Outwell offers a wide array of sleeping bags, each designed to suit different camping conditions and personal preferences. Here’s a breakdown of our collections and their features:

Selecting the right sleeping bag ensures unparalleled comfort during your camping trips.

How to Select a Sleeping Bag Based on Temperature?

When choosing a camping sleeping bag, one of the most critical factors to consider is its temperature rating. This rating indicates the lowest temperature at which the bag is designed to keep you warm. Selecting the right rating helps ensure a comfortable night’s sleep—without overheating in mild conditions or feeling too cold on chilly nights.

Start by considering the typical weather conditions of your destination. For summer camping, a sleeping bag with a comfort rating around 10–20°C is usually sufficient. For spring and autumn trips, opt for a 0–10°C rating. If you're venturing into colder environments or camping in early spring or late autumn, look for sleeping bags rated below 0°C, often labelled as “three-season” or “four-season.”

It’s also important to understand the difference between comfort, limit, and extreme ratings:

• Comfort: The temperature at which the average user can sleep comfortably.
   
• Limit: The lowest temperature at which a standard user remains warm without shivering.
   
• Extreme: The survival rating—not recommended for regular use, as comfort is not guaranteed.
   

Keep in mind that personal factors such as age, gender, and whether you’re a warm or cold sleeper also influence how much insulation you need. To maximise warmth, pair your sleeping bag with an insulating mat and dress appropriately for the night’s conditions.

By choosing a temperature-appropriate sleeping bag, you not only sleep better but also stay safer and more comfortable—no matter where your adventure takes you.

How to care for your sleeping bag?

Proper maintenance plays a key role in extending the lifespan of your sleeping bag and ensuring it performs well trip after trip. With the right care, your sleeping bag can continue to offer warmth, comfort, and insulation for many years.

Cleaning your sleeping bag

You don't need to wash your sleeping bag after every trip, but occasional cleaning helps remove sweat, body oils, and dirt that can degrade the insulation over time. Always follow the care label instructions. Most sleeping bags can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid fabric softeners and strong detergents, as they can damage the insulation—especially in down-filled bags.

Drying it properly

After washing, allow the sleeping bag to dry completely before storing it. Use a low-heat setting in a tumble dryer if permitted, ideally with clean tennis balls to help restore loft. For air drying, lay it flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

Storing your sleeping bag

Avoid storing your sleeping bag tightly compressed in its stuff sack for long periods, as this can reduce its loft and insulating ability. Instead, store it loosely in a large storage sack or hang it in a dry, breathable environment. This helps the insulation stay fluffy and effective.

Extra tips for longer life

• Use a sleeping bag liner to minimise the need for frequent washing.
   
• Air it out after each trip to remove moisture and odours.
   
• Always store it dry to prevent mildew or mould.
   

With just a few simple habits, you can significantly prolong the life of your sleeping bag and ensure it remains a reliable companion on all your outdoor adventures.
