Product Information

Got a Klymit Insulated Static V sleeping mat with R rating 1.9. Might need to upgrade this, especially if I end up with a quilt?

The OEX Fathom EV 300 Sleeping Bag is a synthetic, fully-lined mummy-style sleeping bag that is designed to be suitable for spring through to autumn. It is rated as comfortable down to temperatures as low as 1 degree Celsius (limit -5, extreme -22), which should mean it’s good for frosty mornings in remote areas. The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. Although regular sleeping bags were once the most common and popular outdoor sleeping companion, these have been overtaken by the mummy bags. Mummy sleeping bags Baffles are the name given to the compartments in the interior of the sleeping bags, helping to ensure that the insulation remains distributed evenly. Draft collarIf given the option, it’s optimal to get a sleeping bag with a left-hand zip if you’re right-handed or a right-hand zip if you’re left-handed. Outer fabric A typical sleeping bag comes with the dimensions of 200 x 80 x 50cm is just marginally smaller than the long length sleeping bags offering 20cm of additional length at 220 x 80 x 50cm. These are available in both regular and mummy styles, often differing from the standard sleeping bag with an (L) notation. Double sleeping bags A zip baffle, located behind the zip, is great for reducing the heat loss through the zipper, making a great addition to those 3 and 4 season bags. Zip cover

I'll be using a tent for the foreseeable future (MSR hubba 2 person). Wanna try bivvying and try with a tarp eventually but want more solo experience first. A drawcord can often be included, allowing the user to tighten the hood and retain as much heat as possible. Left and right-hand zips Double sleeping bags, as the name suggests, are made for two people and typically measure 193 x 137cm. Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like OEX are of course extremely well known, especially for Sleeping Bags.If you’re a fan of ergonomics, it’s best to get yourself a sleeping bag with a zip that works well with your dominant hand. I'm looking to hear about people's experiences and set ups during these months. And what you'd recommend for my situation. I know it's somewhat subjective, but I need to buy something so advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. That got us thinking though, that we’re looking at every possible item from OEX so it would be good to narrow our search down even further and only look at OEX branded products within the Sleeping Bags category.

There’s so much information available online when we’re shopping now, that it’s easy to find lots of detail about products like OEX Fathom EV 400 Sleeping Bag. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.

The comfort rating of a sleeping bag, given in degrees celsius, is the optimal temperature at which a user feel comfortable when sleeping in the “rolled-up” position. We lose most of our heat from our heads in a cold environment and by ensuring a hood is built into a sleeping bag, this can be minimised. I've researched a lot but haven't bought anything yet as I worry a bunch that I'll be too hot or too cold with the bags I find. I've looked at quilts too as they appear to have better ventilation options. I think I'll like a quilt but I'm not sure. I guess I’ll never really know if my choice was 100% the best I could make, because I am only able to buy one sleeping bag (I only need one!). But, overall, I am very happy to report that I am quite content with my OEX Fathom EV 300 sleeping bag. It fits the specification I had in mind, didn’t break the bank, and has been keeping me happy at night this summer and autumn so far. As always, if my opinion changes over time I’ll be sure to let you know. The extreme rating of a sleeping bag is the absolute minimum temperature limit which offers the user protection from frostbite or other temperature-related issues.

Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of OEX Fathom EV 400 Sleeping Bag in more detail in a moment.In the past I found little difficulty with a 4 season bag in summer - I just opened the zip. (RAB 900). But it's a bit heavy and bulky. Regular sleeping bags offer users a simple rectangular design with a zipper around two connecting sides. There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it.
