A COMPARISON AND TOUR OF THE SLEEPING BAGS I USE

[@AndyWardle]

Just as a guide. I gave the dimensions of the planet first. Then you can see how I fit in the other 2 as an idea of size. Fit. Comfort. Etc. 👍

[@craig-outdooradventure4632]

Thanks for the review Andy. Great advice on the Rab 900 and compression sack for saving space. Bought both and can’t fault them on the recent autumn/winter camps. Thanks again 👍🏼

[@AndyWardle]

Ah yes. I was using my 900 the other night. Still going strong. I changed to stuffing it in the backpack now. No compression bag. I just place other stuff inside. As long as it stays dry it’s good.

[@fraserconnell21]

Now,that's what one calls a grand slippy slidey entrance 👍👍😷

[@Olan...]

Great discriptions...I just ordered the 1100 in size XL.....go outdoors only had regular so I went with Bikester £220 which is a fair price for a winter bag.....do you teach those Slide In entrances Andy ;) very stylish .

[@acedecs]

I go between my north face blue kazoo and softie 12. Ever had your down bags laundered? I’ve recently been looking at down quilts. Any thoughts on them Andy? Prediction on when the gates will reopen?

[@AndyWardle]

Down quilts in my humble opinion. Waste of money. Open your sleeping bag out like I showed. If you wrap a quilt around you what’s the difference?? It packs smaller? Lighter? I showed these bags can pack down small enough. And there’s lighter bags available. Save your money mate. Stick with the bags. 👍. March 8th. That’s my predicted time. 👍

[@acedecs]

@@AndyWardle Yeah I had thought the same about opening the bag out. Hope you’re right with that date you won’t get moved in the lakes mate it will be rammed ⛺️

[@AndyWardle]

@@acedecs we’re staying well away from lakes like. Be a cheviots buzz for a while. 👍

[@stephenclarke3990]

Great tip for storage, thanks 👍🏼

[@AndyWardle]

No problem 👍

[@ajcoops5919]

Wiggys sleeping bags are the best on the market,I imported 2 from Colorado USA where they make them,absolute worth every penny,definitely worth looking at

[@gw6797]

Only 6 days ago I dropped a hint that if you are bored you can make a video of the Rab 1100 sleeping bag and you have...... Top Man you are Andy and you've convinced me to buy the bag. Your bag wriggling exploits gave me the giggles too Atb Andy and very much appreciated PS I've given you a thumbs up too! 👍

[@AndyWardle]

Yeah you got me thinking 💭 so here it is. If you shop around you’ll probably get it cheaper than £300. 👍 thank you for the 👍 it means a lot 😂

[@Justanotherwolf77]

Great review Andy and just wondered what size compression sack you used for stuffing the 1100 into ? Would it fit in a 10 L drybag or would you need a bigger one ? Cheers Rog 😀👍

[@AndyWardle]

Not sure mate I just use the medium S2S bag I’m not sure of the litres size. These days I’m just stuffing it my backpack main compartment. Works well for me. 👍

[@shaunjones5172]

That Rab 1100 looks like the ace of sleeping bags

[@christophersmith2689]

Hi andy Nice one mate I have the rab 900 and i love it i am saving up for the 1100 keeping my eyes open for a bargin Thanks for that andy take care atvb chris

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers Chris. Aye check the links I put in. Then google the 1100. It’s cheaper so you may get a price match. Atb mate 👍

[@wozwandering4255]

Rab should use you for their advertising Andy certainly made sleeping bags entertaining 🤣🤣💪👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AndyWardle]

😂 don’t think they’d sell many off the back of my vids 👍

[@derekthompson5408]

Bags keep you warm,especially packing them haha,and i agree the slide was theatrically needed bravo,stay safe,keep your chin up we will all be BACK OUT!! soon enough cheers atb

[@AndyWardle]

There’s nee need for the bags just pack them a few times 😂. Aye hopefully out soon. Atb mate. Hope you’re well 👍

[@Globetrotter-1]

For the Rab Ascent 1100 the Comfort rating is -11C. Limit rating is -25C. Extreme rating is -40C.

