Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Microlite 500 Sleeping Bag is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort in mildly chilly to cold conditions. Its mummy shape and polyester lining offer a cozy sleep, while features like a two-way zip and inner pocket enhance usability. A key caveat is that the 'extreme temperature' rating is for survival only, and users should rely on the comfort temperature for practical use. This bag is ideal for trekking and traveling due to its lightweight and compact design.

FAQs

What is the comfort temperature for this sleeping bag?

The comfort temperature for the Microlite 500 is 10°C (50°F). This is the minimum temperature the bag is designed to keep you comfortable in.

What does the extreme temperature rating mean?

The extreme temperature rating (-6°C for this model) is a survival rating only for a standard adult woman. It is not advisable to rely on this for general use, as it indicates the temperature at which hypothermia is a risk.

Can I zip two Microlite 500 sleeping bags together?

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

What are the packed dimensions?

The packed dimensions are 14cm x 35cm.

What is the weight of the sleeping bag?

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

How should I clean the sleeping bag?

It is best to spot clean with a damp cloth. For a full wash, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and air dry completely. Always check the care label for specific instructions.

What is the maximum user height for the regular length?

The regular length is suitable for users up to 180cm (5'9").

Troubleshooting

Zipper gets stuck

Gently try to free the fabric caught in the zipper. If it persists, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.

Sleeping bag feels less warm than expected

Ensure the mummy hood is drawn snugly around your head and the drawstring is tightened. Check that the bag has fully lofted. Remember personal body temperature and external conditions play a role; consult the comfort temperature rating for guidance.

Bag smells musty

The bag needs airing out. Dry it thoroughly in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Difficulty zipping two bags together

Ensure you have one bag with a left-hand zip and one with a right-hand zip. Align the zippers precisely before attempting to connect them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good warmth for spring and autumn camping.
  • Mummy shape enhances comfort and heat retention.
  • Convenient two-way zip for ventilation control.
  • Integrated inner pocket for securing small items.
  • Lightweight and packable, ideal for travel and trekking.
  • Option to zip two bags together for a double setup.

Cons

  • Extreme temperature rating is for survival only and not for comfort.
  • May not be warm enough for very cold winter conditions.
  • Regular length is suitable only up to 180cm (5'9").
  • While durable, extensive rough use may still cause wear.
  • Requires purchasing two specific bags (left/right zip) for double configuration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack the sleeping bag and allow it to loft fully before use. If zipping two bags together, align the zippers carefully and connect them. Ensure you have one bag with a left-hand zip and one with a right-hand zip for compatibility.

Compatibility: This bag is designed for use with standard sleeping mats. It can be zipped together with another Microlite 500 of the opposite zip direction to form a double sleeping bag.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth for minor stains. For a full wash, follow the care label instructions, typically hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the bag is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its stuff sack or a larger breathable bag. Avoid long-term storage compressed in a tight stuff sack, as this can reduce loft and insulation over time.
