Schlafsack - Schlafsack (English spelling) German

A portable sleeping bag used mainly for mountain climbing. In Japan, it is simply called a sleeping bag or a sleeping bag. In English, it is called a sleeping bag. It is made by sewing cloth into a bag shape and filling it with insulation. There are cylindrical and envelope types. In the past, silk batting was sometimes used as insulation, but now feathers such as goose down and various synthetic cotton are used. Depending on the amount of insulation, they are classified as summer, winter, high altitude climbing, etc. The entrance is opened and closed with a drawstring or a zipper. There are lightweight half-body types that can be used in combination with down clothing for advanced alpinists, but they are not used often. It is effective to use a cover in addition to keep warm and waterproof, and for convenience, it can be used as sleeping equipment by itself.

Japanese:

おもに登山の際使う携帯用の寝具。日本では単にシュラフあるいは寝袋ともいう。英語ではスリーピングバッグ。布を袋状に縫って保温材を入れたもので、円筒型と封筒型があり、保温材としては以前は真綿が用いられたこともあったが、現在はグースダウンなどの羽毛や各種の合繊綿が用いられており、その量に応じて夏用や冬用、高所登山用などに区別されている。入口は口紐(くちひも)、ファスナーなどで開閉する。高度なアルピニスト向けに羽毛服と併用する半身用の軽量のものもあるが、あまり用いられていない。保温や防水のために、さらにカバーを併用すると効果的であり、簡便にはこれのみで寝具とする場合もある。
