In short
Good for
- Tall sleepers, or anyone who wants to put the sleeping mat inside the bag as well
- Fast and light spring and summer trips under a tarp, with your head out in the open
- Bikepacking and wild camping on a tight budget
Strengths
- Light at 490 g with fully taped seams
- Roomy: 235 cm long and 98 cm wide at the shoulders, with space for a bag and mat together
- Integral stuff sack and a 3 year Alpine Bond guarantee
Weaknesses
- Hood cannot be fully sealed and there is no zip, so heavy rain needs a tarp over the top
- Packs to about 4.6 L, over twice the size of the regular Hunka
- Too much spare fabric for smaller sleepers, which can feel flappy
- Only 2 independent reviews cover the XL, so condensation, comfort and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
