Vango Nitestar Alpha 250 Sleeping Bag - Forest Green

The Vango Nitestar Alpha 250 Sleeping Bag is a 3-season mummy sleeping bag with Insulite Alpha insulation, a listed 2°C comfort rating and a total product weight of 1.65kg. It is listed as DofE Recommended Kit, making it an option to consider for camping and expedition trips when it meets your group's requirements and the expected conditions.

After a day on the trail, the soft Polair lining and shaped adjustable hood help you settle in for the night. The tapered mummy shape, shoulder baffle and insulated zip baffle help retain warmth, while the two-way zip gives you adjustable ventilation when you need it.

Key features and benefits

• Insulite Alpha insulation: designed to provide loft and warmth while compressing for transport.
• Polair Hex shell: tough, breathable hexagonal ripstop polyester.
• Soft Polair lining: hardwearing polyester with a comfortable feel.
• Off-set double-layer construction: staggered seams help reduce cold spots along stitching lines.
• Adjustable 3D hood and shoulder baffle: help reduce heat loss around your head and shoulders.
• Left-hand two-way auto-lock zip: allows ventilation adjustment, with anti-catch piping to help reduce snagging.
• Internal pocket: keeps small essentials close to hand.
• Hanging loops: help you air and dry the bag after use.

Choosing it for your trip

Check the forecast overnight temperature, your sleeping mat's insulation and your own sleeping preferences. The extreme rating is not a normal camping or comfort temperature, and the season label alone does not guarantee suitability for every UK camping trip. For DofE expeditions, confirm your group's current kit requirements before ordering.
