Gelert X-Treme Lite 800

£35.00

LFTO rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 4

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.

Verdict: A well-priced option for summer backpacking.

Weight: 800g

Packed size: 36x15cm

    well i am 5ft 11in and can sit up ok in mine.. personally i like a bag with a top zipmainly due to me sleeping on my side. have bought the x-lite 600 and 800 at best the 800 is a warm weather bag, but combine it with the 600 + silk liner + rab bivy and you have a 4 season setup which is a great way to go ... there is no need to have a 4 season bag, in my view layers work much better and are often cheaper than buying an all in one. summer use gelert 600 maybe add the liner if a bit cold. anyway the 800 really could do with a wind baffle ... but hey who is moaning for a couple of quid you can make and insert your own ... good quality mid range products wp gelert !
