I'm looking for a travel sleeping bag that takes up MINIMAL space, yet is cheap and warm.
Anyone got some experience of what is good? The best one I can seem to find which also came recommended was a Snugpak TravelPak Lite or Traveller (not sure what the difference is other than price. http://shop.packyourbags.com/acatalo...lpak_Lite.html This particular sleeping bag is rated down to 7c or 2c at its lowest........yet shrinks down to a tiny 12cm x 14cm which is bairly 1ltr of storage space. Yet just £30 Anyone know of anything that competes with that? ![]() ![]()

I've got the Snugpak Softie Kestrel, they are very good sleeping bags, and mine packs down pretty small too. Well made, as well,
One thing- I looked at that one tto, but a good few reviews mentioned that it was really best for warm places, ie not Scotland in winter. Of course that depends where you are going. |

If you want something warm (which really means comfort rated to 0 deg C or below), and small, it'll be pure down filled, which means it won't be cheap.
What are you going to be using the bag for? In what seasons, and what kind of climates? Do you like to be sweating in bed, or do you have the windows open all through winter and still sleep naked on top of the duvet??? |

youll gt an insulated infaltable roll mat that will wrap up not much bigger than the bag youve shown, all the cold comes from the ground, really is worth the cost / space
