Choosing the Right BaseSleeping Pads
A sleeping pad is the foundation of your sleep system. Your sleeping pad's primary functions are to provide a comfortable sleeping surface and insulate you from the cold ground — which can be a whole lot colder than the air around you.
We challenged every aspect of conventional wisdom when we created our award-winning lineup of innovative air and self-inflating mats. Because when it comes to a great night’s sleep you can’t rest on your reputation.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SLEEPING PAD
Comfort and warmthSleeping Bags
A quality sleeping bag is the heart of your sleep system and has the principal job of protecting you from losing body heat into the surrounding air. When choosing a sleeping bag you should consider the temperature and climate you'll be sleeping in and the desired weight and packability needed.
The type of adventure you're planning to bring your sleeping bag on will vastly change how you prioritize weight, packed size and fill type. If you are going on a thru hike, weight and packed size will be crucial. If you plan on a paddling trip, a synthetic bag that dries more quickly and can still insulate when wet should be your choice.
You may find that a quilt is the right choice so you can pair it with a sleeping bag during extra cold temperatures or use on its own when the nights are warm and you don't need a full sleeping bag.

Warmth, Comfort and CleanlinessSleeping Bag Liners
When assembling your perfect sleep system, a sleeping bag liner forms the next-to-skin layer that adds versatility to the entire system. It can increase comfort, add warmth in cooler temperatures and wick moisture from your skin in warmer, more humid conditions.
Using a liner also significantly reduces the frequency with which you will need to wash your sleeping bag and therefore extend its life. Along with correct storage, this is the single simplest thing you can do to protect the investment you made in a quality sleeping bag. And – not needing to replace an item is the greatest contribution towards sustainability you can make.
