Summer camping, do we need down sleeping bags？
Summer camping has to face problems such as exposure to the sun, excessive rain, high humidity, and high temperatures. However, everyone will prepare various equipment such as a silver-coated canopy, a waterproof tent, and a thin blanket to cope with the changeable weather in summer.
If you are in a commercial campsite, this combination will be very comfortable. The facilities around the commercial campground are complete, and you can evacuate at any time or move indoors for the night due to sudden weather changes or sudden drops in temperature.
But going camping in the mountains is very risky. The weather in summer is changeable, and everyone can consciously avoid problems such as sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration, heavy rain, etc., but there is one thing that many people ignore, and that is the temperature difference! ! !
Although the scenery is beautiful, don’t be careless
The temperature in the city is higher than in the mountains, and the temperature gradually decreases as the altitude increases (the temperature decreases by 0.6 degrees Celsius when the altitude increases by 100 meters). And humidity, wind, light, etc. will also affect the temperature, so the temperature changes greatly. Hypothermia can result if you are not adequately prepared.
Hypothermia (Hypothermia, derived from the Greek "ὑποθερμία") is also known as hypothermia and hypothermia. Describes the phenomenon that occurs when the body's core temperature falls below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F). Symptoms of hypothermia depend on the temperature. Mild hypothermia may cause shivering and confusion. In moderate hypothermia, shivering disappears but confusion worsens. In the case of severe hypothermia, there will be abnormal undressing, that is, the patient begins to take off his clothes, which also increases the risk of cardiac arrest.

What? Loss of temperature in summer?
Hypothermia is coldness, which is caused by low temperature. Usually people think that it is difficult to experience hypothermia when the temperature is above 10℃, but among the three factors of temperature, humidity, and wind, humidity and wind play a role: if the whole body is soaked, or the air humidity is high, or the wind on the mountain is strong, it will also cause People experience severe hypothermia in summer.
How to avoid potential temperature hazards?
Wearing clothing made of quick-drying fabrics
Keep your clothes as dry as possible
Reduce water evaporation and take away body heat
Must bring a raincoat or jacket
Avoid getting wet in the rain
Bring an ultra-thin and ultra-light down jacket.Even if it's just a small hill, it may be used or prepared for people around you.
Give up thin blankets and bring a summer sleeping bag, such as this one, a down sleeping bag filled with 200 grams of down: Thin blankets/fleece sleeping bags may be cold, but cotton sleeping bags are large and heavy, portable and warm, and are the first choice for summer camping activities
Water-repellent down, water-repellent fabric, not afraid of humid environments, 700+ fill power, better thermal insulation effect.
The most important thing is that it is versatile and can be used alone as a sleeping bag. The hoodless design can be used in other applications, such as in a 700g sleeping bag. It has high thermal insulation efficiency and is suitable for more environments.
