Mountain Equipment Helium Sleeping Bag Expansion Baffle

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Sleeping Bag Expansion Baffle is a great piece of kit if you are extending the useable range of your sleeping bag by wearing more clothes, its not uncommon to wear a down jacket inside your sleeping bag when its cold – expanding the internal volume in this way gives you ore scope.

Mountain Equipment says:

A lightweight expansion baffle providing greater internal space to our down sleeping bags.

Our Verdict

Mountain Equipment’s Helium Sleeping Bag Expansion Baffle is a great innovation, Helium bags are one of Mountain Equipment’s premium backpacking ranges and as such are cut for warmth rather than internal volume – with this expansion baffle you can create a bit more space easily. If you are using your Helium bag in colder conditions and want to wear more clothing the baffle may be a great option.
