Sleeping bags for cold weather
Budget pick
Our cold weather budget pick is the FIT NATION Viking Trek 4 Season Sleeping Bag. It is perfect for adults and kids alike, whether you are going to a festival, hiking, or backpacking. It is a high-quality festival sleeping bag full of extra features and nice finishing touches.
The good:
- Completely waterproof, including the carry bag! It will prevent you from getting soaked when arriving at a festival and whilst sleeping there.
- Rated comfortable down to 8°C and a limit at 3°C. This is more than low enough for a UK summer festival.
- Suitable for extreme use down to -11°C but I doubt you will experience that in the UK summer…
- Perfect for kids and adults.
- A great price tag for what you get!
The bad:
- The built-in pillow as part of the hood leaves a lot to be desired. If you like head support we would recommend getting a separate pillow.
- The zip + general construction could be better. It will last you a number of festivals, but not as many as higher-priced sleeping bags.

Glamping pick
Our cold weather glampers pick is the Hyke & Byke Katahdin 15 Fill Power Hydrophobic Sleeping bag. It is super light but will keep you warm down to temperatures as far as -10°C. It will last you for many, many, festivals to come.

- Made from very durable ripstop nylon fabric, meaning it should last for many festivals to come.

Sleeping bags for hot weather
Budget pick
Our budget hot weather pick is the SWTMERRY – Sleeping Bag 4 Seasons. This sleeping bag is great for all seasons, but we want to call it out as being great for warm temperatures.
The good:
- Rated comfortable between 10-20℃, which is great for those warmer temperatures or if you are wanting to sleep in your tent during the day at a UK festival.
- Good build quality for the price tag!
- Super lightweight, with a nice carry case. Making it easy to take to and from festivals.
- The sleeping bag and carry case is made of water-resistant.

- It can be difficult to put the sleeping bag back into the carry case.

The good

- Fairs well in the winter too as it’s rated down to 0℃.
- Machine washable which is a big plus if you are going to be using it again and again.

- High-quality product from a good brand name that should last you for many festivals and hiking trips to come.
The bad
- Again, the carry case is pretty small meaning getting it back in the case can be hard.
