What sleeping bag temperature should you bring?
We would recommend the Summer sleeping bag at SLA however depending on your child, use this guide to help.
+5 to +10 degree - Summer Bag: It is roughly as warm as sleeping with a sheet or light blanket over you on your bed at home.
0-degree sleeping bag - Autumn/Spring Bag this degree bag is a great all-rounder but won’t keep you warm in the snow or frosty night – it’s about the same as having a regular doona on your bed at home.
-5 to -10 degree sleeping bag - Winter Bag - this degree bag is considered a winter bag for typical Australian climates – it should be similar to having flannelette sheets and an extra blanket or 2 on your bed at home.
