Choosing a sleeping bag is always difficult. First of all, you need to take into account the quality of tailoring, and then the size, filler, etc. It is a universal and irreplaceable thing for spending the night in the open air. But when a fighter from the Armed Forces of Ukraine needs it, the task becomes several times more complicated. Because it is about the daily comfort of a person and his health. We will tell you how to choose the warmest sleeping bag for a military man in a new article.

What should be the filler material?

The best sleeping bags for the military are those made of synthetic materials, because they are light and protected from moisture. Experts say that sintepon is a bad choice - it is cheap and poorly retains heat.

There are other, more "advanced" versions of sintepon, in which the fibers are in the form of spirals and tubes: primaloft, holofiber, etc. In their thermal qualities they are more similar to natural fillers, so you can to consider them as a valid option.

Military sleeping bags made of goose and duck down can also be found on the market. They warm perfectly, take up little space and are light.

The lining for the sleeping bag can be cotton or polyester (this material suits the best for washing). Furnishing should also be of good quality: test all zippers and buttons.

Shape and size

In addition to the material, it is also worth paying attention to the shape of the product. The most common and anatomically best option is the so-called "cocoon". You can also consider a blanket with a circular zipper. Do not forget to take care of the lining for the common bag (eg a carpet), because the ground is very cold in winter.

It is very easy to choose the size of the sleeping bag. To do this, use the formula "fighter's height + 30 centimeters". The width should be selected according to the figure. Before buying a sleeping bag, you should try it on. It is important that you can comfortably lie in it and turn from side to side.

Certification

Of course, as with any other military equipment, when buying a sleeping bag, you should check the manufacturer's documentation. Its presence is a confirmation that the sleeping bag has been tested, will really perform its main function and will not be damaged after several uses.

It is worth buying such a thing now, because winter is in full swing and the military is in dire need of insulation.
