<p>I'm looking to purchase a camping sleeping bag. I'd like one that's high-quality, durable, and suitable for weekend hiking/camping trips during spring, summer, and fall in New England. (Most of my trips will be hiking with a backpack rather than driving to a campsite.) What factors should I consider when investing in a sleeping bag?</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Given that the temperature varies so much in New England, what should
I look for in terms of temperature rating?</p></li>
<li><p>Does having a camping pad underneath the sleeping bag affect what I<br>
should look for in a sleeping bag?</p></li>
<li><p>What type of material should I look for?</p></li>
<li><p>Does the shape matter in terms of performance, or do some shapes just
provide less bulk so they're easier to pack/carry?</p></li>
</ul>
