The majority of snowshoers in the world aren’t taking overnight trips into the backcountry. But it’s always nice to have a cold-weather sleeping bag on hand for the right situation – especially on a hut-to-hut trip. High Peak’s Mt. Rainier Sleeping Bag offers a waterproof, windproof solution for the snowshoer requiring a minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit rating.
I recently put Mountain Hardwear’s Wraith SL -20 sleeping bag to a hard test on a two-week trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Although an experienced tent-dweller, I run very cold, especially when sleeping. As such, I spent a great deal of time planning my cold weather strategies for the late fall conditions I would encounter in the Himalayas. I needn’t have worried.
Nothing is better during a long day of snowshoeing on a cold day than taking a break and enjoying a hot drink or meal on the trail.
