Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Warmth
From maker's figures 10/10How cold a night you can sleep comfortably through. 10: The best you can buy for this.
Alpkit publishes EN 13537 comfort -17 °C (limit -25 °C), in the -5 °C or colder band. This is the older EN test, the maker's figure and not re-tested; Alpkit itself recommends planning around its own 'AK Sleep Limit' of -15 °C.
Room inside
Estimate from maker's specs: bag shape (fewer than 3 reviews about room) 5/10How much room to move, bend your knees and sleep on your side. Roomier is comfier. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
No review we found says how roomy it is, so this is an estimate from the bag shape.
Weight
From maker's figures 4/10How much it adds to your pack. 4: A bit below average.
1,300 g for the Regular (125 g stuff bag extra) sits in the 1,300-1,699 g band.
Packed size
From maker's figures 1/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 1: A real weak point.
Alpkit gives 37 cm across x 25 cm long, so a cylinder: 3.1416 x 18.5 x 18.5 x 25 = 26,880 cm3, 26.9 L, in the 13 L+ band.
What reviewers say (out of 10)
Ratings marked * are from reviews and are not part of the trip score. They are reviewers' scores, not our own measurements. How we score
Comfort to sleep in*
Estimate: only 1 review about comfort to sleep in (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How comfy the shape, hood and fabric feel; not the temperature rating.
1 review on comfort to sleep in, e.g. "So comfortable and can tell it is well made.".
In short
Good for
- Scottish winter and high-altitude camps where a -17 °C comfort rating (the maker's EN figure) matters
Strengths
- Very warm on paper: maker's EN 13537 comfort -17 °C and limit -25 °C
- 800 g of 750 fill power DownTek hydrophobic goose down, RDS certified, in 13 box-wall baffles that stop the down shifting
- Tapered mummy cut with a neck baffle, zip baffle, adjustable hood and an internal pocket
Weaknesses
- 1,300 g and about 26.9 L in its stuff sack: heavy and bulky for its size, though Alpkit's EN figure is a cold one
- The -17 °C figure is from the older EN 13537 test, and Alpkit's own recommended limit is -15 °C
- A snug fit: the one owner video found the Regular tight at 1.70 m, and Alpkit sizes it for 1.60-1.75 m
- Only 21 customer reviews and no independent hands-on test of the current bag found, so Damp, Comfort and Durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Alpkit is the only UK shop we found selling it
