Why a Montbell Sleeping Bag is a Technical Marvel

When it comes to sleeping bags, there are plenty of great options out there. There are bags that can be used in wet weather, and those that cope quite comfortably with freezing, and below freezing temperatures. There are those that are super light, and suitable for cyclists and mountaineers. However, for sheet innovation and technical superiority, there’s very little that comes close to a Montbell sleeping bag. Here’s why.

The folks who make the Montbell sleeping bags have realized what dress makers have known for a long time – that any fabric, cut on the bias (at forty five degrees) will stretch more. They cut all their fabric on the bias, which means that their bags have more stretch than most of their counterparts.

They’ve also come up with another innovation, and the one that really makes a Montbell sleeping bag unique: their spiral pocketed, elasticized stitching design, which maximizes the amount of stretch their bags can offer. That means that no matter how you move around in your bag, you won’t feel constricted. Ask anyone who has ever woken up in a sweaty panic because their sleeping bag has twisted, and they’ll tell you how important that is.

The spiral design and special shaping of a Montbell sleeping bag, combined with the insulation material, also means that the bag stays as near as possible to your body while you sleep. That means less air for your body to heat, so the warmth stays with you, rather than dissipating into the bag. That’s a massive improvement over a traditional square bag, and even improves on other mummy type systems.

Cowls and drawstrings, which make Montbell sleeping bags similar to more traditional mummy bags keep all that heat in, and help to make your sleep a more comfortable one, and with outer fabrics and filling ranging from natural down and nylon to super high tech fabrics and synthetic fills, there’s a bag to suit just about everyone.

Even with all this technology, Montbell sleeping bags still use less fabric and insulation material than many of their counterparts, which makes them lighter, and easier to carry. Great if you’re hiking for miles with an already heavy pack!

For most people, who spend their camping trips in cabins or sedate campsites, a standard sleeping bag will suffice. However, if your trips take you further afield, into more remote and cold areas, or if you just want a bag that offers you the warmest, most comfortable sleep, then a Montbell sleeping bag is definitely the way to go.
After all, how many other sleeping bags can claim to be award winning, and to use Montbell’s patented spiral technology? None. So if you want the very best, and are prepared to pay a little more for a sleeping bag that will stand the test of time, and give you a comfortable sleep, no matter where you are, then a Montbell sleeping bag is definitely the choice for you.
