The Robens Downlite 700 Sleeping Bag is a high performance duck down sleeping bag. The Downlite 700 has comfort temperatures for ladies of -2 Celsius, or for men of -9 Celsius. If you're not sure what temperature rating you're looking for, read our guide to sleeping bag temperature ratings. To give you an idea, the Downlite 700 would make a good all-round 3 season sleeping bag (sleeping bags which are considered 3 season have a comfort rating of around -5 degrees Celsius).

The sleeping bag is 1300g, so fairly lightweight, and contains 80/20 duck down (500 fill power). The 80% duck down is much lighter than similarly priced synthetic bags. The bag is a mummy shaped design at a length of 195cm.

The bag has a packed size of just 33 x 17cm. Though when you're not out camping you will want to keep your sleeping bag out of the bag — to aid this, the bottom of the bag has hanging straps.

Useful additional features include a thermo collar, an easy-close hood, storage pockets, a low pack size and light weight.
