Description:

This is the most frequently selected design when saving weight is essential. For lightweight backpacking, for mountain marathons, for self-carry trekking, or as a just-in-case backup item, this style offers the luxury of carrying a really light pack.

The wide opening at the top means access is easy, but the hood and draw cord keep you snug and warm. When customised with the minimum amount of high quality down insulation this bag can keep you comfortable at temperatures well below zero, out-performing much heavier bags. You can adjust the insulation weight and many more options once you select this style.

Cut is close fitting. Standard size: chest circle approx 152cm; waist circle approx 134cm

Despite its economical pared down design this bag style also has an insulating straight wall baffle system throughout (no straight-through stitching). Straight wall is the lightest of all baffle systems.

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new [Design-your-own] sleeping bag. I used it on the LAMM and I heard lots of people say next morning that they had been cold - and I was snuggly warm. I also had a tiny rucksack compared with my partner - thanks in large part to my ultra light (and gorgeous) sleeping bag."
—Kate O'Donoghue

"Just to say that we’ve been absolutely loving our DYO sleeping bags these past few months in New Zealand. Cannot fault them - absolutely wonderful and frankly I don't know why I would ever sleep in anything else ever again!"
—Vanessa Barnett

"Just been pointed to your website, looking for a decent sleeping bag for Aconcagua & Himalayas. Just wanted to say that i found the website in general and the design your own bag section in particular, to be fantastic. Have spent over an hour designing (& re-designing) a bag, and still trying to make my mind up, too much bloody choice ... ! Anyway, glad to see a British company making world class gear, keep up the good work."
