sac louis vuitton femme in the camping experience. Sleeping outdoors can be a difficult adjustment for some, which is why it's crucial to have a comfortable sleeping bag. For hardier campers, having a sturdy sleeping bag can make it possible to camp without the need for a tent.
Invention of the sleeping bag
The first sleeping bag, called the "Euklisia Rug," was invented during the late 19th century by mail-order pioneer and Welsh millionaire Pryce Pryce Jones. The initially design was nothing more than a rug for sleeping. Jones sold 60,000 of the sleeping bags to the Russian Army. While none of the initial versions exist today, a British museum recently re-created one from sketches and put it on display.
Sleeping bag today
As late as the 1980s, sleeping bags still primarily featured a tightly-wrapped sausage shape, designed mostly for extreme campers. There was a heavy emphasis on making sleeping bags as transportable as possible, with little attention paid to comfort. However, as more and more people began to car camp, demand for a more comfortable sleeping bag has increased.

Mummy Sleeping Bags
Mummy bags wrap tightly around the body from head to toe. This restrictive design improves heat retention. Mummy bags don't unzip all the way and are ideal for protecting the feet from cold in averse weather.

Tapered Sleeping Bags
Tapered sleeping bags are a middle ground between mummy bags and square bags. They are narrow toward the bottom, but have room toward the top for movement of the arms and shoulders. Tapered sleeping bags also take up very little space and are fairly easy to transport.
Other sleeping bag options
Outside of the main three sleeping bag shapes, campers today can also pick from a huge assortment of additional outdoor sleeping gear. Two-person sleeping bags allow you to get cozy with your significant other, while sleeping pads, cots and air mattresses provide additional comfort.
