I want to buy a good quality sleeping bag that will be a great fit for vandwelling.
I have three criteria:
I don't want a down filled sleeping bag as what happens to those animals to get those feathers is absolutely horrifying. Thus, it has to be filled with some sort of alternative. I know down performs very well, but its just not an option for me.
The most difficult question for me it what temperature rating should I get? If its rated 0C to 21C that may not be warm enough for sub zero temps. However, if the sleeping bag is too warm it may make me uncomfortably hot. I suppose I could get one rated from 0C to 21C and then just add another blanket if it gets super cold, but as we know space in a van is precious and storing it when not in use is not ideal.
The third consideration is that I want a large bag. "Big and tall" would work better for me as I am not small and don't like to be confined as I sleep. Mummy bags are not something I care for.
So with those considerations in mind, can anyone one make recommendations?
