Deer Hunter vs. Bridger: What Are the Key Differences Between These Sleeping Bags?Updated 7 months ago

The main difference between the Deer Hunter model and the Bridger line is the expanded options and a new zipper design. The Bridger line provides expanded temperature ratings, more size options, and additional functionality, such as the L-zip design, which allows the sleeping bag to open up as a camp blanket. These enhancements make the Bridger sleeping bags more versatile and adaptable for a variety of outdoor adventures.
