Mountain Hardwear® Big Bang -15° 600-fill Down Mummy Sleeping Bag - Long

Mountain Hardwear Lamina 0

Advantages: Very warm, great colour, comfortable & simple
Disadvantages: slightly heavy

The orange glow of this sleeping bag kept us warm on the Northern Ice cap, south Patagonia. Our expedition took us through mozzie ridden temperate forest; snow and then onto the icecap itself. For a period of 6 weeks, this bag proved infallible. Having been snowed in for a long period on the icecap, warmth was paramount. The Lamina remained warm even after becoming saturated with tent condensate. The neck baffle system worked a treat; it was simple and easy to use. The chunky zips were ideal to open, even with gloved hands, and over the 6 week duration the zips didn't 'catch' once. If you're looking for a hard core synthetic sleeping bag then this definatley gets my seal of approval; if the icecap wasn't enough it's also stood up to some wet & windy wild camping in the UK lake district. ...

Review of Mountain Hardwear Lamina 0° Mummy Sleeping Bag Regular

Snug and warm

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

The baffle design throughout the bag is good at eliminating cold spots and ensure a good nights sleep in even very cold areas. ...

Review of Mountain Hardwear Piute 20° Down Mummy Sleeping Bag - Long

Grobag baby sleeping bags are fantastic!

Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges
Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!

The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night. Grobags are baby sleeping bags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt. So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc. The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves ...
