SIERRA
DESIGNS NIGHT CAP SLEEPING BAG IS PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
‘The US company wins 10 UK Awards in 10 months’
Announced at the recent Outdoor Trade Show (OTS), Sierra Designs’ newly launched Night Cap sleeping bag was the winner of the UK Outdoor Industry Awards 2021 ‘Sleeping Product’ and the overall ‘Product of the Year’
New for
2021, the Sierra Designs Night Cap (SRP £50) is based on the best-selling
zipperless Cloud 800 sleeping bag, but now in a lower cost, fully recycled
synthetic package. It has a design with an integrated oversized blanket for all
the comforts of home in the outdoors.
The Night
Cap also incorporates Sierra Designs’ patented self-sealing foot vent and a pad
sleeve, allowing increased ventilation for hot sleepers and movability for
wiggle worms, side or front –sleepers. Kind to the Planet and kind to your
pocket too!
Commenting
on being awarded ‘Product of the Year’ the UK Outdoor Industry Awards judges
commented:
John Thynne, Deputy Editor, Caravan and Motorhome Club Magazine, said:
'The Sierra
Designs Nightcap sleeping bag has lots going for it, from the clever,
zipperless design to the innovative shoulder section and foot vent that help
you control your body temperature. The fact it is made from recycled bottles
only adds to its impressive credentials.'
Will Renwick, Editor, Outdoorsmagic said:
'Who would've
thought it was possible to reinvent the humble sleeping bag? Sierra Designs
have managed it anyway, and the results are impressive. I've tested out this
zipperless design a fair bit now and I think it's absolutely excellent.'
Matt Jones, outdoor writer and editor, Matt Jones,
said 'Sierra
Designs’ Night Cap bag impressed us greatly with its innovative, versatile and
eco-conscious design. Combining the advantages of a mummy-style sleeping bag
with the convenience of a quilt, this unusual zipperless bag offers both
comfort and warmth. Let’s be honest, zippers are the chink in every sleeping
bag’s armour. They add weight and bulk to a bag’s design, have a nasty habit of
letting in draughts, and often jam at the worst possible moment.
