Mountain Equipment Starlight Micro Synthetic Sleeping Bag

An excellent synthetic bag offering improved performance and reliable warmth. A sleeping bag that can cope with unpredictable conditions.

Mountain Equipment says:

The perfect travel bag with a small pack-size and low weight.

Mountain Equipment use their own 'Good Nights Sleep Guaranteed' rating which they believe is a more accurate number for some sleeping bags and is based not just on the EN test results but on lab testing, their own use, thermal imaging and cold chamber work, along with a lot of data analysis. The figure above is what they consider to be the lowest temperature that you will be comfortable at when using this bag.

Mountain Equipment's Starlight Micro Synthetic Sleeping Bag has been recently updated and now has a lower weight and better packsize than previous iterations. The hood has been re-shaped to fit better than previous models and the footbox has also undergone a redesign to increase comfort.

People choose synthetic bags over down for the protection against moisture damage, the Starlight will be great for summer camps under minimalist shelters or even under the stars without the worry about sudden showers damaging your sleeping bag.
