Good sleeping bag

I recommend this bag which takes up little space but two drawbacks, it does not keep warm enough for 15 ° C, you have to have an extra layer on you. And another drawback it makes a little noise when you move in the bag and the material rubs. Nevertheless I recommend it overall a good product because it takes up little space in a bag.

Great camping sleeping bag

My husband and I bought it for all kinds of trekking/hiking trips, as a sleeping bag for sleeping in shelters. After tightening with straps, it is very small and relatively light. It also works great for short car trips, when we fold down the back seats and make a bedroom out of the trunk. I think it is worth considering that this is rather a sleeping bag for sleeping in temperatures of around 15 degrees and warmer, but if you dress well, it will also work at lower temperatures. Combining sleeping bags into one large shared sleeping bag also works very well. Generally, we recommend it. My husband and I have been using these sleeping bags for almost a year (February 2024), and I am writing this review after buying another two for my parents :)

What is the temperature rating?

All our sleeping bags display the temperature ratings, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX), in accordance with the European standard NF ISO 23537 - 1:2022. The comfort temperature rating is the lower limit at which the user in relaxed posture is generally in thermal equilibrium and feels neither too cold nor too hot (for a standard woman in normal conditions of use). Choose your sleeping bag according to this criterion.

What is the temperature rating (lower limit at which you feel comfortable)?

The comfort limit temperature is the temperature limit at which a person curled up in the sleeping bag is in general thermal equilibrium, neither too cold nor too hot (determined for a man in normal conditions of use).We recommend using an insulation mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.

An important clarification concerning the iso 23537-1 standard

In the context of this standard, the measurement protocol of a sleeping bag’s thermal protection uses a mattress with thermal resistance equal to an R-value of 4.8.This means that by using a less insulating mattress, the thermal performance of your sleeping bag will be lower.We therefore recommend you use an insulating mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.

Tips before getting into your bag

Dress simply (1 layer of clothing is enough). Warm-up your extremities: hats, gloves, socks, hand/feet warmers, rubdowns, etc. A flask of hot water can be used as a hot water bottle (as long as there's no chance of it accidentally opening!) Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but do it without moving as this could create a draught. Use a bag liner to optimise warmth and avoid washing your sleeping bag too frequently.
