When searching for the right sleeping bag to use for a winter camping trip, a main consideration is the temperature rating. You’ll want to know how cold the weather can get at night (where you’ll be camping) in order to guide your choice. Don’t pick the coldest rated sleeping bag to cover all scenarios. You may end up too warm and uncomfortable, plus the extra insulation is additional weight you have to carry with you.

The other features outside of the temperature rating is where your personal preferences play more of a part. Major differentiations include the shape of the bag, and the materials used for outer layers and lining. Ultimately, all of these choices will affect the overall weight.
