The first thing that strikes you taking the bag from its dry bag (nice touch) is the immense loft from something so small in size. It kept filling up beyond what I thought possible. Next is the quality. It might be ultra light weight, but every element feels just right. The bag reduces grammes in several techy ways, but it's the shiny interior that stands out. Imagine a breathable cloth version of one of those emergency foil blankets they throw round marathon runners as they finish. Warmth is excellent. First time out was -8°C which is right at the edge of what RAB says is meant to be perfectly comfortable and - yes! - I'd say that was a cautious rating. The baffles and drawstrings are simple and the zip is small, but I found these all worked intelligently and was a good balance for what is a seriously featherweight bag. I'm struggling to find a negative in the bag itself. Price is expensive, but it's a RAB bag you're buying - and top of the line.
It’s a fantastic sleeping bag. I love it, love the small zipper, instead of a full lenght - it’s means I never end in a situation where the sleeping bag has come apart early in the morning and putting it together wakes me up completely. Too I love the inside collar, that means it can be used in various temperatures and winds. And the material is super nice, a cool feeling to sleep in cutting edge technology. Too the hood is perfect, it has meant I no longer bring a hat for sleeping, which I did before, also during summer. The stuff sack is fitting, and water proof, and it’s nice that it comes with a storage sack. In future I will start not not use the stuff sack to save the down. And even that I used it a lot without liner - it’s fresh still, it’s nice to the skin and warm the minute I get into it, with this bag I don’t need sleeping clothes at least not during summer. Only thing I look forward to is the official temperature rating of the sleeping bag.
I can't believe how light and yet well constructed this product is. The technology is amazing, although I am yet to try it out so I can't comment on its warmth overnight.....
Awesome quality inside and out & really warm for the weight!
Ultra light and warm as advertised, worth every penny.
