    Musuc bag Lite- finally tested.

    I bought the Musuc bag lite a while ago and finally had a chance to test it.

    Overnight in a hammock on Friday on the Wales meet up with morning frost on the tents. Used in conjunction with a snugpack under-blanket and found despite the 2 degrees temperature I was very comfortable. (I am not a particularly warm sleeper and did wonder if I should have gone for the standard version). I could move around much better than I do in a sleeping bag and getting in and out of the hammock was simplicity itself, not struggling with zips in the hammock.
    Pros -
    Comfortable to wear.
    Easy to put on, just like a onesy .
    Fits with no tight or loose areas
    The hands can be slipped out through the velcro-closed mitt end easily.
    Can move or walk around in it (so night time relief is easy), but I would guess if you bumped into anyone in the dark it could have a laxative effect on them
    small pack size.
    Price
    Delivery from Germany was cheap and fast
    Cons.
    None really
    Slippery in the hammock nylon -on - nylon. Although I think my angle on the Hammock was to blame and a level hammock would cure this.

    I would recommend this to anyone who dislikes the mummy bag strait jacket feeling and doesn't mind looking like an escaped telly tubby
    Having tried it out it will be my 1st choice on future kayak expeditions and weekend bush-craft meets.

    For sub zero or people who feel the cold I would have gone for the standard thicker version (still a reasonably small pack size) I may invest in the standard version as well.

    I have absolutely no affiliation to the supplier or manufacturer.

    Thanks for the link BJ. What I couldn't find on the site was care instructions. Do you know they are washable / dry-cleanable ?

    Cheers,

    Found it and copied / pasted.
    Care
    hand wash with a mild detergent or machine wash (max. 30°C)
    wash on the gentle cycle, use as little detergent as possible
    spread out to dry or tumble dry (max 30°C)
    do not iron
    do not wash with dark colours
    do not use bleach
    do not wash the bag more than necessary
