Solo camping takes a particular mindset. More likely than not, you’re either out pursuing a Thoreauian type of transcendence or hell-bent on some objective where company could serve as a hindrance to success. For the most part though, the enjoyment of camping is best shared. That can be hindered by the self-sufficient nature of gear though, especially when it comes to sleeping bags. Most bag makers have caught on to the fact that couples who share a bed at home also want to share one in the wilderness, and for that, there are two-person sleeping bags, three of which are on sale at Backcountry.
Two-person, tandem, double or double-wide sleeping bags are no different from their solitary counterparts — they use the same lightweight materials, the same synthetic or down filling. Some come with functional features like sleeping pad integration while others incorporate a more homey feel via blanket-like folds; all of them make camping for fun for couples (and parents too).
Below are three great options for two-person sleeping bags, with temperature ratings that will be comfortable through spring, summer and fall and discounts ranging up to 36 percent off.
Big Creek Double 30 Degree Sleeping Bag by Big Agnes $250 $175
Mavericks Double Wide 30 Sleeping Bag by Marmot $199 $149
