Fill determines the insulation of the sleeping bag by determining the space occupied by the material fill in cubic inches. The more fill, the greater the sleeping bag’s insulation and weight.
Construction ensures that the distribution of insulation is uniform in the entire sleeping bag.
Resilience is the ability of the sleeping bag to easily loft or fluff to its shape and to compress with ease when placing it back into its sack.
Comfort is very important for girls’ sleeping bags or for any sleeping bags.
