Thank you, Road_Hog

Yes,you are right. Package means tent with bags. so, I've bought outwell contour xl sleeping bag as well.

BUT, here is another question.
Does Isofil really work? thickness are almost same both outwell and argos one.

Many thanks.


There is no hard and fast rule with comparing the filling, as manufacturers always play about with the figures. However, the sleeping bags that come a spart of a kit, are always thin and are one season only (summer). I know, my fist tent cames with the same sort of stuff. You get in them at say 11/12 at night and they might be quite warm, but come say 3/4 in the morning, you're feeling the chill.

The sleeping bag you have bought is a 2/3 season one, so it will be much warmer. Don't throw the only sleeping bags away, they can always be used as quilts or as an inner for your new bag if it gets really cold.

What you sleep on makes a difference. If you have an airbed as part of your kit, then it needs something underneath it just to insulate it from the ground, otherwise the air in it absorbs the cold.
