8. S L E E P I N G B A G S
A sleeping bag is an insulated covering for a
person, essentially a lightweight quilt that can
be closed with a zipper or similar means to
form a tube, which functions as lightweight,
portable bedding in situations where a person
is sleeping outdoors (e.g. when camping,
hiking, hill walking or climbing).

9. DESIGN TYPES
• A basic sleeping bag is simply a square blanket
or quilt, fitted with a zipper on two or three
sides, which enables users to get into the bag
and then close it up. A sleeping bag of this type
is packed by being folded in half or thirds, rolled
up, and bound with straps or cords with cord
locks.

10. • In Europe, the EN 13537 standard normalizes the temperatures at
which a sleeping bag can be used. A test, relying on a heated
mannequin, provides four temperatures:
• the upper limit is the highest temperature at which a 'standard' adult
man is able to have a comfortable night's sleep without excess
sweating.
• the comfort rating is based on a 'standard' adult woman having a
comfortable night's sleep.
• the lower limit is based on the lowest temperature at which a 'standard'
adult man is deemed to be able to have a comfortable night's sleep.
• the extreme rating is a survival only rating for a 'standard' adult man.
This is an extreme survival rating only and it is not advisable to rely on
this rating for general use.
