Camping

A good night’s sleep
under the stars

Sleeping outside can be a sweet escape from life’s distractions. But it can
involve plenty of its own without the right gear. Fortunately, our experts have
done their share of snoozing under the stars. Their secret? Invest in the best.

Sure, you can lay your head on a
rolled-up sweatshirt and call it good.

But a quality camping pillow can mean the difference between a
rejuvenating slumber and a restless night.

Great pillow they didn't skimp on size.

I have owned a handful of camp pillows and travel pillows over the
years. Other pillows have always left me slightly disappointed.
This pillow is great, packs down super small, and is well built.

Great camping pillow.

It is larger, which is nice. Can inflate and
deflate easily. Packs up small and light. Wish
it was a little thicker but wouldn't want to
sacrifice the weight to make it so. Big Agnes
is a fantastic company with quality products
and great customer service. Their employees
are so knowledgeable of the items they sell.

There’s only one thing between you and the cold, hard ground:

Your quality of sleep depends on it.

“Having an insulated pad that
packs down to the size of a
Nalgene bottle is pretty
amazing.”

I've used my Tensor Insulated Pad from sleeping
in a wigwam in Connecticut to camping around
Colorado. Having an insulated pad that packs
down to the size of a Nalgene bottle is pretty
amazing. I did some section hiking on the
Appalachian Trail in Connecticut one October and
it was so nice to have the extra warmth
underneath me all the while not taking up excess
space in my pack. The Tensor Insulated Pad packs
a lot of punch into a small size and gives you four
seasons of camping comfort.

Weight. Warmth. Sleeping style. Packing
preference.

With all this and more to consider, choosing a sleeping bag can be a
challenge. Good thing our experts have suggestions.

Kelty Cosmic Down 20 is my go-to

I own, well...more than one Kelty Cosmic Down 20. I use it
for car camping all year. I carried in in my backpack in the
Sierras, Rockies, Smokies, Shenandoah, Appalachians,
Alleghenies and in my pannier bikepacking through PA,
WV and the Everglades. I've owned (and still do)
numerous bags from various brand-name manufacturers
but the Kelty Cosmic Down 20 is my go-to. And for the
price, it's just crazy not to.

The most comfortable mummy bag I've ever owned

I have pretty wide shoulders and didn't feel restricted at all in this bag. I also love
the bag flexing wider at the feet—great idea. I'll normally switch between back
and side sleeping during the night and I was able to do that easily in this bag.

other ideas, earplugs are a must.

Earplugs are super handy to block out
surrounding noise of other campsites nearby, your family trying
to fall asleep or the sounds of nature that may not be relaxing to you.
