YETI VIB 400 SLEEPING BAG £440

One of the most inconvenient things about sleeping bags is how much space they take up in a pack. Thanks to its quality goosedown fill, the Yeti (now part of Nordisk) VIB 400 packs down pleasingly small and weighs just 830g. It has a comfort rating of 2°C and a comfort limit of -3°C. I’ve used the VIB in every season outside of winter, occasionally pairing it with a fleece liner for early spring use – and had many a good night’s sleep in it.

VERDICT The only sleeping bag I need for most of the year. USED BY Ben Weeks, Trail senior writer USED FOR 3 years
