Simon discusses the importance of a good sleep system for backcountry trips, emphasising its impact on comfort, warmth, and overall well-being during the journey.
Considerations when buying a sleeping pad include factors like sleeping style, size, R value (insulation rating), material, and valve type. The R value should be a balance between insulation and packability.
Simon's review highlights the significance of the material, valve type, and inflation sack when choosing a sleeping pad. The inflation sack aids in preventing moisture from entering the pad and increases efficiency. When choosing a sleeping bag, factors such as warmth, pack size, weight, and price are important. Tapered mummy bags are efficient but may not suit restless sleepers, while down bags are more compact and lightweight.
Additional considerations include the Loft rating of the sleeping bag, the option of using a sleeping bag liner for added warmth, and the potential luxury of a lightweight, packable pillow for improved comfort during backcountry sleep.
