DISSAPOINTING

Very cofortable with the DS system, really liked that, you cna move around in it lots, its a nice soft inner fabric too which adds to the comfort.

Its insuation properties aent really what they make it out to be, I was camping one night in it i na tent, on a good thermorest mat, wearing a very thick fleece, a smaller fleece, a down jacket, a fleece liner, and a thermal top, and a buff over m head, with the nck baffle and with the ead space reall tightened up an I was only jsut warm enough to be comfortable, though earing all that stuff it wasnt allthat comfy, I could hardly breathe! Bear in mind the temperture was around 1-3 degrees. Which is eant to be in the comfort zone

Would be excellent for summer conditions, but I would deffo not recomment it for anything cooler.

VASTLY OVER-RATED PIECE OF M.E. KIT

The TDS system is nice. I can make the morning cuppa while sitting in the bag.
Good baffle - but then it needs it.

Clammy feel to inner fabric.
Zip snags all the time.
On the long side - I'm not.
Cold.
Filling doesn't last long, and then it's even colder.

This bag was chosen because of the TDS system and the keen price. Unfortunately, it was never as warm as it was claimed to be and this led to many a night when I couldn't sleep for shivering - and I was within their 'comfort' rating.

After 2-3 years I gave up with it completely and I now use another bag with a similar claimed comfort rating and it's WAY too hot.

Don't believe the people who say that anything by M.E. is fantastic - this is a cheap-ish bag with a cheap performance.

Did I mention the awful clamminess of the fabric and the snagging zip??

QUILTY BAG - WARM.

TDS
Does keep you Warm.

Not as Warm as i wanted to use it in the Winter,Although there Is a Solution.

FLEECE LINERS(At Least 2 or 3 to make it a 4 season) :-D.
(Which will make it a 4 season without Refunding the BAG)

I Have Used this Bag (Tested it) I Wore Nothing but Leggins and No Top in Conditions like 5-8c(Very Mild Coldish Conditions - Not Winter Like) and it Kept me Warm enough to Go to Sleep Really.

NOT AS WARM AS IT SAID

Like the elasticated leg section. Being such a fidget when I sleep,it has improved my sleep quality.

Don't believe the comfort rating. Use it in mild conditions

Clever design but not as warm as other bags I have used. I now use the Sleepwalker 3 because I like the design. This is a much warmer bag, so i now sleep soundly.

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT

TDS systems improves tent life, has stood up to 10 months of continous use well

Hood can irritate around the zip area, especially when partially undone. Wasn't -10 when new.

I've used this bag for 10 months continously and its stood up well. It wasn't as warm as rated when new and this has degreaded with time. But out lasted the tent, boots and stove. Compresses well for the price, try a air compression bag rather than the supplied one.
