Great price for a 3-season rated bag
Novel zip system doesn't work

This is the least expensive three-season sleeping bag we have tested at £95 yet it still manages to achieve a respectable comfort rating of 1C from its synthetic fill.

The S-shaped zip system is unusual and can make you feel quite claustrophobic at times when pulled to the top. When you do this you're left with a tiny head opening and no way of enlarging it without undoing the zip and letting all that lovely heat out. The body and feet of the Smoozip feel a little too narrow too, not allowing for enough freedom of movement inside the bag.

The 150 weight fleece lining at the arms, foot and head are potentially a nice touch if comfort is your main priority but we feel that it just unnecessarily adds to the weight which is relatively heavy at 1890g.

Having said all that, if you don't have a problem with feeling so contained the heat builds up impressively fast in the Smoozip.

The high weight combined with the relatively large pack size of 44 x 25cm preclude the Smoozip from consideration as a backpacking or wild camping sleeping bag but If you can handle feeling contained, and put heat retention above all, then it represents good value for money for car camping.
