Our Verdict
This stripped-down sleeping bag is a brilliant choice in warmer climates and the summer months in the UK. It’s a generous-sized bag with plenty of room to toss and turn without the bag feeling constrictive. It has a large foot box, and the zip can be opened at the bottom so you can kick your feet out of the bag, which helps regulate temperature.
The hood is stripped back, it's basically a draft collar, which is fine if the weather is good, but on cooler nights warm beanie is recommended. The hood has a simple, easy-to-adjust drawcord to cinch it down when needed.
Because the hood isn’t going to be getting in your way, you can use this bag as a quilt. You still have a dedicated toe box, but it does increase the amount of wriggle room inside the bag if you choose to do this.
