Gelert X-Treme Lite 800

£35.00

This synthetic sleeping bag from Gelert is only 800g, much less than many competitors, and also rather short. It doesn’t have a shoulder baffle, so is really only warm enough for summer or two-season use, but it has a nice hood with a drawcord closure. The soft feel of the nylon shell is good, too.

At 1469g (without stuffsack), this 3-season synthetic sleeping bag is a very lightweight option and at £70 it is also well-priced.

Wynnster Down 450

£80.00

A low-bulk sleeping bag from Wynnster that provides surprising warmth, making it ideal for three-season use. The hood and the chunky shoulder baffle were impressive, with stud and drawcord fastening. The shell fabric feels a little flimsy, but the water-repellent finish does its job well. It’s quite long, which will suit taller campers.

Aztec Summit 1

£90.00

This sleeping bag from Aztec is light and low-bulk, but not as warm as some. Despite this, the hood is very cosy and the shoulder baffle works well to trap warmth. The plastic feel of the shell isn’t great, but the NiteGlow zip pulls are very useful in the dark!

Vango Supernova 5000 2010

£90.00

The steam from my mug of morning tea drifted up through the unzipped doorway of my tent. The sun was rising over a perfect wild camping morning. When everything goes well, there is nothing more idyllic than waking from a good sleep high on the mountains. The problem is that the weatherman’s forecast is never that reliable. Knowing how much ...
