We use only feather sleeping bags that are suitable up to minus 16°C. This means you do not need to be worry about cold as temparature at night at each trek reaches just up to 0°C (maximum -5°C)!! How we choose our sleeping bag? There are 3 important points that we keep in mind when we choose our sleeping bags : 

• The temperature range: it is the temperature at which the sleeping will provide a thermal support in the place that is camping. Some important questions to ask are: where will we go? Regularly in what climate or temperature does camping ?. 
• The weight: The weight in the camping equipment is an important variable, since depending on the activity, you will need to load the weight of the equipment, and the lighter will be more convenient. 
• The volume of packaging: The volume is also important because when the sleeping is very compact, it will allow to save space in the backpack, taking advantage of the extra space for other things. 

Therm - A - Rest Mattresses:

We provide with inflatable mattresses of the brand Therm-A-Rest. The mattresses are 3 cm heigh that will ensure you a sufficient isolation from the cold earth! Our therm Mattresses are durable, confortable and lightweight. They do not absorb moisture and there is no risk of puncturing it.

They offer good insulation, are easy to inflate and can be adjusted to the degree of comfort. They have a very compact volume of transport, can adjust to taste the degree of padding and to have a greater thickness irregularities of the terrain are not major problem.
