Best Cold Weather Sleeping Bags 2022

If you camp in the dead of winter (or in extreme environments), the best cold weather sleeping bags are a necessity when temperatures dip below freezing. As you settle in to sleep after a hard day on the trail (or glacier), you’ll appreciate their lofty warmth and much needed coziness. And while a good sleeping bag can make or break your sleep experience, they’re not the only factor. “A huge part of staying warm at night comes down to your entire sleep system,” explains Porter McMichael, the assistant operations manager and guide at the International Mountain Guides, “which includes your sleeping pad and tent, too.”

Cold weather sleeping bags come in many varieties, from down-filled, which is light and warm, to synthetic, which is bulky but water-resistant. However, the main question to consider is what temperature rating you need. While sleeping bags ship with the brand’s estimated temperature rating, there’s a lot of variability in comfort level. (For example, the Kelty 0-degree bag has a comfort rating of 17 degrees while the Marmot 0-degree bag is comfortable at -3 degrees.)

That’s why many bags are externally tested, helping to verify their temperature rating. “EN[or ISO] gives you three standardized ratings based on the actual insulated properties—comfort rating, lower limit and extreme,” explains McMichael. “If a sleeping bag has been EN tested, you’ll be able to compare a Mountain Hardwear to a Marmot.”

With this information in mind, read on for the best cold weather sleeping bags so you can sleep outside even when the mercury dips below freezing.
