FAQs

What is the temperature rating for this sleeping bag?

The Vango Stellar Double Sleeping Bag has a comfort rating of 4°C and a limit rating of -1°C. It is tested to EN ISO 23537-1:2022 standards.

Is this sleeping bag suitable for very cold winter camping?

This is primarily a 3-season sleeping bag, best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. While it has a limit rating of -1°C, it is not designed for extreme winter conditions where temperatures consistently drop well below freezing.

How should I clean the sleeping bag?

For minor stains, use a damp cloth. For a full clean, use a large-capacity washing machine on a gentle cycle with cool water and a specialized sleeping bag wash. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Ensure it is thoroughly dried on a low heat tumble setting with tennis balls.

What is the fill type and why is it important?

The fill is a blend of 60% single hole siliconised hollow fibre and 40% polyester. This blend is chosen for its ability to retain loft and insulating properties even when damp, making the bag more reliable in unpredictable weather.

Can one person use this double sleeping bag?

Yes, absolutely. While designed for two, it offers ample space for solo campers who prefer to spread out or want extra room for comfort.

What is the maximum height of a user for this sleeping bag?

The sleeping bag is designed to accommodate users up to a maximum height of 190 cm.

How heavy is the sleeping bag?

The Vango Stellar Double Sleeping Bag weighs 3.85 kg.

Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold despite being zipped up.

Ensure the hood is drawn and the internal zip baffle is secured to minimize heat loss. Check that the bag has fully lofted after unpacking. If outdoors, allow it to air out for an hour before use. Verify that the external temperature is within the bag's recommended usage range.

Fill seems uneven or lumpy.

Gently shake and air out the sleeping bag to allow the fill to redistribute. If stored compressed, it may take time to regain full loft. For persistent unevenness, consider a gentle wash and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help break up clumps.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper track with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil if it continues to stick.

Sleeping bag smells musty.

This indicates potential dampness. Air the bag out thoroughly in a dry, well-ventilated area. If the smell persists, wash the bag according to care instructions and ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth retention due to high-quality insulation.
  • Comfortable for two people or solo campers needing extra room.
  • Performs well in damp conditions, retaining loft.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Suitable for spring and autumn camping with its temperature ratings.

Cons

  • Relatively heavy at 3.85 kg, which might not be ideal for long treks.
  • The maximum user height of 190 cm may be limiting for very tall individuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sleeping bag is designed for immediate use. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack. For optimal loft and insulation, allow the sleeping bag to fully expand in the open air for at least an hour before use, especially if it has been compressed for storage.

Compatibility:

  • User Height: Best suited for individuals up to 190 cm.
  • Temperature Range: Ideal for 3-season use, with comfort ratings suitable for temperatures down to 4°C.
  • Tent Size: Its generous dimensions (150 cm width, 215 cm length) require a tent designed for at least two people or larger, to ensure adequate space within the shelter.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a full wash, use a large-capacity washing machine on a gentle cycle with cool water and a specialized sleeping bag wash. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the fill and restore loft. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its original stuff sack or a larger breathable cotton bag. Avoid long-term compression, as this can damage the insulation and reduce its effectiveness over time.
