FAQs

What is the difference between the comfort temperature and the extreme temperature?

The comfort temperature (10°C) is the minimum temperature at which the sleeping bag is designed to provide a comfortable night's sleep for an average user. The extreme temperature (-5°C) is a survival rating only for a standard adult woman and is not recommended for actual sleeping comfort.

Can I zip two Microlite 500 sleeping bags together?

Yes, you can zip two Microlite 500 bags together to create a double sleeping bag. You will need one bag with a right-hand zip and one with a left-hand zip.

What is the maximum user height for this sleeping bag?

The regular length measures 200cm and is suitable for users up to 180cm (5'9"). The long length measures 215cm and is suitable for users up to 195cm (6'4").

How should I wash my Microlite 500 sleeping bag?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Always air dry completely before storing.

Is this sleeping bag suitable for winter camping?

This is a 2/3 season sleeping bag, best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. It is not recommended for winter camping in freezing temperatures, as its comfort rating is 10°C.

What are the packed dimensions of the sleeping bag?

The packed dimensions are approximately 14cm x 35cm, making it compact and easy to carry.

What is the weight of the sleeping bag?

The regular length weighs approximately 0.9kg, and the long length weighs approximately 1.1kg.

Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold

Ensure the drawcord is tightened around the head to minimize heat loss. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for extra warmth or using the bag in milder temperatures closer to its comfort rating.

Zip is difficult to move

Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the slider. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or wax to the zip teeth if it remains stiff.

Sleeping bag smells after use

Air the sleeping bag out thoroughly after each use. If necessary, follow the washing instructions. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing.

Difficult to pack back into the stuff sack

Ensure the sleeping bag is completely dry. Roll it tightly from the foot end, expelling as much air as possible before stuffing it into the sack.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable for 2/3 season use, suitable for a range of spring and autumn conditions.
  • Mummy shape enhances warmth and provides a secure fit.
  • Two-way zip offers flexibility for ventilation.
  • Internal pocket adds security for small personal items.
  • Compact and lightweight, making it easy to pack for trekking and travel.

Cons

  • Extreme temperature rating (-5°C) is for survival only and not comfortable sleeping.
  • Comfort temperature of 10°C means it may not be warm enough for very cold nights.
  • Individual warmth perception can vary significantly.
  • The regular length is limited to users up to 5'9".

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Microlite 500 sleeping bag is ready to use straight out of its stuff sack. Unroll it fully and allow it to loft for a few minutes before use to maximize its insulating properties.

Compatibility:

  • This sleeping bag is designed for solo use. It can be zipped together with another Microlite 500 bag of the opposite zip-hand (one right, one left) to create a double sleeping bag.
  • The regular length is suitable for users up to 180cm (5'9"), while the long length accommodates users up to 195cm (6'4").

Care:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
  • Drying: Air dry the sleeping bag completely. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its original stuff sack or a large breathable bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term compression storage, which can degrade the insulation.
