There are many high-quality green products to choose from. Purchase eco-friendly camping products and help preserve the future of the environment.

Sierra Designs Eco-Friendly Sleeping Bags

Sierra Designs Eco-Friendly synthetic sleeping bags are made out of recycled and green materials. Sierra makes the Nanche 0 for men and the Winema 0 for women. Both are four-season sleeping bags rated for 0 degree Fahrenheit weather. The outer shells are made of a blend of recycled plastics that the company calls EcoSensor.
