Product Information

Full details

The Vango Banshee 300 is an ideal choice for backpackers and hikers seeking a reliable, three-season sleeping bag that balances warmth with portability. Designed for those who prioritize a lightweight pack without sacrificing thermal performance, it utilizes advanced synthetic insulation and heat-reflective technology to keep you comfortable during varied conditions. While it offers excellent warmth-to-weight efficiency, its synthetic fill means it does not pack down quite as small as high-end down alternatives, making it better suited for users who value durability and moisture resistance over absolute packability.

FAQs

Is the Vango Banshee 300 waterproof?

It features a water-resistant shell, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to resist dampness, not to be submerged in water or used in heavy rain without a tent.

Can I join two Vango bags together?

The Banshee 300 is designed as a standalone mummy bag; it is not specifically designed for zipping together with other units.

What is the weight of the sleeping bag?

The total weight of the Vango Banshee 300 is 1.29 kg.

What is the packed size?

The packed size is approximately 30 x 24 cm when using the provided compression sack.

How do I store the bag when not in use?

Store it loosely in a large breathable sack or hang it in a cool, dry place to ensure the synthetic insulation maintains its loft.

Is the zipper left or right-handed?

The bag features a full-length, two-way auto-lock zipper designed for easy access from either inside or outside.

Troubleshooting

Insulation feels flat or loses loft

Shake the sleeping bag vigorously and hang it in a warm, dry area for 24 hours to allow the synthetic fibers to re-expand.

Zip catching on the inner lining

When zipping, use your thumb or a finger to gently push the fabric away from the zipper track, or use the zip baffle as a guard.

Cold spots appearing during the night

Ensure the internal drawcords are properly adjusted to seal the hood and shoulder area, preventing heat from escaping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity and thermal efficiency of your Banshee 300, it is crucial to handle it correctly. Always use the included 4-strap compression sack to reduce the packed volume to its 30 x 24 cm footprint, but avoid storing the bag in this compressed state for long periods. Instead, store it loosely in a large mesh bag or hanging to allow the insulation to maintain its loft. When setting up, allow the bag to "loft up" for 15-20 minutes after taking it out of the sack. To clean, use a gentle cycle with a specialized synthetic cleaner and ensure it is thoroughly air-dried; avoid tumble drying on high heat as this can damage the internal reflective layers.
