Hi, thanks for the tips! I did used the tips of foam mat upon inflatable, wool-polar cover on my head and polar neck. Completely game changer!!!! Thanks!! Now, I just got the best sleeping bag I could (Argentina, importation is almost blocked, we don't get anything decent). It is supposed to be a 6C confort, -15 C extreme., mixed synthetic, with some down on top, 900 gr. First night, 5C terrible condensation. Inside the bag. Second test, 7C degrees, 95 % humidity (Buenos aires) big the issue is condensation INSIDE the bag, that woke me up. Inside and outside material of the bag is made out of polyester. I must say also, my tent has no vent, a lot of moisture on fly of the tent, but mesh double wall so the rain fly does not touch the sleeping area, and water just goes to the ground. I never had those issues with my old 35 y.o. sleeping bags. Is it me? The bag? What's wrong? Is this what happens with all new designs of sleeping bag? I would appreciate your help a lot!

Thank you for the great content! I always appreciate your videos (and books!). Have you experienced any issues with moisture escaping a sleeping bag with a GoreTex wind stopper fabric? I have the -40 Phantom from Mountain Hardwear but I haven't needed to dry anything yet more than slightly damp. I have definitely found a lot of ice covering my sleeping bag in the morning though. Always looking for new ways to deal with moisture and ice in my tent and on everything in it!
Here are some hopefully helpful thoughts on a vapor barrier for a bag. Western Mountaineering Hot Sac VBL Review: Added Sleeping Bag Warmth Vapor Barrier Liner: ua-cam.com/video/57tEVMT2D9I/v-deo.html
Hello. I've been out som winters, coldest - 36. I got my self a robens 1200 sleeping bag. I had a lot of bags. But this one, it is like a plastic bag. Sweat and moisture seems to be trapped. No humidity outside on the sleeping bag, but a river inside the sleeping bag. Wouldn't you agree that something is wrong in this case?
@@ALinsdau It seems to me that a non-breathable liner (like a thin plastic body-bag) would be a slightly unpleasant but effective way of preventing sweat from the human inside the bag from ruining the thermal performance of the sleeping bag. OK, after a night's sleep you would perhaps resemble a boil-in-the-bag meal that wouldn't be nice to be down-wind of but at least hypothermia from a duff sleeping bag would't be on your list of problems even if a lack of friends was. A more elegant solution might be a small counter-flow heat exchanger capable of efficient, substantially loss-free ventilation of the sleeping bag at about 5 litres/minute. I estimate a pair of 20mm fans drawing about 100 milliWatts total might achieve this with an exchanger body of only about 500 ml total volume. Personally, I like the "body-bag" solution better - less to go wrong and I'm a loaner anyway.
Let's assume i don't have to dry my clothes, but i also don't have the opportunity to air out my bag over a long period of time due to overcast weather/high air humidity. Will i lose a lit of loft due to my own body moisture, if i use for instance the GWS fabric? Can i get away with it over say a 1-2 week period?

I'm wondering if you sleep warmer at night if you eat a stick of butter before bed. Maybe you'll run at 120 Watts and really dry everything out!

What’s your view on vapor barrier clothing or bag liner?
@Joe mikeska, Aaron has a video posted on vapor barrier bags.
Here are some hopefully helpful thoughts on a vapor barrier for a bag.

No humidity outside on the sleeping bag, but a river inside the sleeping bag. Wouldn't you agree that something is wrong in this case?
Perhaps the inner fabric isn't breathable? That'd be like sleeping in a VBL inside a sleeping bag - only when desperately needed. Stay warm!
