Product Information
Full details
The Highlander Rayet 250 Sleeping Bag is an ideal choice for backpackers and campers seeking a reliable, high-performance sleep system for three-season use. Its primary strength lies in its moisture-resistant siliconised hollow fibre insulation, which maintains thermal efficiency even in humid or damp conditions. While it offers excellent warmth-to-weight performance for cold-weather adventures, it is best suited for temperatures down to 1C, meaning it may not be appropriate for extreme winter mountaineering or sub-zero environments.

FAQs
What is the temperature rating for this bag?
The comfort rating is 6C, with a lower limit rating of 1C.
Can this bag be joined to another one?
The full-length 2-way zip allows for some versatility, but it is primarily designed as a standalone mummy bag.
How do I store the Rayet 250 long-term?
Use the built-in hanging loops to store it vertically in a dry closet. Avoid long-term storage in the compressed stuff sack, as this can degrade the loft of the insulation.
Is the material waterproof?
The outer shell is durable, but it is not a waterproof item. Always use a tent or bivy bag to keep the sleeping bag dry.
How much does the sleeping bag weigh?
The total weight of the Highlander Rayet 250 is 1.45kg.
What is the size of the bag when packed?
The packed size is 38cm x 19cm, which is small enough to fit inside most standard hiking backpacks.
Troubleshooting
Zip getting caught on fabric
Hold the inner zip guard fabric taut with one hand while operating the zip slowly with the other to prevent the slider from biting into the lining.
Sleeping bag feels cold inside
Ensure you are using an insulated sleeping mat, as the ground absorbs body heat faster than the air; also check that both the shoulder baffle and hood draw cords are tightened.
Insulation feels flat or lumpy
Shake the bag vigorously and redistribute the fibre by hand; tumble drying on a no-heat/air-only setting with tennis balls can also help restore loft.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Retains warmth effectively even when damp
- Synthetic insulation is easier to maintain than down
- Compact compression sack included for portability
- Thoughtful design with hood and baffle draw cords
- Lightweight at only 1.45kg
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme freezing temperatures below 1C
- Synthetic fill is generally bulkier than premium down alternatives
- Mummy shape can feel restrictive for those who like to move while sleeping
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sleeping bag, avoid storing it in the compression sack for long periods; once home, hang the bag using the integrated hanging loops in a cool, dry place. When cleaning, use a mild synthetic-friendly detergent and air dry thoroughly to ensure no moisture remains inside the fibres. The bag is 220cm long, providing ample space for most adults, and its 80cm shoulder width ensures a balance between thermal efficiency and comfort. Always use a sleeping mat underneath the bag to provide an insulating barrier from the cold ground.
