This bag is roomy and warn, while it packs small and light. The included storage sack and stuff sacks are perfect. Quality with every stick as expected with Rab products.

So far, so good!
I’ve just returned from our first wild camping trip with this bag and I couldn’t be happier! This is my first, shall we say higher quality, sleeping bag that I’ve bought after regularly camping for over ten years. I have only tested in temperatures down to 3degrees so far but I was lovely and warm the whole night. A great lightweight and packable sleeping bag that I did not want to get out of in the mornings! I’m not sure how many feathers I should be losing daily as this is my first down sleeping bag but it does seem like quite a lot? I’ve had mixed feedback from others who use down sleeping bags whether this is normal or not too so I’m not sure if it should be that many or not. In addition I just wish the bag came with some compression straps for when you need to pack it down even smaller for your bag. Other than that I am very happy. Hoping to continue use into autumn/winter, possibly adding an additional quilt or blanket to keep going in the lower temperatures.

Ordered the extra long sleeping
Ordered the extra long sleeping bag for my 6f5in grandson heading off on his first DoE camping trip. Despite bad weather in Peak District, he was always warm enough and snug enough, so good job done there!