[@chrisanderson224]

Great review. I’ve been looking to buy a Rab bag and those are the two I’ve been considering. I’ve been leaning more towards the 1100 but I would like to use it all year round. Do you think you would be able to use the 1100 during the summer or would you get cooked alive? 😂

[@AndyWardle]

Too hot in summer. I tried and found out the hard way. You can always hang out of it though or use like a quilt. It’s cracking in the winter though. I used it a lot in 2019 👍 the 900 is good too. But if I could only choose 1 I’d go for the 1100. 👍

[@daveflute2937]

Good workout packing those bags in the stuff sacks..lol ATB Dave

[@AndyWardle]

It really is 😆 😰

[@skasgarden]

Hello Andy! Is the Fell Wanderer alive & well? I haven't seen hide nor hair of Damian in over a month!

[@AndyWardle]

Yeah he’s ok. Just can’t get out. He’ll be back for sure. 👍

[@dtuchowski]

You have my subscription for hard work 👍🙄😁

[@ItsMe-N01]

Thought i were watching risky business when you came sliding in like Tom Cruise there😂😂 Are you still in the bag, do you need us to bring food and beers up.

[@AndyWardle]

I’m still in it yes. Send beer 🍺. Always send beer. 👍

[@paulyoung5073]

Followed ya vids for a while.... this is one of best sleeping bag vids on KZbin Simple fact you show bags compressed & lofted..... amazing how few channels do this 👍👍👍

[@AndyWardle]

Yeah I thought it was important as down bags don’t compress like synthetic ones. But this shows how you can get them in your backpack no problem. Glad you enjoyed. Atb mate 👍

[@cheviotoutdoors]

Lol 😂 how many time did you practice that sliding start ?

[@AndyWardle]

In one take. 😂 🕺

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Vango need to change the name to Andy's Planet. 😂. Wor lass uses her Ascent 900 in the summer too. Sometimes it's that hot I can't get into mine lol. We use the Sea to summit stuff bags in medium. There great. Sorry I was in stitches watching you in the Andy's Planet bag. At first I thought you were having a fit. 😂🤣👍

[@AndyWardle]

😂 I may have over acted a bit 😉 Yeah the ascent is a great bag. I had issues though so went up. My mate Mark Thompson isn’t a fan of his. They seem to have a design fault with the down. Cold spots and light coming through. The 1100 is 100% different. I’m glad I got it. Still use the 900 though. Hope you’re well mate. 👍

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

I up graded to the Rab Neutrino 800. Very similar ratings as your 1100 apart from the wait. Haven't had a chance to try it out camping but it's very warm in the house. See a garden camp coming on here like. 👍

Would it help to be a bona fide contortionist to get in and out of those sleeping bags bro. Anyway enjoyed the video so all the best.

[@AndyWardle]

You just sllllide in them ken. So silky. A little bit of flexibility is advantageous of course 😂 stops you floundering. 😝 Atb mate 👍

[@PaulMessner]

I thought at one point you were never gonna get out of that bag 😂. Wriggling about like an escapologist.

I was literally touching cloth 😂

the great sleeping bag escapologist 😂 nee need for jim jams in the 1100.👍

[@AndyWardle]

I’ve slept in me under crackers in it. Was still sweating. It’s some bit of kit like. Atb mate. 👍

[@Markwildcamp]

I thought you were trapped in the vango for the rest of the vid😂end up with claustrophobia. I've been very dissapointed with my 900 so much so I'll never buy anything else Rab, need a new bag but I think I'll try an alpkit. Or a western mountaineering 🤔😂

[@AndyWardle]

Get the 11 hunner. It’s 100 times the bag the 900 claims to be. I’m still trapped in the vango. Send beer. 😂

I can see that you must of had some ballet or dance performance training from that entrance....lol..ATB Dave

[@AndyWardle]

I’m very light on my feet 😂

[@billygoatfilms7531]

Bloody hell Andy I thought I’d switched onto Dancing on Ice when you slid into shot. Nice sleeping bags there,keep you nice and cozy. I’ve had many bags over the years both down and synthetic. Only bag I use now is a Mountain Hardwear 4 season synthetic, had it about six years. Never washed any of my bags they simply die and fade away. I see you’ve got one of those virus comments, I had another one today, hit the delete button straight away. Take care and sleep well. 👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 PS you’ve only got two thumbs down, must be doing something right 😅🤣😂

[@AndyWardle]

Yes MH gear is really good. I’ve had a few synthetic bags but werent as warm as those Rab ones. So I went for it. I like the cold 🥶 see. So it makes sense to fork out on the extra warmth. Thumbs down 👎🏻 make me sick. It wasn’t up 9 minutes and there was one. Obviously trolls. I’m ignoring them sad acts. Yes I had 2 virus comments. Just reported them and they vanish. Bloody KZbin full of scoundrels. Arse face etc. 👍
