Full details
The Outdoor Revolution Sun Star Single 300 DL Sleeping Bag is designed for family campers in the UK and Europe seeking comfort from early spring to mid-autumn. Its standout benefit is the generous space offered, especially in the foot area, providing a more relaxed sleep than restrictive mummy bags. A potential consideration is its heavier weight, making it best suited for car camping or sites with easy access. Key features include a cowl hood, dual-zip system for adjustability, and a soft-touch polyester construction for warmth and durability.

FAQs
What temperature is this sleeping bag suitable for?
The Sun Star Single 300 DL is a heavier weight bag suitable for temperatures from early Spring through to mid-Autumn in the UK and Europe. It provides warmth for cooler nights but can be ventilated for milder conditions.
Can I zip two of these sleeping bags together?
Yes, the bag is available in left and right-hand zip models. If you purchase one of each, they can be easily joined to create a generous king-size double bag.
How do I clean the sleeping bag?
Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth. For a full wash, use a large-capacity front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cool water and a specialized synthetic wash. Always dry thoroughly.
Is this sleeping bag good for summer camping?
It can be used in summer, especially for cooler evenings or locations. The double zip at the base allows for extra airflow, which helps regulate temperature on warmer nights.
What is the main advantage of the square shape?
The square shape, along with extra room in the foot area, provides significantly more space and freedom of movement compared to mummy-style bags, leading to a more comfortable night's sleep.
How should I store the sleeping bag when not in use?
It is best to store the sleeping bag loosely in a breathable sack or its original stuff sack (not tightly compressed) in a dry place to maintain the loft and integrity of the insulation.
What material is the sleeping bag made from?
The outer shell is made from soft micro polyester, and the lining is brushed embossed 190T polyester, designed for warmth and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if it continues to stick.
Sleeping bag feels damp or clammy
This can indicate residual moisture. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storage. On warmer nights, unzip the base for ventilation to prevent condensation buildup inside the bag.
Reduced loft or insulation performance
Over time, insulation can compress. Try washing and thoroughly tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation and restore its loft.
Difficulty zipping two bags together
Ensure you have a left-zip and a right-zip model. Align the zips carefully and start zipping from the bottom or top, ensuring no fabric is caught.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers significant extra room for comfort, especially in the foot area.
- Can be zipped together with another bag to form a double.
- Suitable for a wide range of seasons (Spring to Autumn) due to its insulation.
- Soft lining and outer shell material enhance sleeping comfort.
- Adjustable cowl hood provides extra warmth and protection.
Cons
- Heavier weight may not be ideal for backpacking or long-distance carrying.
- The 'heavier weight' designation suggests it might be too warm for peak summer heatwaves.
- Dual zip models mean you need to purchase two specific bags to join them.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the sleeping bag and allow it to loft for a few minutes. For joining two bags, align the zips on the left and right-hand models and carefully connect them along their full length. Ensure the base zip is adjusted to your comfort level.
Compatibility: This sleeping bag is designed to zip together with another Outdoor Revolution Sun Star Single 300 DL sleeping bag. Ensure you purchase one left-zip model and one right-zip model if you intend to create a double bag.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a full wash, use a large-capacity front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cool water and a specialized synthetic wash. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help restore loft. Alternatively, air dry flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its original stuff sack or a large breathable cotton bag. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can damage the insulation.
