINTHIA-G 250 &#8211; synthetic sleeping bag<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/nordisk-oscar-20-mummy-synthetic-sleeping-bag\/\">NORDISK-Oscar Mummy &#8211; synthetic sleeping bag<\/a> have established themselves as absolute classics for winter expeditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-insulation\">The insulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The synthetic insulation in the sleeping bag has been designed for expeditions to damp, cold places. Synthetic sleeping bags often have a \u201cloose shell\u201d construction with off-set stitching to prevent from cold air penetration and give maximum warmth. Synthetic bags also often have \u201coffset quilted layers\u201d, which help to eliminate cold spots, making for a warmer sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-temperature-rating\">The right temperature rating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all sleeping bags, you should always make sure it has the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/temperature-details-in-sleeping-bags-and-what-they-mean\/\"><strong>appropriate temperature rating<\/strong><\/a>. We recommend paying close attention to the T-Comfort rating, which is the lowest temperature you\u2019ll ever want to use the bag in. That way, you won\u2019t run the risk of freezing. Some manufacturers use the \u201cT-Limit\u201d as the lowest temperature, which can give the impression that the sleeping bag is warmer than it actually is. We know from experience that it can get pretty chilly in many sleeping bags when exposed to these kind of temperatures, so, again, pay close attention to the T-Comfort rating, regardless of whether you\u2019re a man or a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/carinthia-g-280-kunstfaserschlafsack.jpg\" alt=\"CARINTHIA  G 280 Kunstfaserschlafsack\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The CARINTHIA-G 280 &#8211; synthetic sleeping bag with G-Loft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-form-des-kunstfaserschlafsacks\">Die Form des Kunstfaserschlafsacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor is the <strong>shape of the sleeping bag<\/strong>. If you\u2019re just looking for one to use sporadically for camping or sleeping over at your mate\u2019s, a rectangular sleeping bag with a circumferential zip is your best bet. That way, you\u2019ll be able to <strong>convert it into a blanket in no time at all<\/strong>\u00a0whenever you get too hot. A long zip is a really nice feature, as it will allow you to manually adjust how warm it is in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the sleeping bag to be <strong>as warm as possible, we recommend you go for a\u00a0mummy-shaped bag<\/strong>. These are more form-fitting, so there is <strong>less air around your body<\/strong> and thus less heat needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. Do make sure that the size of the sleeping bag corresponds with your size. You don\u2019t want it to be too long or too short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest <strong>disadvantage of synthetic bags<\/strong>\u00a0is that they are much <strong>heavier and have a larger pack size than <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/down-sleeping-bags\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">down sleeping bags<\/a><\/strong>. But, that\u2019s about it. Synthetic sleeping bags are more resilient and easier to care for than their down counterparts. You can even machine-wash a lot of them. Plus, they\u2019re usually less expensive than down, too, which, for many, is the winning argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/kunstfaserschlafsaecke\/\">Buy synthetic sleeping bags<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time for a new sleeping bag.
