Kelty Light Year 25° Ultralight Down Mummy Sleeping Bag Long

Advantages: Warm, designed specifically with children in mind, extendable
Disadvantages: The toggles get in the way!

...the bag increases from 1.25m to 1.6m in length. The inside of the bag is dark green and the outer is navy blue and red. There is a two-way zip on each side of the bag so that it can be opened out and folded down like a quilt – handy for nappy changing!! Ajungilak do say that the bag can be used in a pram or pushchair. It also has all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a good quality mummy design sleeping bag, baffles, drawstrings, Velcro fasteners, extra filling round the feet and no coldspots. The outer is Micro-Lite Tex, a ripstop nylon especially made for Ajungilak, the filling is Terraloft (a type of hollowfibre) and the inner is polycotton. Altogether it weighs about 1500g and comes in it’s own stuff sac. The Little Viking can be machine washed at 60 degrees with a third of your usual detergent, rinsed 5 times, spun... Read review

Advantages: Warm, light, confortable
Disadvantages: No shoulder/neck baffle, zip can snag at times.

...The Piute (also availble; woman\'s Piute) is a warm and cozy sleeping bag. Its price is a reflection of its quality and appears reasonable compared to other bags of similar specifictions. Its lightweight design is very useful for back packing or anytime that space is at a premium. It comes with a small stuff sack that it fits into neatly, although could be compressed further (not recomended for down bags, especially not for longer periods of time). The hood offers superb protection from the cold although it could possibly benefit from a second draw string baffle around the neck.shoulders area. However the drawstring around the top of the hood to enclose around the face is confortable and good at keeping the heat in whist allowing freedom of movement. When using this bag i (very) occasionally have a little trouble with the zip... Read review

Advantages: Warm, light, packs down well
Disadvantages: None really

...Let start with the basics, I bought this virtually blind, seeing what looked good on web sites. and i bought a peach. It does exactly what it says on the tin (or bag). It is very light indeed packs down to the size of a rugby ball, It keeps me perfectly warm to just above freezing and i have bought a fleece liner which take me down to about 0. people without as much meant on their bnes as me might find they get colder a little earlier. I have droped this in a river and within 6 hours of it being hung off my ruksac and hiking around it was perfectly dry, a 15-20 degree heat in a pleasent April day. I have a slight rip in the interior, not sure how it occured, but easily stiched up, probably not the fault of the quality of the bag. the lining does not move around . You will need a good quality roll mat as it is very thin the the cold... Read review
