Double Sleeping Bag: Its Benefits

By Jema Goldsmith

Trekking or camping without a sleeping bag can create a lot of problems. So, before you start packing for a trekking trip, you must ensure that you have a sleeping bag for yourself. A single sleeping bag is enough for a single person. But, what if you are traveling with your spouse? Are you going to purchase two different sleeping bags? Well, for people who are traveling with their partners, a double sleeping bag would be a better option.

Nowadays, people generally opt for double sleeping ones and there are plenty of reasons for this. So now let us find out some of the basic reasons for which people are shifting to double bags instead of single sleeping bags.

While you are trekking, at times, you might have to sleep in very small spaces. So, here two different sleeping bags can create a bit of a problem, as they will take up more space. But, in case of double bags you can share the bag with your partner and both of you can sleep together. This would also consume less space.

While you are sleeping in the double bag with your partner, you can easily walkout from the bag without disturbing him/her. This is possible due to the double zippers present on the bag. One will be located at your side and the other will be at your partner's side.

While you are trekking, you may need to walk mile after mile, so carrying two sleeping bags can become a tough job. So, you can do away with an "extra" luggage if you carry a double bag instead and it will be easier to carry around. Also, you will be free to carry another equipment in its place.

Another feature of a double bag that makes it far more superior than the single bags is its low price. If you are looking for an economical rate then you must opt for a double sleeping bag as it is much more affordable than 2 single sleeping bags.
