The North Face Sleeping Bags & Pads

The North Face name is synonymous with outdoor gear. From backpacks and tents to outerwear and sleeping bags, The North Face offers quality gear for your next adventure. Altrec.com has a wide range of The North Face sleeping bags for your camping needs. Whether you need a state-of-the-art down mummy bag or a cozy sleeping bag for two, The North Face has a bag for you.

The North Face sleeping bags can be divided into a few main categories:

You can further break bags down into the following categories:

• Synthetic insulation - Synthetic bags come in every temperature rating, but are normally a little heavier and a little bulkier than similarly rated down bags. Synthetic insulation stays warm when wet, dries out quickly and is generally considered to be easier to maintain than down.
• Down insulation - Down or goose feathers offer the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation available. Down comes in several grades. 800-fill is considered the highest loft and quality available, while 550-fill is a lower grade. The warmest and lightest sleeping bags will use 800-fill. A 550-fill bag can still offer a cold temperature rating, but it will be heavier than an 800-fill bag with the same rating.

Most people will find a +20ºF sleeping bag to be ideal for all around camping and backpacking, and The North Face has synthetic and down sleeping bags rated to +20ºF. The Cat's Meow is one of best selling synthetic +20ºF mummy models that we carry. It is available in women's and men's cuts. The North Face even has kid's sleeping bags rated to +20ºF.

You can go lighter and more compact with a down mummy bag. The North Face's popular 3-season Blue Kazoo is rated to +15ºF and is an excellent choice in lightweight 3-season comfort. It is also available in men's and women's designs.

If you are a casual, warm weather camper, look for a roomy rectangular style bag like the Allegheny +40ºF. The rectangular cut is comfortable and utilitarian, perfect for car camping and sleepovers.

The North Face has bags for every adventure. Whether you need a superlight 0ºF down mummy bag, an expedition worthy bag for extreme cold or an all-purpose 3-season synthetic bag, you will find it at Altrec.com.
