Why buy a women specific Sleeping bag
Everyone is different. Women tend to feel colder especially in their extremities. That's why all of our women's sleeping bags and pads have additional insulation throughout with an extra helping in the foot box.
They are also shorter overall, wider in the waist, and narrower in the hips to help keep the warm air closer to your body. However, if this doesn't sound like you, a unisex option might be a better fit.
Temperature Ratings
What temperature rating you need depends entirely on where you'll be sleeping. Winter camping requires a sleeping pad with an R value of +5 and a sleeping bag rated to -0°F or less. Summer camping only needs a +2 R value pad and a +40°F bag.
If you love spring and fall camping, you can always add some extra insulation with a liner (which also works as a great summer/travel blanket).
Keep in mind, most sleeping bags keep you warm at +15°F higher than it's rated temperature. That means you might be chilly in your 15°F bag if it's 15°F outside but you'll be toasty at 32°F.
Synthetic or Down?
All of the down sold at Wanderer's Outpost is RDS Certified.
Down is warmer, lighter and more compress-able than synthetic fills. However, while there are some hydrophobic down bags, down mostly doesn't like getting wet.
Synthetic might have some draw backs, but it can get wet, dries faster, is much cheaper and just as warm as down if you don't mind the extra weight or loss of packability.
Mummy vs Side Sleeping
For the longest time, there were only 2 shapes for sleeping bags; mummy bags or rectangles. Mummy bags were the preferred shape for backpackers as it had less material so it was lighter and it's form fitting shape would keep you warmer in cold weather. The only problem is they always felt a little claustrophobic. The rectangle was roomier but really only for car camping as it was too heavy and not warm enough.
But that has all changed. Nemo's spoon shape and Sea to Summit's extra space in the hips and knees finally provide the warmth and benefits of mummy bags for all of us side-sleepers
