Pros & cons

  • 'well-priced and affordable' with 'mid-range performance across all metrics'
  • 'packs down very small' thanks to a good compression sack
  • Roomy cut suits side-sleepers; RDS recycled down and PFC-free DWR
  • 'the comfort temperature rating is a little disappointing' for a full winter bag
  • hardware 'feels a little basic and cheap'; 650FP down is not hydrophobic
