Mild Temperature Bags: Fair-weather bags will serve your children well whenever
your thermometer reports at least 45 as in summer or R.V. camping or any
indoor sleepover.
Moderate Temperature Bags: The most versatile of bags,
Moderates adapt to a bunch of nighttime uses in outdoor settings as varied
as your interests. Moderately rated bags constitute the bulk of the Coleman
line. But shop carefully. In the details of their design and sizing will come
a lifetime of satisfaction with your outdoor nights .... and the days that
follow.
Extreme Temperature Bags: These bags wait, as their
name implies, for nights en extremis, three-dog nights with the wind a howl
and the coyotes shivering. Here, Coleman design and high-tech insulation combine
for maximized warmth and superior comfort on evenings when one honestly should
expect neither. DuPont Hollofil II serves in some of these bags; it's a high-loft,
high-performance 4-hole, hollow-core fiber treated with a special silicone
coating for improved compactability. In some other Extreme bags, Coleman's
own Coletherm insulation does the job. It, too, is a hollow-core fiber designed
to trap air for even more warmth.
