Mountain Equipment Glacier 1000 (2013)

£380.00

New for 2013, this is Mountain Equipment’s prime bag for the winter hillwalker. In previous years this accolade has gone to the Snowline from the firm’s ‘Extreme’ range, but after years of service it has been rewarded with a waterproof shell and upgraded to a top-end expedition bag. Luckily, much like the Snowline, the new Glacier is an excellent all-rounder ...

Cumulus Prime 700 (2013)

£345.00

Lightweight fans note: the Cumulus Prime 700 offers an extremely impressive weight rating of 1210g and an equally attractive lower comfort rating of -18 deg C. If these numbers leave you cold, then holding the Prime 700 in your hands certainly won’t. It’s a staggeringly light piece of kit, yet it hasn’t sacrificed noticeable levels of comfort or performance to ...

Alpkit SkyeHigh 1000 (2013)

£180.00

Given the level of insulation it offers, the price tag of the Alpkit SkyeHigh 1000 is very impressive – this is a great-value bag. Alpkit is a UK-based firm that keeps its costs down by selling directly to the consumer via its website. This also means you can choose the length and zip-side of your bag as you order it online. ...

Crux Torpedo 900 (2013)

£800.00

Made for ‘Himalayan climbing from 6000 to high-7000 metre peaks’, the Crux Torpedo 900 is a truly high-spec piece of kit. Not that it’s exclusively for use just below the death zone; its high level of waterproofing (via a tough 2-layer eVent outer) makes it ideal for more extreme British activities, such as snowholing or bivvying where high levels of ...

Rab Ascent 900 (2013)

£250.00

Rab is a brand that commands great customer loyalty, and the Ascent 900 is a perfect example of its quality. Using efficient down insulation it offers an excellent lower comfort rating of -19 deg C (outperforming other similarly priced bags), and all at a decent weight of 1700g: very impressive when you consider the price tag. Comfort levels are excellent, ...

Cumulus Ultralight 350 (2012)

£195.00

The Cumulus Ultralight 350 has a stripped-down ‘fast and light design’ that’s aimed at reducing pack weight and bulk. The commonly used trapezoidal baffle design is obvious on this model as the external stitch lines show the alternating narrow and wide faces of the baffles down the length of the bag. There is a full-length double-ended zip with an internal ...

The North Face Gold Kazoo (2012)

£180.00

The budget price of the The North Face Gold Kazoo doesn’t mean there’s a lack of features or performance. The bag lofts (fluffs up) very well when unpacked and it has trapezoidal baffles to help stabilise the down fill. Unusually the bag also has Climashield synthetic insulation pads on the base where your body comes into contact with your sleep ...

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 (2012)

£300.00

The Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 is a light bag that compresses down very well for packing, but it still manages to be warm. Its low bulk comes from a mix of good-quality down fill and a shell made of incredibly light fabric, which at just 15 denier is the finest in our test. The bag has a two-way full-length zip ...

Mountain Equipment Xero 350 (2012)

£280.00

The Mountain Equipment Xero 350 is an interesting mix of traditional progressive features. The bag has an EXL lining, which means that the inner seams are elastic and hug your body to help eliminate cold spots in the bag. These seams feel quite pronounced if you run a hand over them, but in use I quickly got accustomed to them ...

Rab Neutrino Endurance (2012)

£225.00

The Rab Neutrino Endurance takes inspiration from both adventure racing and mountaineering, which look for performance at minimum weight. The top half of the bag has regular trapezoidal baffles, which loft (fluff up) well; but the back has varying amounts of insulation, from very little under your torso to well-insulated around the foot. The idea is to save weight where ...

Mammut Sphere Alpine Spring (2012)

£270.00

The Mammut Sphere Alpine Spring is the lightest bag in our test at just 622g but it still manages a -1 deg C rating. It does feel light and soft and is very compressible with its high-quality down fill and a lightweight shell fabric making it very small in your rucksack. Some of the overall weight is cut from the ...

Marmot Hydrogen (2012)

£330.00

The Marmot Hydrogen has had a lot of work put into its design, and it shows in the detail. Hidden inside the high-lofting (fluffable) body, the baffles have stretch, allowing the inner and outer to move independently. This maximises down loft and minimises strain and therefore wear and tear on the shell fabric and stitching. The double-ended zip is full-length ...
