Frequently Asked Questions
It is the combination of gear that keeps you warm and rested at night: a sleeping pad that insulates you from the ground, a sleeping bag or quilt, a pillow and, if you like, a liner. Each part matters. A warm bag on a thin summer pad still leaves you cold, because the ground draws heat out of you.
As a rough guide, choose under 2 for summer, 2 to 4 for three-season walking, 4 to 6 for frosty nights and above 6 for snow. R-values add up, so a closed-cell foam pad under an air pad adds warmth. Cold sleepers should go one step higher.
It is optional. A liner keeps body oil and sweat off the inside of your sleeping bag, so the bag needs washing less often, and on a hot night you can sleep in the liner alone. Our XTM Dreamliner is 100% cotton and weighs 220 g.
How to build a sleep system
• Pad: match the R-value to the coldest night. As a rough guide: under 2 for summer, 2 to 4 for three seasons, 4 to 6 for frost, and above that for snow. ShopHow to build a sleep system
• Pad: match the R-value to the coldest night. As a rough guide: under 2 for summer, 2 to 4 for three seasons, 4 to 6 for frost, and above that for snow. Shop sleeping pads.
• Bag or quilt: buy on the ISO comfort rating, the temperature a cold sleeper stays warm through the night. Down packs smaller for hiking; synthetic costs less and copes with damp. Shop down and hiking sleeping bags.
• Pillow: an inflatable pillow like the Nemo Fillo Elite Wide weighs 112 g and saves your neck. Shop camping pillows.
• Liner: a liner keeps the bag clean between washes and works alone on a hot night. We stock the XTM Dreamliner cotton sleeping bag liner, 220 g.
Shop by brand and use
• Nemo sleep systems: Tensor, Eclipse, Flyer and Roamer pads, Disco, Riff and Tempo bags, the Pulse quilt and Fillo pillows.
• Emergency blankets and bivvy bags: Arva and Bob Cooper gear for the night you did not plan. Not a substitute for a sleeping bag.
Sleep systems for Australian trips
Summer on the Bibbulmun or the Cape to Cape needs little more than a light pad and a quilt or liner. Winter in the Snowy Mountains or on Tasmania's Overland Track calls for a pad around R 5 and a bag rated for frost. Couples can look at the Nemo Roamer Double and Double Wide, and the Jazz double sleeping bag.
Why buy from Oz Backcountry
Free shipping Australia-wide over $150 (T&Cs apply). Arva and Bob Cooper emergency gear and most Nemo and XTM sleep gear go out from our Helensvale warehouse on the Gold Coast; Nemo Tempo bags, and any size we are out of, ship direct from the supplier, so allow a little longer.
