Vango Latitude Pro 300 Sleeping Bag, 3-4 Season Sleeping Bag, Part Of The DofE Recommended Kit List, Camping Equipment

Product Information

The Latitude 400 is filled with Insulite® Helix which combines a mixture of hollow and multi-channel fibres. This material channels moisture away through tiny fibres, which works to keep the heat in and moisture out.

There are other features that you may want to consider when buying a sleeping bag, which I haven’t gone into in the below guide. These are: The more specific sleeping bag temperature rating tells you exactly how the bag is expected to perform. Each sleeping bag will be sold with three temperatures: the comfort rating, limit and extreme. When someone says a sleeping bag "goes down" to a certain temperature, they're talking about comfort rating. If the temperature outside your sleeping bag only goes down as far as your comfort rating temperature, you'll be nice and snuggly all night. If the temperature goes below the comfort rating, you'll start to lose heat from the sleeping bag. It was time to retreat into the tent and put the Latitude 400 sleeping bag and Vango Trek sleeping mat, to the test! Vango latitude pro 400 review: Comfort Outer Fabric – The material used on the outside of the sleeping bag. Something water-resistant and durable would make a good choice here.

UPDATE: I’ve since tried the sleeping bag with the sleeping mat on snow again and I was very, very toasty! How big is the Latitude 400 bag? Thermal Embrace System – Elasticated thread sewn into the inner fabric. Makes the sleeping bag gently conform close to the body. Reduces cold spots and increases loft of insulation. In terms of sleeping bag vs quilt, some people do swear by quilts for camping. They're especially good if you're a side sleeper and find that you're constantly fighting with the hood on a standard sleeping bag. But they only cover you on one side, so you'll need a warmer sleeping mat - and some way to make sure you don't get draughts around the edges.

There’s so much information available online when we’re shopping now, that it’s easy to find lots of detail about products like Vango Latitude Pro 300 Sleeping Bag. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.

There are other things you can do to help keep yourself warm when camping, which I cover in this guide. Features New 50D 300T Polyester Inner Lining Fabric – New polyester lining fabric which is breathable and soft, ensuring warmth and maximum comfort. The extreme temperature rating is the level at which the sleeping bag can help you survive in an extreme weather situation. I have not listed these in this guide as they are not commonly provided by the manufacturer and in reality, should not be used as a guide for buying a sleeping bag when wild camping. Without being your personal shopper, it's hard to tell exactly which sleeping bag you need. We'd want to know all about you and which adventure you're going on. Plus how tall you are and how often you think you'll use your sleeping bag. And what for and where...

The hood of the sleeping bag was slightly smaller than I thought it’d be but actually, this was great. Sometimes big hoods leave me feeling a little claustrophobic. When wild camping, an important factor to consider when choosing a sleeping bag is the weight, as you will likely be carrying this with a lot of other wild camping gear. There are some other factors to think about too, though. Before you go around hugging every sleeping bag in the shop, trying to rate it on snuggle factor. Your aim is to get a sleeping bag that fits you well: snugly, without too much (or too little) space between you and the inside of the sleeping bag. You want some space, because it's by heating the air inside that you stay warm - just like with layers of clothing. But, if there are too many gaps, say a large space at the bottom because the bag is too long for your height, you'll struggle to keep the sleeping bag warm enough. It's your body doing the work after all and the bag acts as insulation. So pay attention to lengths and sizing. Most sleeping bags come in small, medium and large, or at least regular and long.I’d say that the sleeping bag did seem a bit tight around my hips but this also helped to keep warmth in and it was easy enough to move around in. Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Vango are of course extremely well known, especially for Mummy Shape. That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Vango Latitude Pro 300 Sleeping Bag below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget. New Trilateral Construction – An independent floating layer of insulation which is not compressed by stitching, reducing cold spots and increasing the core temperature. The Vango Latitude 400 is the warmest in the available range of Latitude bags from Vango. The Vango latitude 400, is a 4-season sleeping bag with the lowest recommended temperature at -11 Celcius and warmest at +15 Celcius.

The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Mummy Shape. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this. Choosing the right sleeping bag can make all the difference to how well you sleep and enjoy your next wild camping trip. I personally can’t stand waking up feeling cold at night and will happily spend a bit more money on a warmer sleeping bag to ensure I have a good night’s sleep. Up on our snowy mountain, top temperatures dipped below zero and as we were sleeping on metres of snow the ground felt very cold. The sleeping bag was having to work extra hard to keep me warm. Whilst I wasn’t shivering, I wouldn’t say I was as warm as I’d expected (apart from my feet which were surprising since they’re usually always cold!). But, I think the issue was more that my body was trying to warm the snow up beneath me than anything else. These tyoes of sleeping bags are generally cheaper than down sleeping bags, as the insulation materials is much easier and cheaper to source.

Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option.
