A word about a great piece of gear
I just wanted to put out a little review on a piece of gear that has served me very well. This sleeping bag is made by Sierra Designs and it’s called a Sandman. I have had this bag for going on 4 years now, it’s been with me from one side of the country to the other, in warm climates and cold and it’s one of the best investments that I’ve made, ever. The zipper still works great and I am always comfy in it. There is very little wear and tear, and the temperature rating is perfect for many instances. The times I have gone camping and the temp was lower than the rating of the bag I just simply wore some clothes and the thing was fine. One time I had to add some blankets on top when I was stuck in Wyoming in a blizzard and it was 0 degrees with the wind blowing like no tomorrow. This put it well below the rating and it still did fine.
I love the flexability of the bag, because I tend to sleep on my side and I always struggled with mummy bags in the past. It’s a little on the heavy side at 3lbs 12 oz, but that is because it is stuffed with polargaurd 3D. This is far better if you think that the bag will ever get wet, because it doesn’t lose it’s insulating properties when wet. For a traveler like myself that is not super concerned with weight and size this is the way to go. Highly recommended for the price, next time you are looking for a good sleeping bag check these out.
