Sleeping Bag





Not getting (good quality) sleep can have serious effects on you, particularly on your ability to think. Accidents increase dramatically in sleep deprived people and therefore it is imperative that you invest in a sleeping bag that’ll keep you comfortable on overnight games. The best type of sleeping bag to buy is one with synthetic insulation materials as these retain their thermal properties if they get damp (which is almost inevitable). You should think about buying the best sleeping bag that your budget will allow as it is surprising how cold it can get during the night when you’re exposed to the elements. Manufacturers claims of the thermal properties of sleeping bags are notoriously unreliable, but it is a safe bet that a sleeping bag with specifications in excess of what you think you need will do the job. As a rough guide, a 4 season sleeping bag is the minimum specification that you should consider. Remember that it is always easier to unzip a hot sleeping bag than find additional insulation out in the woods.
