Product description
Comfort: 1°C (34°F)
Limit: -5°C (24°F)
Extreme: -22°C (-8°F)
The Ascent 500 is a versatile bag with a comfortable, wide mummy fit. Filled with 500g of 650FP goose down and with space for wearing additional layers if needed, this bag can be used in cool temperatures. Ideal for two season use and spring conditions similar to those in the UK, New Zealand or Scandinavia.
The women’s specific shape is slightly shorter in length, narrower at the shoulders, and wider at the hips than the regular fit bag for improved efficiency. The Ascent is built with a lightweight and durable, recycled Pertex® Quantum outer fabric and recycled nylon lining. It has trapezoid shaped, boxwall baffles that stack neatly together, encouraging the hydrophobic duck down inside to loft fully and reducing the appearance of cold spots. Hand-filled in the UK, all our down bags benefit from never having had their down compressed before use, maintaining the down’s loft and warmth.
The generous mummy fit with wide foot box provide a spacious feel for an easy night’s sleep, and the close-fitting neck baffle keeps the heat in when the temperature drops. It has a ¾ length main zip with a down filled baffle to keep out the draught.
Practicalities are taken care of with an internal zipped stash pocket that easily fits a phone or a headlamp, a cotton storage sack and a compression stuff sack to ensure a manageable pack size and protection on the road. Exploring with a partner or want extra space? Pick up a left and a right zipped bag and you can zip them together.

— Show originalGot it for my wife to use, but I haven't heard any complaints about the sleeping bag other than the color.| Overall rating |
— Show originalGood sleeping bag, enough space for legs. I liked that there is no "mummy model". The only downside is that when sleeping in a hammock, it gets cold already at temperatures of +6 to +7 degrees, even though the description talks about the optimal temperature around +1 degrees. Sure, adding a sleeping pad would certainly eliminate the problem, even if it makes it a little trickier to be in the hammock. However, I am happy with my purchase. However, if you are looking for a sleeping bag to sleep in a hammock, then I would buy a winter sleeping bag directly. — Show originalLight, warm and compact.Brand
