The 58 pattern sleeping bag is a classic. This genuine military issue bag definitely deserves its reputation for comfort and warmth. Tried and tested in the army by troops, it's great for fishing, hiking, festivals and general camping trips especially in cold conditions.

This bag is very versatile due to the waterproof bottom which is like a built-in groundsheet. It can be used conventionally inside a tent, or can be slept in directly on the ground in summer nights with or without the use of bashas, tarpaulin and/or other shelters.

It tips the scales at above average weight these days at 2.5kg but the small sacrifice of pack size and weight is easily made up for in comfort and warmth. Having said that, it will still fit inside a decent sized rucksack.

Whatever you're planning, this is a serious bit of kit not to be overlooked!

Q: does this bag require to be used with a liner.
A: It is not essential to use a liner with this sleeping bag, however you can if you wish to.
Q: I used one of these for years and have owned and washed more than one. I found that washing with Nikwax down wash worked. The trick is always with the drying. Allow most of the water to drip out, then tumble dry, preferably with a tennis ball (or similar) in with it. This will retain the loft. They can also be pepped up in the same way if they don't really need the wash.
A: Thanks for the great advice!
