Product Customer Reviews
Generally very warm and great to be able to double up with another bag for my partner. We do also like to use an inner bag liner that's cotton to help add extra warmth too.
Unoptimal sleeping quality, feels warm enough during the night but in the morning packing this back into the cover sleeve is a nightmare while camping, sitting in a tent, impossible to repack until you spend an hour. Took it once to camping, not again. This goes return.
I was lucky enough to buy an almost brand new one of these second hand, and what a fantastic product. So, so comfortable. It’s also lovely and warm but somehow also very breathable so you don’t swelter. Really top quality product.
Again, bought as a present for my son. It's amazing. Does what it says on the box!! Great buy.
good for winter
Most definitely yes.
warm and comfortable
What a bargain!
What a bargain!
very nice!
Good product
Perfect product as per expectations.
I really like it. It's comfortable to sleep in during the winter. If the temperature is around 10 degrees, it's a bit warm. I'll just unzip it. It's a bit long for a fat person like me, but the width is OK.
I used this sleeping bag many times during trips to the Tatras and Switzerland. Once after waking up I noticed frost on the sleeping bag. I didn't know it was so cold outside :)

What is the temperature rating?
All our sleeping bags display the temperature ratings, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX), in accordance with the European standard NF ISO 23537 - 1:2022. The comfort temperature rating is the lower limit at which the user in relaxed posture is generally in thermal equilibrium and feels neither too cold nor too hot (for a standard woman in normal conditions of use). Choose your sleeping bag according to this criterion.
What is the temperature rating (lower limit at which you feel comfortable)?
The comfort limit temperature is the temperature limit at which a person curled up in the sleeping bag is in general thermal equilibrium, neither too cold nor too hot (determined for a man in normal conditions of use).We recommend using an insulation mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.
An important clarification concerning the iso 23537-1 standard
In the context of this standard, the measurement protocol of a sleeping bag’s thermal protection uses a mattress with thermal resistance equal to an R-value of 4.8.This means that by using a less insulating mattress, the thermal performance of your sleeping bag will be lower.We therefore recommend you use an insulating mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.
Some advice to consider before you get into your bag
Dress simply (1 layer of clothing is enough). Warm-up your extremities: hats, gloves, socks, hand/feet warmers, rubdowns, etc. A flask of hot water can be used as a hot water bottle (as long as there's no chance of it accidentally opening!) Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but do it without moving as this could create a draught. Use a bag liner to optimise warmth and avoid washing your sleeping bag too frequently.

Want to know more about the wadding?
We use 2 layers of overlapping wadding: - One of 115 g/sqm, 100% polyester,- and one of 150 g/sqm, 100% polyester.The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable.Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight.It retains its warmth even when wet.

Product testing
All our sleeping bags undergo mechanical tests that test the performance and resistance of the sleeping bag to guarantee better sleep and recuperation (thermal resistance, resistance to abrasion, comfort, etc). We also carry out many tests in the field, in real conditions.
Storage instructions
You can easily store your bag by stuffing it loosely into its cover, feet section first. To keep it fluffed up & ensure good thermal performance, remove from its cover, extend, store it in a dry place.
