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 sleepingbag. 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...

At around 2.5 kg it is slightly heavy for a sleepingbag, considering my...

Advantages: Warm, designed specifically with children in mind, extendable Disadvantages: The toggles get in the way!
...We were going camping and taking the children for the first time. So we looked at kitting them out so that they would be comfortable and warm. One of the most important items, if you’re sleeping outside, is a sleepingbag. There’s nothing more miserable than being cold and uncomfortable, especially if you’re a child. Being cold and uncomfortable in the middle of the night when you’re sleeping in a strange environment is probably the worst of all. Even for adults. Both my husband and I have tried out various types of sleepingbag through the years and have learnt one or two things – never trust the manufacturers temperature ratings and buy the warmest bag you can afford.
To choose the right sleepingbag you have to consider several things – how warm you need it to be, where you are going to use it, whether it needs to be very...
