Pros & cons

  • Rated by ME to -23 °C at under 1.5 kg, its lightest expedition-class bag
  • WINDSTOPPER 10D shell and liner shed spindrift and tent condensation better than plain nylon
  • Expedition fit leaves room for down clothing, boot liners and wet kit in the footbox
  • No ISO comfort or limit figures, only ME's own Good Night's Sleep rating
  • Far too warm for most UK nights: a niche bag for Alps-in-winter, Arctic or high-altitude trips
