DOWN
Ounce for ounce, nothing insulates as effectively as down. Down-filled bags are very light, warm, and compressible. When cared for correctly, they will last for many years. The negative? Down is susceptible to moisture; when wet, its insulating capabilities will significantly drop. That is why some sleeping bags feature down with a hydrophobic treatment - it helps the down perform better and dry faster if it does get damp. Down is measured in fill power; it represents how much loft the down has. The higher the fill power, the better the warmth-to-weight ratio will be.
