Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 4/10How much it adds to your pack. 4: A bit below average.
Highlander gives 950 g. That is in the 900-1,099 g band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 5/10How well the fabric keeps out heavy, long rain. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Highlander gives one figure of 5,000 HH for the AB-TEX fabric and does not split out the floor, so it is read as the figure for the whole bag. That is the 5,000-9,999 band and nothing is taken off. If the floor were counted as not published, the score would be 2.
Packed size
From maker's figures 6/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 6: A bit better than average.
Highlander gives 37 x 12 x 12 cm, a roll: 3.1416 x 6 x 6 x 37 = 4,184 cm³, about 4.2 L, in the 4-5.9 L band.
