With dual zippers, an anti-snag main zipper and a fold down zipper for easy access, you’ll feel snug and secure. An inner zippered pocket is perfect for small personal items you want to keep close while you sleep. 

Best Mummy Sleeping Bag: Nemo Kayu Sleeping Bag

The Kayu sleeping bag from Nemo is ultra lightweight, and with Nemo’s Thermo Gills™ design, you can ”regulate temperature without letting in drafts, deeply extending the useable temperature range.” It’s waterproof hood and footbox will keep you dry on rainy nights, and the 800 FP Down is 100% Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified, and is super packable. Added bonus? Sleeping bags can be zippered together to create a double sleeping bag, for extra warmth or extra snuggles! Available in men’s and women’s sizes. 

Best All-In-One Sleeping Bag: North Face the One Bag 

If you camp all-year round, and would rather have one bag you can use no matter the weather, look no further than the North Face The One Bag. This patent-pending interchangeable design allows you to convert the sleeping bag to whatever you need. On mild nights, you can simply use the outer layer by itself, use the mid layer for cooler nights, and both layers for the coldest of nights (recommended for 5 degrees or warmer). The mid layer also doubles as a shawl, so you can stay warm while sipping your coffee in the morning. Available in regular or long sizes.
