W.A.R.M Fit is “designed to accommodate a variety of natural sleep positions, without sacrificing warmth and packability”.
Therm-a-Rest’s new W.A.R.M. Fit (With Additional Room for Multiple positions), now featured in the Trek & Travel line, is designed for backpackers who want a good night’s sleep but still need something light and packable. MSR say this is achieved with a thoughtful design that allows for a variety of natural sleep positions without sacrificing thermal efficiency. This is thanks to the human-designed fit, oversized draft tubes for added warmth and perfectly contoured Toe-asis™ foot warmer for cold toes.
Questar Sleeping Bags

The Questar line blends comfort features with a backcountry-friendly pack size. The family of bags has been updated with W.A.R.M. Fit and is welcoming a new 32F/0C bag to the line, with three temperature options (32F/0C, 20F/-6C and 0F/-18C).
A new design that combines the thermal efficiency of a mummy bag with a roomier fit allows campers to sleep comfortably in any position. All three bags feature 650-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down™ that absorbs 90% less water and dries three times faster. SynergyLink Connectors help secure the sleeping bag to the pad, while design features like zoned insulation and box baffled construction maximise warmth. The 32F/0C bag weighs 850g (regular). RRP: £215.
Saros Sleeping Bags
Saros 32F/0C
The Saros family of bags feature a synthetic fill that ensures cold and damp conditions at camp won’t dampen your sense of adventure. The Saros family now features the new W.A.R.M. Fit design and welcomes two new bags, 32F/0C and 0F/-19C, for a full offering of temperature ratings. The mummy bags feature eraLoft™, a water-resistant synthetic fill that uses hollow fibres to reduce weight without sacrificing warmth. The feature-full Saros bags also have SynergyLink Connectors to integrate your bag to the pad for optimal comfort and thermal efficiency, as well as a Toe-asis foot pocket to warm cold feet. The new 32F/0C bag weighs 1060g. RRP: £140
Corus and Vela Quilts

Therm-a-Rest is also growing its offering in the quilt category with the new Corus 20F/-6C (single) and Vela 20F/-6C (double), in addition to the existing Corus and Vela 32F/0C. Quilts are versatile, lighter and more packable than a full bag. The 650-fill quilts use Nikwax Hydrophobic Down, and box baffled construction uses mesh walls to maximise warmth and minimise cold spots. A thoughtfully designed foot box is designed to slip over your pad to eliminate drafts. The Corus 20F/-6C weighs 734g, the Vela 20F/-6C weighs 1268g. RRP: Corus 20F/-6C, £195; Vela 20F/-6C, £295.
