The Mountain Warehouse Microlite 500 Sleeping Bag is designed for campers seeking comfort in mildly chilly to cold outdoor conditions during spring, summer, and autumn. Its key benefit is providing a soft, cozy, and secure sleeping experience with practical features like a two-way zip and an inner pocket. A key consideration is that personal temperature sensitivity can vary, so always factor in your own comfort level when choosing a sleeping bag.

The Microlite 500 is rated as a Season 2/3 bag. It is suitable for mildly chilly to cold temperatures, with a comfort temperature range of 7°C to 11°C. The extreme temperature rating of -6°C is a survival threshold, not a comfort guide.
It is best to hand wash the sleeping bag in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
The comfort range is 7°C-11°C. While the extreme rating is -6°C, this is a survival guide for a standard adult woman. It is not advisable to rely on this rating for general use, and you would likely be very cold below 7°C without additional insulation.
The packed dimensions of the Microlite 500 sleeping bag are approximately 14cm x 35cm.
The sleeping bag weighs 1kg.
The mummy shape is designed to follow your body's contours, providing a closer fit. This reduces the amount of air inside the bag that needs to be heated, leading to a warmer and cozier night's sleep.
The inner pocket is a small, secure compartment inside the sleeping bag designed to keep your essential valuables, such as a phone, keys, or wallet, close to you and safe while you sleep.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Ensure the zip is fully closed and the hood is adjusted properly. Consider wearing warmer sleepwear or using a sleeping bag liner. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the bag's comfort range (7°C-11°C).
Allow the bag more time to expand after unpacking. Gently shake it to help the insulation fibers separate.
Ensure items stored in the inner pocket are dry before placing them there. Moisture can transfer from the contents to the pocket lining.
Setup:
Unpack the sleeping bag and allow it to loft for a few minutes before use. Insert yourself into the bag and zip it up using the two-way zip. For maximum warmth, ensure the hood is snug around your head.
Compatibility:
This sleeping bag is designed for use with standard sleeping mats. Its mummy shape is optimized for individual use. It is generally compatible with most tent environments.
