Sleep systems

UK Camp – 3 Season: System 1

Carry a real minimalist bag, but sleep warm by linking it to the superlight Wafer clothing. The Wafers will keep you warm around camp, then boost your bag's performance at night.

Description:

This system is designed for UK summer camping. The Ultra is a great summer bag down to night-time temperatures around 8°C. But we all know that we take a risk when we include May, June and September as ‘summer’ months. This System takes care of those cooler nights by adding the Wafer gear to provide a welcome boost in performance to +3°C.

Review relates to Minim Ultra K Sleeping Bag

"This is the smallest-packing, quality down sleeping bag I've seen. It fits into a jacket pocket. I've been as warm in this as I have been in bags twice the weight."
Trail Magazine.

Review relates to Wafer Down Jacket

"Amazingly light … packs down into a tiny ball. It's very comfortable to wear. I took the Wafer on the Scottish Watershed and loved it on chilly nights."
TGO Magazine's Gear Editor, Chris Townsend. Read Chris' full review.

Review relates to Wafer Down Trousers

"I wore my wafer trousers for three days non stop … never climbed in such horrific weather and conditions."
Jon Griffith climbing Link Sar, Pakistan.
