FAQs

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

The comfort temperature (7°C - 11°C) is the minimum temperature at which the bag is designed to keep an average adult comfortable. The extreme temperature (-6°C) is a survival rating only for a standard adult woman and is not advisable for general use as it indicates a risk of hypothermia.

Can I use this sleeping bag in freezing temperatures?

The comfort range is 7°C to 11°C. While the extreme rating is -6°C, this is a survival limit. For consistent comfort in freezing temperatures, a bag with a lower comfort rating is recommended.

How do I wash my Microlite 500 sleeping bag?

Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild technical gear soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry completely; do not machine dry.

What does 'mummy shaped' mean for a sleeping bag?

A mummy-shaped sleeping bag is contoured to follow the shape of your body, narrowing at the feet and widening at the shoulders. This design helps to trap heat more effectively and provides a cozier fit.

Is the nylon shell waterproof?

The product information specifies a nylon shell, but does not indicate it is waterproof. It offers protection against light moisture but is not designed for heavy rain.

What is the weight of the sleeping bag?

The Mountain Warehouse Microlite 500 Sleeping Bag weighs 1kg.

How small does it pack down?

The packed dimensions are 14cm in width and 35cm in length.

Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold

Ensure the mummy hood is tightened around your face. Check that the zip is fully closed. Consider wearing a thermal base layer or hat. Remember personal preference for temperature varies.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track if it remains stiff.

Sleeping bag smells musty

The bag may not be completely dry. Air it out thoroughly in a well-ventilated space. If necessary, wash according to care instructions and ensure it dries completely before storing.

Inner pocket is too small

The inner pocket is designed for small essentials like keys or a credit card. Larger items like smartphones may not fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for multiple seasons (2/3)
  • Comfortable mummy shape for better warmth
  • Practical features like a two-way zip and inner pocket
  • Relatively lightweight at 1kg
  • Compact when packed

Cons

  • Extreme temperature rating is for survival only, not reliable for general use
  • Comfort range might be too warm for summer nights or too cool for deep winter
  • Polyester lining may be less breathable than other materials for some users
  • Packed dimensions, while compact, may still be bulky for minimalist backpackers

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Unpack the sleeping bag and allow it to expand fully before use. For optimal warmth, ensure the mummy hood is snug around your head.

Compatibility: This sleeping bag is designed for general camping and backpacking use. It is compatible with standard sleeping mats. It is not designed for extreme mountaineering or arctic conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth. For a full wash, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild soap specifically designed for technical outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Never machine dry. Air dry the sleeping bag completely. Hang it over a clothesline or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  3. Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its original stuff sack or a large mesh bag. Avoid long-term compression storage, as this can damage the insulation and reduce its loft and thermal efficiency.
