This Is the Best Sleeping Bag

Each year, my The family starts in summer – the AKA campsite season – with a weekend in the top desert, where it is a hot 90 -degree fahrenheit during the day and falls in the 1940s at night. Each year, my desperate husband tries to welcome his dog, his wife and his children by filling out our whole truck with each variety of sleeping equipment that we have, from light connections to camping shorts to my 0 degree mummy bag.

How do you organize sleeping materials when everyone in your family has different heat tolerances (my son and my husband are hot, my daughter and I run very, very cold); When everyone goes to bed at different times; And when your tent is sometimes suffocating and sometimes frozen? We resigned ourselves to wake up and adjust the diapers, stir under additional covers, zip the mom’s bag or press against other tent bodies (this is my son’s strategy, and I do not recommend it).

This year, we resolved the problem with the Rumpl Wrap bag ($ 250). It is the most incredible sleeping bag that I have ever used. My son stole the tester that RUMPLT sent, then we had to buy another. I want it!

The rumpl is a synthetic sleeping bag. It is evaluated on 20 degrees Fahrenheit and tested (per RUMP) at temperatures at 10 degrees. You can also order a camp pillow in matching colors ($ 60) that fit perfectly into the hood. This resolved the problem of my children who pillows directly from their bed to sleep in dirt for three days.

The temperature ratings are however misleading, because the genius of the envelope bag is that you can choose exactly the amount of insulation you want. The sleeping bag is really a clipable foldable sleeping blanket. You can open it entirely when you are hot at 8 pm; Wrap a layer above your child when the temperature dropped by 10 degrees at 10 a.m.; 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, “couldn’t you do this with a short hiking?” Interesting that you ask. I to have try. This is why my husband got into the habit of wrapping almost all types of sleeping bedding that we have ever owned for each trip. You do not know the true and exhausted despair until it is 1 am after a full day of swimming and hiking; You are trapped in a tent with your whole family, far from civilization; And your children were sobbing loudly as they struggle in black darkness trying to find the right layers exact.

This one is too hot! This one is too cold! The zipper is stuck! The dog farted! We have endured this fun for so many nights, only so that we all fall into exhausted stupor at 4 am when the sun begins to go out and we wake up in sweat at 9 am, just when the tent begins to make hot cooking.
