K-Way Zermatt 950 Eco Sleeping bag

The K-Way Zermatt 950 Eco bag is a lightweight sleeping bag suitable for hiking in good weather. “The French” has the same bag, and complained that she was cold in it in mild weather in the Cederberg. I called her a p***y. I am willing to eat my words after spending a night “chilling” in Montagu…

K-Way Zermatt 950 Eco

The bag is officially rated as: -5°C Extreme / 0°C Comfort. I have just returned from the Asics X-Treme Trail Run in Montagu. The first night I was awoken by the cold, and still in my Zermatt bag, climbed into my old Benedorm bag (which may be old and bulky, but you could roast a leg of lamb in it)! I slept like this the rest of the morning, and the next night. When I finally got out of the tent on the second morning, the sun had just risen, and my car registered an air temperature of 6.5°C. Heaven help the person stuck in this bag at anything below 8°C!

The bag weighs in at 950g, and has a synthetic filling. It has a cowl with a drawstring, and the full length zipper has a baffle. The Large is 220cm long, with a width of 82cm at the shoulders that tapers to 56cm at the feet, giving a snug fit.

My verdict: a great bag for hiking in mild weather, but I will be looking for something warmer for the winter months.
