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.

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 ...

The top bag sleeping system has been tried and tested many times as a way to reduce weight and bulk. The idea came from sleeping bag designers.
