hey guys
i was just wondering how to pick a good sleeping bag. I know everyone has thier own prefrences but what is the rule of thumb for buying one.

Should i have gotten a hooded one? I just bought a sleeping bag, and its a "4" but it doesn't have a hood.

It all depends on what you're using it for. Like really cold weather? and how tall you are...

If it's going to be really cold weather then I do recommend a hood cause waking to find your sleeping bag around you're waist in 0 celcius SUCKS! :thumbdown:

i'm 5 foot tall. I want an all purpose bag which could be used for outside and inside.
the bag i bought today is warm till 0 c, but it doesn't have a hood.
