Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Warmth
From maker's figures 3/10How cold a night you can sleep comfortably through. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Maker's EN 13537 comfort 8 °C (limit 4 °C) sits in the 5.1 to 10 °C band: summer and mild nights only.
Room inside
Estimate: only 1 review about room inside (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How much room to move, bend your knees and sleep on your side. Roomier is comfier. 8: Clearly better than most.
The one review finds it comfortable and fairly spacious for a tapered mummy. Taller sleepers may find it a little short.
Weight
From maker's figures 5/10How much it adds to your pack. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
1,232 g (without the 123 g stuff sack) is in the 1,000–1,299 g band. The Great Outdoors weighed 1,240 g.
Packed size
From maker's figures 1/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 1: A real weak point.
Maker gives ⌀36 x 18 cm, so a stuff sack: 3.1416 x 18 x 18 x 18 = 18,322 cm³, so 18.3 L, in the 13 L+ band.
In short
Good for
- Summer camps and mild spring or autumn nights where a washable synthetic bag is wanted
Strengths
- Synthetic Thermolite Ecomade fill (35% recycled) that the maker says keeps its loft when wet
- Full-length zip baffle that works well, and a draught collar that tightens evenly (The Great Outdoors)
- Left or right zip, and a 3-year Alpine Bond guarantee
Weaknesses
- EN 13537 comfort of only 8 °C (limit 4 °C), so summer and mild nights only
- Alpkit's own 'sleep limit' of 0 °C is far colder than the comfort figure; The Great Outdoors tester, a cold sleeper, called 0 °C ambitious
- Bulky for its warmth: 18.3 L as stuffed and 1,232 g
- Alpkit advises 165–180 cm for the Regular, so taller campers may find it short
- No internal pocket, and only one independent review, so comfort, damp and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
