This is the best sleeping bag

Every year, mine The family kicks off at the summer, the Aka campsite season – with a weekend in the high desert, where a 90 -degree 90 degree fahrenheit is located during the day and descends to the 1940s at night. Every year, my desperate husband tries to accommodate his dog, wife and children by filling our entire truck with every single variety of sleeping material we possess, from the light lining to the camping quilts to my mummy bag to 0 degrees.

How to organize materials to sleep when everyone in your family have different heat tolerances (my son and my husband run hot, my daughter and I run a lot, very cold); When everyone goes to bed at different times; And when your tent is sometimes suffocating and sometimes freezing? We have resigned ourselves to constantly wake up and regular layers, mix us under extra blades, parade the mummy bag or press against other bodies in the tent (this is the strategy of my son and I do not recommend it).

This year we solved the problem with the Rumpl Wrap Sack ($ 250). This is the most surprising sleeping bag I’ve ever used. My son stole the tester that Rumpl sent, then we had to buy another to my daughter. I want it back!

The rumpl is a synthetic pile bag. It is evaluated for 20 degrees Fahrenheit and tested (from rumpl) at temperatures up to 10 degrees. You can also order a Field cushion in combined colors ($ 60) This adapts perfectly to the hood. This solved the problem of my children who grab cushions straight from beds to sleep in the earth for three days.

The temperature assessments are misleading, however, because the genius of the wrapping sack is that you can choose exactly how much isolation you want. The sleeping bag is truly a sleeping and folding blanket. You can open it entirely when you are hot at 20:00; Wrap a layer above the child when the temperature dropped by 10 degrees at 22:00; Then wrap another layer at 1 or 2 in the morning when it becomes even colder, like a burrito in fun colors.

“But Adrienne”, you say, “you may not do it with A quilt with backpack on the shoulder? “Interesting that you ask Have tried. This is why my husband took the habit of packing almost any type of bed linen that we have ever owned for each trip. You have not known the real and exhausted despair until I am one in the morning after a whole day of swimming and excursions; You are trapped in a tent with all your family, far from civilization; And your children are sobbing strong while fighting in black darkness in the field trying to find the right layers.

This is too hot! This is too cold! The zipper is blocked! The dog score! We endured this Rigmarole for so many nights, only for all of us we fall into an exhausted amazement at 4 in the morning when the sun starts to go out and waking up sweat at 9 in the morning, just when the curtain begins to become warm.
