Description:

For those wanting minimum pack-weight for mountain marathons, ultra-races, and ultralight backpacking or trekking, this is the design to choose. The lightest possible sleeping bag for use in temperatures above 4°C.

The wide opening at the hood means access is easy without the need for an entry zip (short and long zips can be added).

Cut is close fitting. Standard width: chest circle approx 152cm; waist circle approx 134cm (wide and extra-wide versions are also available).

For maximum weight saving, the base of the bag has a stitch-through construction. The top is insulated with a straight wall baffle system, the lightest of all baffle systems. The stitch-through base means that this bag, more than the others in our Design Your Own range, relies on the insulation provided by your sleeping mat.

"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 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."
