Down vs. Synthetic sleeping bags
I own two down bags. I have never owned a nice synth bag.
Down is lightweight and packs small. Very warm Down has one big downside. Useless when wet. A persuasive argument for synth was provided by those idiot campers in the Northwest that snowed in and wet, and only one person had a synth bag, and they used that to survive. Seems to me that for life-saving camping, synthetic should be the choice. |
