July 20, 2012 by Meghan J. Ward 2 Comments

Finding the right sleeping bag is like investing in a good bed. If you are an outdoors enthusiast, you’ll spend a lot of time in there and you’ll be trusting your sleeping bag to give you a good night’s sleep and help you refuel for the next day’s adventure. But, how do you choose? What’s the difference between synthetic and down? In this infographic, REI shows you the ins and outs of sleeping bags, including how much weight you gain for warmth. Don’t miss their ‘Field Notes’ – they definitely made me laugh over here at The Campsite.

I have been a huge fan of REI for a long time. Unfortunately they don’t have a base in Europe. But they do come up with great bits valuable to outdoor enthusiasts all over the world. This is one of them.
