Unrivalled performance - the most compact, lightest weight and greatest protection from any of the sleeping bags we supply. Comfort down to beyond -12 C (4 season). Using the best goose down available, latest technical fabrics and advanced design, this bag is for cyclists, backpackers and alpinists who need the lowest imaginable pack weight and bulk but still want a decent night's sleep. The Pertex Quantum Endurance shell is a barrier against water, wind and snow yet highly breathable. Full length double zip.

Slightly bulkier than the 400 but that extra down will keep you warm at -5C. This sleeping bag will keep you warm when it's freezing yet weighs less than a kilo and packs tiny enough for even the smallest rucksack side pocket. In warmer climates it can be unzipped and used as a summer duvet.

For all round performance and value for money we highly recommend the Rab Atlas 1000 - an excellent true 4 season bag that knocks the spots off many sleeping bags from other well known reputable makers. Ideal for everything from Himalayan treks to desert nights. Features box wall construction, full length double zip, cowl hood and shoulder baffle with drawcords, neck, shoulder and zip baffles and a box foot.

The first thing I'd pack? Well it would have to be my Vapour Rise Top and Pants.
They keep me warm and comfortable in such a wide range of conditions, from desert chill to a wet afternoon. Worn so often that it's a good job they wash easily and dry so quickly. The outer Pertex Equilibrium fabric is windproof, water resistant and highly breathable and the micro-fleece lining provides a soft, high wicking fabric that keeps your body warm and dry.

Made from Pertex Quantum windproof breathable fabric, this windtop is ultra lightweight (70 g). With low bulk lycra cuffs and hem, it all stows away into an internal pocket (slightly bigger than a credit card!) for when the wind stops blowing. Very effective performance from such a lightweight shell. N.B not a waterproof!
