I needed to buy a new sleeping bag for a winter camping trip. So, I went to a camping store and
compared three different brands of sleeping bags: Ultra comfort, snowy down, and northern trek. I
wanted to look at each sleeping bag very carefully. For winter camping, the snowy down had the
highest rating. But in some ways, the other two sleeping bags were better. Of the three sleeping
bags, the snowy down was the warmest, but it was also the most expensive. The northern trek cost
less than the snowy down, but it was just as expensive as the ultra comfort. The ultra comfort was
warmer than the northern trek. Finally, the ultra comfort was lighter than the other sleeping bags, so
it was easier to carry. I decided not to get the northern trek for camping outside. It wasn’t as warm as
the other sleeping bags. But we were having a mild winter, so I didn’t need the warmest kind of
sleeping bag. So I looked more closely at the lightest sleeping bag, the ultra comfort. That’s the one
I chose.
