Two-season sleeping bags are suitable for spring and summer and are generally the lightest in weight and smallest in pack size. Can add a silk liner to add a season rating.
Three-season sleeping bags are suitable for use in the spring, summer and autumn and ideal for most camping during the British outdoors season!
Four-season sleeping bags can be used throughout the year and are extremely suitable for the cold winter conditions. Generally with the thickest insulation these are going to be the heaviest and bulkiest.

Sleeping Bags
There is a wide choice available so you need to choose your sleeping bag according to your intended use. If you are likely to be encountering freezing and unpredicatable weather then you must go for a high quality, well insulated sleeping bag. If you are just out for a nights' camping in the summer then a lighter weight, cheap sleeping bag may suffice. Sleeping bags do not give warmth but they retain the warmth of your body heat.
Most commonly available in 3 basic shapes: mummy, tapered or rectangular. Mummy shaped sleeping bags are efficient at providing the best warmth per weight ratio but are close fitting. Rectangular bags are most commonly used for general camping. Tapered bags provide more room than the mummy type and still compact down for easy portability.
Sleeping bags may be down filled or synthetic. Goose down is light and very warm but generally more expensive and difficult to dry if it gets weight. Synthetic sleeping bags are widely available, for all seasons and easy to dry if necessary.
Hollofibre - Hollofibre is a man-made synthetic fibre used to fill sleeping bags. Used in varying weights to give different thermal properties. It does not have the moulding properties of feathers but is light and quick-drying.
Pac-Tec - The Pac-tec is a range of ultra-lightweight slepping bags which have a very small packsize.
