Pros & cons

  • 'a very warm and extremely well made sleeping bag'; expansion panel 'gives a little extra room to turn over'
  • Synthetic fill keeps insulating when damp and is far cheaper than down winter bags
  • Military-grade build: reinforced foot, boots-on use, anti-snag zip tape
  • Heavy and bulky at 2.4 kg / 32 x 26 cm packed compared with down rivals
  • Temperature ratings are Snugpak's own, not EN/ISO tested
