Sierra Designs Cloud 9 35° Women's Down Mummy Sleeping Bag - Regular

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, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size

...The Vango Predator 450 is a flagship synthetic bag packed with features to make this one of the best bags proving plenty of bang, for your buck. "The Predator range of sleeping bags is designed for use at the extreme limit. Available in mummy or square.

Although this bag has the disadvantage with most synthetic bags, the size, it does hold most of the properties which... Read review

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
