Ever want a good night's rest while out camping in the wild? Sure it depends on where you are, but it doesn't have to be hard to get decent outdoor sleeping. You just have to find the right gear! Outdoor gear manufacturer Therm-a-Rest launched a new line of sleeping bags to help make your next camping trip more comfortable. The company manufactures camping accessories such as mattresses for the outdoors, sleeping pads and bags, tents, camping quilts and other camping gear that one needs while living the outdoor or RV lifestyle. As an experienced mountaineer, John Burroughs, co-founder of Therm-a-Rest, knew that the thin, closed-cell foam mats of the early 70's left a giant opportunity for the creation of a mattress that offered greater comfort.
According to the company's website, By 1986, "Therm-a-Rest" had become a household name to adventurers around the world. The new "outdoor beds" come in three models that are designed to meet the needs of campers and backpackers venturing out in just about any season, providing a good night’s sleep in a wide variety of conditions. Kraig Becker, a writer for Digital Trends, relates in his article: "Perhaps the most versatile of the new sleeping bags is the Space Cowboy, which is designed for outings that take place from late spring into early fall. This bag is rated for use in temperatures down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, but it can be paired with the Corus HD Quilt to add extra warmth and comfort." Therefore, the Space Cowboy consists of a nice level of versatility, making it the only sleeping bag you need for most outings, but extending its use into other seasons without the need to own a second bag. The bag puts the majority of the insulation around the torso where warmth is needed the post, with less eraLoft around the legs. The result is a bag that is amongst the lightest in its class, tipping the scales at just 1 pound, 3 ounces for the regular model. The second new sleeping bag in the Therm-a-Rest line-up is the Parsec, which is designed for use in colder weather, alpine settings, or on ultralight backpacking trips. Finally, Therm-a-Rest also introduced camping gear designed for use on winter camping trips and mountaineering expeditions called the Oberon sleeping bag.
