Pros & cons

• Lab-tested ISO 23537 comfort +3 °C / limit -1 °C at a sub-£60 street price
• DofE Recommended, with a full-length two-way zip and insulated zip and shoulder baffles (Vango specs)
• At 1.34 kg it is about 260 g lighter than Vango's Nitestar Alpha 250
• No independent editorial review of the Mantis 300 found; pros are from the maker's specs
• Out of stock on Vango's own site at check; retailer stock is patchy
