M-TAC sleeping bag with compression sack

M-TAC sleeping bag with compression sack

M-TAC sleeping bag with compression sack is a three-season hooded sleeping bag for camping, hiking and overnights in the field. A temperature range from -5 to +5 C means it can be used from early spring to late autumn, not just in summer. The compression sack in the kit lets you squeeze the sleeping bag to a size that fits in a backpack or attaches to the outside.

Key features

• Temperature range -5 / +5 C - one sleeping bag for three seasons

• Double-layer hollowfibre 150 g/m2 - even warmth without excess weight

• 100 % ripstop nylon outer - a tear resistant fabric that doesn't rip further when snagged

• 100 % polyester lining - a smooth surface that dries quickly

• Dimensions 230 x 80 x 60 cm - enough room for a taller adult too

• Product weight 1800 g - a realistic weight for a hike with a backpack

• Hood with a drawcord - on a cold night you can wrap the head up almost completely

Warmth for three seasons
The sleeping bag is warmed by a double-layer hollowfibre filling with a density of 150 g/m2. The layers are arranged so there are no cold seam lines between them, which is where heat usually escapes. The manufacturer's stated temperature range from -5 to +5 C covers both cool summer nights and frosts in spring and autumn.

Two-way zip
The zip has two sliders, so the sleeping bag can be unzipped from both the top and the bottom. On a warmer night it's enough to open it at the feet and the temperature inside drops at once, with no need to get out. At the top a protective flap covers the zip, stopping wind blowing straight through the line of teeth.

Adjustable hood
A drawcord with a toggle is sewn into the hood. Pull it and you can reduce the opening until only your face is left outside. It's a simple way to adapt to the weather: on a warm night the hood stays loose, on a cold one it's drawn closed and keeps much of the heat that usually escapes through the head.

Compression sack included
The sleeping bag is sold together with a compression sack. Once you stuff the sleeping bag in and tighten the straps, the pack volume drops sharply and the backpack has room left for other items. You don't need to buy a compression sack separately.

Who the M-TAC sleeping bag is for

• Those camping in spring and autumn, when nights drop to zero

• Hikers who need a sleeping bag that compresses to a compact size

• Anglers and hunters sleeping in a tent or under a tarp

• Taller users: the 230 cm length is enough without cramping

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for winter? No. The manufacturer's stated lower limit is -5 C, so real winter nights call for a warmer model. For three seasons it is more than enough.

What size does it compress to? The manufacturer doesn't state a specific compressed volume, but the compression sack with straps in the kit lets you reduce the volume until the sleeping bag fits a hiking backpack.

The M-TAC sleeping bag with a compression sack is a simple and reliable choice for those who need one sleeping bag for most of the season, not three different models.
