What to look for in a winter sleeping bag

The Exped Waterbloc Pro sleeping bag is a 4-season sleeping bag designed with bivying in mind. It has 800 fill down, making it very soft and warm, with a Pertex outer shell that repels the weather. Regarding the size of the bag, I’m 177 cm (5ft 10in) and find that the bag is plenty roomy for me. When it’s warm, I can leave the top open and not cinch everything all the way up. When it’s cold, I can hunker down into the bag a little more, tighten up the baffles and zip everything up full.

One clear difference when it comes to 4-season bags is that they will almost always come with hoods and baffles. Rectangular bags that don’t cover your head might be fine during the warmer parts of the year, but in the winter you really need a bag in which you can properly batten down the hatches. That’s why winter bags almost always come with hoods that can be cinched down tightly around the head. Of course, there's a caveat here. We wouldn't recommend getting into a winter-rated sleeping bag during a July heatwave, but hopefully this is common sense. However, with spring upon us, you'll still get plenty of use out of these toasty bags.

For UK use, however, we think the bag delivers enough warmth to reasonably be considered a true 4-season sleeping bag, and we’re happy with its performance overall. We wouldn’t take it on a winter arctic expedition, but we’d be happy using this on practically any winter camping trip throughout the UK, and would only upgrade to something warmer if we were camping at elevation or in winter weather that’s uncharacteristically harsh (and cold) for the UK.

I don't use sleeping bag liners as it's extra weight to carry all day for a bit of luxury in my opinion. Snugpak’s polyester Softie insulation has been a mainstay in the British brand’s products for over thirty years. It utilizes superfine yarns bound together with special resins to mimic the properties of natural insulation such as down. The result is a really plush feeling bag that is easily warm enough for winter camping trips.

Weighing 1,370g (3lb), the Leviathan 900 is also reasonably lightweight, considering the temperatures it is designed for.

Best winter sleeping bags at a glance

The OEX Leviathan EV 900 has an impressive comfort rating but we wouldn’t recommend bivying in it (Image credit: Craig Taylor) As zips can allow for heat to escape, a good winter bag will also come with baffles along the length of the zip that seal everything in once it’s closed. A baffle will often be present around the shoulders to cinch down and tighten everything up, thereby preventing any heat from escaping through the night.
