Component Parts Of A Sleeping Bag

Basically, good camping sleeping bags that can be used alongside camping tents should have the following main parts and features:

1. Zippers: sleeping bags should come with side zippers that allow zipping up in cold weather conditions and zipping down in warmer conditions. Good sleeping bags come with waterproof zippers protected by flaps which reduce heat loss.
2. Hood: this prevents heat loss through the head. A hood will insulate your head leaving only a small portion of your face open for normal breathing. Hoods mostly come with drawstrings which allow for easy sealing of the hood.
3. Collar: this part of the sleeping bag further reduces heat loss through the head opening. Good sleeping bags come with removable collars which gives you the option of using it or not depending on the weather condition.
4. Sleeping pad connectors: good sleeping bags come with special clips for attachment to a sleeping mat. This ensures that you are not dislodged from your sleeping position during the night.
5. Pillow pockets: some sleeping bags come with special pockets that you can fill with air and use as pillows.
