The Lost Coast 30 is a down mummy bag that's light enough to carry on a tramp and comfy enough for the back of the wagon. It's filled with 600-fill RDS-certified down, treated with Down Defender so it copes better with damp, and wrapped in a 100% post-consumer recycled ripstop shell and lining. It's ISO-tested with a comfort rating of 1°C and a limit of -4°C, so it suits spring to autumn in most of the country. There's a draft collar, a wrap-around footbox, an anti-snag zip and an inside pocket for your phone. This is the Short length, made for sleepers up to 168 cm (5'6"), with a left-hand zip.
