What are the main differences between down and synthetic sleeping bags?

Down sleeping bags offer the best ratio of warmth-to-packability, making them a favourite of lightweight hikers and campers. No other material also comes close to the performance, longevity, compactness and breathability of quality down.

Synthetic sleeping bags perform better in very wet conditions than their down counterparts and are ideal for those who are looking for an economic option and won't mind a little added weight.
