Going with the Best: The North Face Sleeping Bag
from:The North Face has been in existence since 1966, bringing superb outdoor gear to enthusiasts. As the company evolved throughout the years, they mixed technology with experience in order to provide customers with an even better array of quality products. One of those products is the North Face sleeping bag. The North Face sleeping bag offers the best of features using ultra-modern technology and top quality materials. Whether a camper prefers synthetic insulation or the loft of natural down, The North Face has a number of products with useful efficient features for every camper or hiker. Many find that once a North Face sleeping bag becomes part of their gear, it becomes an irreplaceable piece of equipment.
The North Face sleeping bag is a bag mostly for colder weather venues with temperature ratings from above 15 degrees Fahrenheit to below zero ratings. Because of that, the bags come mostly- but not always- in a mummy shape bag. This is the shape of bag that retains the most body heat. For the bags that do not use natural down as an insulator, The North Face uses Heatshield Optimal Technology and Polarguard in their construction. This synthetic insulation offers a great warmth-to-weight ratio, the ability to compress well and will remain extremely durable all the while. These insulators are considered by some to be lighter and efficient, thermally speaking. They do not shift as much and leave room for cold spots in the bag.
Once inside the unit, campers will be further protected by waterproof shells, overlapping shingle construction and a lined zipper column. The bags are designed to fit any sized camper and women’s and child’s fits can be easily found. The women’s fit has just the right amount of space for female shoulder and hip proportion as well as length. A handy feature is the ability to zipper to bags together at a time. This useful option creates a larger sleeping space and can also be used at times when extreme weather conditions require extra body heat for campers to stay comfortable.
Comfortable and efficient features on the North Face sleeping bag further increase its value to a hikers and campers. These include:
* Vaulted footboxes that offer a good amount of ergonomic comfort for tired hikers
* Oversized down-filled draft tubes to block out chilly drafts
* Easy one-hand pull cord for making trouble-free hood adjustments
* No snag glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls
* Head-level watch pockets
* Safe kid features, like easy-grab zippers and no elastic or cords in the head or neck area
