Sea to Summit Traverse XTII 2011

£470.00

Natural down remains the most efficient insulator for sleeping bags, but it has to be kept dry to retain its outstanding performance. While waterproof shell fabrics can be used to protect the down, these can cause condensation inside the bag, which itself can dampen the down and in turn reduce performance. Sea to Summit’s new range of down sleeping bags ...

Mountain Hardwear Lamina 20 2011

The Mountain Hardwear Lamina 20 is one of the lightest sleeping bags on test and, as a result, it packs down small in a good stuffsack. There’s a great two-way zip that doesn’t snag, and a substantial baffle alongside to eliminate cold spots. The hood is big but feels extremely cosy when pulled tight, and both on this and the ...

Mountain Equipment Starlight IV 2011

£110.00

For me, the cut of the Mountain Equipment Starlight IV was excellent, being a good compromise between spacious comfort and snugness for warmth. The Polarloft insulation lofted well, too. This meant it immediately felt warm, which is what you’d expect from so much insulation. The shark’s fin toebox is lifted from Mountain Equipment’s top-of-the-range sleeping bags and provides a contoured ...

It also comes in five different lengths, so you can get one that fits you perfectly. The Northguard Extreme insulation felt very warm very quickly, so this is one of the better bags for cold nights. It ...

£135.00

Some serious thought has gone into the Deuter Exosphere -4. It immediately feels warm and cosy, thanks to the elasticated design, which brings the insulation close to your body and eliminates cold spots. It also has extra insulation around the foot area. This means the bag feels warmer than the temperature ratings might suggest, but a good two-way zip (with ...

£90.00

There is a truly luxurious feel to the Mammut Ajungilak Tundra, a sleeping bag that offers a brilliant balance between warmth, weight and cost. The softTX inner fabric immediately makes you feel drowsy, and pulling that hood tight gives the sort of feeling that should be reserved for the spa. The hood is perfectly shaped and, in conjunction with the ...
