Product Information
Full details
The Vango Cadair 250 Sleeping Bag in Atlantic is designed for campers seeking a reliable and comfortable mummy-shaped sleeping bag without a high price tag. Its key benefit lies in its efficient thermal design and durable construction, ensuring warmth even in damp conditions. A potential caveat is that for extreme cold weather, a bag with a lower temperature rating might be more suitable. This sleeping bag features a single-layer stitch construction for even fill distribution, a soft 190T brushed polyester lining, and a tapered mummy shape for improved heat retention and reduced pack size.

FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for the Vango Cadair 250?
The Cadair 250 is generally recommended for three-season use, suitable for mild to cool conditions. For specific temperature ratings, consult the product's technical specifications or packaging, as comfort levels can vary individually.
Can I machine wash the Vango Cadair 250?
It is recommended to hand wash the Vango Cadair 250 with a mild detergent. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the insulation and fabric.
How should I store the sleeping bag when not in use?
For long-term storage, it is best to store the sleeping bag loosely in a large, breathable bag rather than compressed in its stuffsack. This helps maintain the loft and insulating properties of the fill.
What does 'mummy shape' mean for a sleeping bag?
A mummy shape tapers from the shoulders down to the feet. This design minimizes internal air space, improving heat retention and reducing the overall pack size and weight compared to rectangular sleeping bags.
Will the insulation still work if the bag gets damp?
Yes, the siliconeised hollow fibre insulation is designed to retain warmth even in damp conditions. However, it is always best to keep your sleeping bag as dry as possible for optimal performance and longevity.
Is there a warranty on this sleeping bag?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to your proof of purchase and the Vango website or retailer for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to close or snags.
Ensure the anti-catch piping is positioned correctly. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth as you close it. Check for any debris caught in the zipper track.
Sleeping bag feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the hood is cinched snugly around your head. Check that the shoulder baffle and zip baffle are properly adjusted. Consider using a sleeping bag liner or wearing appropriate thermal base layers. Ensure the bag has fully lofted after being stored.
Material feels rough against the skin.
The brushed polyester lining is designed for durability and may feel slightly stiff initially. With use and gentle washing, the fabric should soften. Ensure no rough external elements have come into contact with the inner lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Vango Cadair 250 requires no specific setup beyond unrolling it and allowing the insulation to loft. It comes with a colour-coordinated stuffsack for easy packing. Simply place the sleeping bag loosely into the stuffsack and then roll it tightly, expelling air as you go. For maximum loft and warmth, it is recommended to air the sleeping bag out for a few hours after unpacking it from its stuffsack before first use or after a long period in storage.
Compatibility: This sleeping bag is designed for use in temperate to cool conditions. It is compatible with standard sleeping mats for added comfort and insulation from the ground. For use in colder climates or winter conditions, consider pairing it with a sleeping bag liner or choosing a bag with a lower temperature rating.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Vango Cadair 250:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid dry cleaning as it can damage the insulation.
- Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its stuffsack or, ideally, in a large breathable storage bag. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods, as this can permanently reduce the loft and insulating properties of the hollow fibre fill.
- Drying: Ensure the sleeping bag is completely dry before storing it. Dampness can lead to mildew and damage the fabric and insulation.
