A closer look
The mummy-shape reduces the chance of cold spots by removing any dead space, and the alpha insulation keeps you warm during the night. The lightweight and extra warm Alpha insulation is evenly spaced by the horizontal stitching and the insulated, adjustable shoulder baffle retains heat within the sleeping bag.

Two-way, auto-lock left-hand zip allows for ease of getting in and out and doubles up as ventilation for when things get too warm. An internal pocket keeps essentials safe or head torches to hand, and this bag comes with its own 4-strap compression stuff sack.
