WOMEN’S WINTER SLEEPING BAGS

TESTING CONDITIONS

Kirsty is 154cm tall and size 8, and usually sleeps fairly warm. She’s usually a side or front sleeper, so she looks for bags with room for her knees and elbows. These sleeping bags were tested in the Scottish Highlands through last winter and this autumn season, in both cold and wet conditions. They were weighed on Kirsty’s home scales.

This down bag from Sea to Summit is well thought out and a dream to use. It’s comfort rated to -10 degrees Celsius, and it definitely feels that cosy. The down has an ultra-dry treatment, so should perform well after getting wet or damp. The baffles are horizontal
