ALPS Mountaineering Genesis Sleeping Bag
Best spacious sleeping option for casual car camping enthusiasts.
This semi-rectangular bag strikes a smart balance between the roominess of a rectangle and the thermal efficiency of a mummy. While it lacks the ultralight weight of high-end technical gear, the recycled synthetic insulation and clever dual-zipper ventilation make it a reliable, eco-conscious workhorse for three-season camping.
