Product Customer Reviews
very good bag... warm, practical
For what I spent it's more than good.
Very good value for money for this sleeping bag, equivalent in some other brands to sleeping bags at 120€. I have used it often for 2 years and it does not wear out. The only downside is that I used it during a mountain trek during a night at -4°C and I was very cold. Also, it would be great to make a size for people who are 1m60 because because it is too big for me, the air gets in despite the elastic tightening, and a pocket of cold is created in the void at the bottom
Very poor quality
The sleeping bag proved its worth at temperatures close to 0°C. For a warm synthetic sleeping bag, it doesn't take up that much space.
This sleeping bag is a pleasant surprise, especially when bivouacking, as it maintains the internal temperature very well and its water-repellent outer fabric prevents nighttime dew from penetrating the bag. A very good sleeping bag if temperatures do not drop below 5 degrees.
After more than a year of use I can say that this sleeping bag declared 0ºC has greatly disappointed my expectations. It does not resist the wind, sleeping in a tent with the wind outside means freezing (August at 1900m). It is useful if the outside temperature does not drop below 12ºC and there is no wind. Be careful of humidity. If you sleep in a humid area you will wake up with a soaked sleeping bag!!!! A piece of advice, spend a little more and buy a quality product.
great features
Used by my wife to sleep in a tent at 8 degrees. Easy to transport because it takes up little space. Quick storage by folding or packing. Very good quality materials. Even if it does the job, I find the price a little high.
Perfect for the scout campus. My 8 year old was not cold despite a temperature of 05 degrees at night
It didn't meet my expectations... I had a 5-degree sleeping bag from another brand and I wanted to change it and have one that would allow me to sleep comfortably in lower temperatures. (I usually bivouac or sleep in a shelter at any time of the year) This one leaves a lot to be desired... it is easy to put it in its bag and the design is very well done, but I think it is worth spending a little more and getting a better one.
Optimal!
I have used this sleeping bag several times for bivouacs. I find that it is not practical to store and even at 0°C I was cold. Apart from that it is a good sleeping bag, the quality/price ratio is justified.
Perfect
An excellent and very practical sleeping bag for the winter season.

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.
Some advice to consider before you get 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.

We use 2 layers of overlapping wadding: - One of 115 g/sqm, 100% polyester,- and one of 150 g/sqm, 100% polyester.The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable.Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight.It retains its warmth even when wet.

Product testing
All our sleeping bags undergo mechanical tests that test the performance and resistance of the sleeping bag to guarantee better sleep and recuperation (thermal resistance, resistance to abrasion, comfort, etc). We also carry out many tests in the field, in real conditions.
Storage instructions
You can easily store your bag by stuffing it loosely into its cover, feet section first. To keep it fluffed up & ensure good thermal performance, remove from its cover, extend, store it in a dry place.
