Choosing the type of sleeping bag insulation should be dependent upon the weather conditions you expect to encounter. How you plan to travel is also a factor. Of course your budget is also a big consideration.Sleeping bags are often classified according to their shape, the weight and the temperature rating. A more important classification has to do with the insulation material used.

Goose down sleeping bags have the advantage of being very light with excellent insulating properties. They may possess the two most enviable qualities you would want in a sleeping bag but they are also the most expensive. They also have a drawback that should not be ignored. Down sleeping bags are not very useful when wet. A wet down sleeping bag will be totally useless in keeping you warm. So, if you expect to frequent locations where you can experience wet conditions, focus your choice of sleeping bags on those that do not use down for insulation.
