I have no complaints about the workmanship, appearance, warmth or colour of this sleeping bag – it really is great, so why only four stars? Firstly, the hood could fit better and cover the head more. Secondly, the width – I thought 80 cm would be enough, but once it's zipped up I feel there isn't enough room and the sleeping comfort is mediocre. Maybe for someone slimmer it will be just right.
Mil-Tec Mummy 500 g Sleeping Bag - Woodland
A durable sleeping bag in Woodland camouflage, designed in a mummy shape for a comfortable sleeping position and freedom of movement. Made from high-quality polyester, it features a hard-wearing outer shell and Hollow Fibre filling.
Temperature range and operating conditions
The operating temperature range of the Mummy sleeping bag has been determined in accordance with ISO 23537-1:2022
- T-comfort: 1 deg. C – the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably throughout the night
- T-limit: -5 deg. C – the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort
- T-extreme: -22 deg. C – the lowest possible temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is possible. This is not a value recommended for regular use.
Polyester construction, pleasant-to-touch lining
The outer layer, made from polyester with a PU coating, effectively protects against abrasion, mechanical damage, and moisture. The interior lining, a blend of cotton and polyester, ensures a soft feel against the skin and good ventilation. This material combination makes the sleeping bag an excellent choice for long expeditions as well as peaceful nights sleeping under the stars.
Hollow Fibre filling
Thermal insulation is provided by a double layer of Hollow Fibre polyester with a grammage of 500 g/m2. This material stands out for its low weight and high compressibility. The quilted structure stabilises the fibres, ensuring even heat distribution. The filling retains its elasticity and breathability, allowing for proper air circulation. Its thermal insulating properties remain even when wet, after heavy use, and after washing. The filling does not cause allergic reactions, making it suitable for allergy sufferers.
Right side zip, special protective strip
The sleeping bag features a two-way zip on the right side, covered with a velcro tab. Inside, a protective strip is sewn in to prevent fabric from getting caught in the zip and to reduce heat loss.
Integrated hood protecting against cold
The anatomical hood provides extra thermal protection for your head, while the adjustable drawstring reduces heat loss to enhance thermal comfort in low temperatures. The fitted thermal collar effectively blocks cold air from entering the sleeping bag.
Easy transport and storage
Design optimised for easy transport and storage. When packed, the sleeping bag measures 45 x 45 x 68 cm and weighs 2000 g, making it significantly easier to carry.
Set elements
The set includes a practical compression sack with a buckle closure, protecting the sleeping bag from dirt and mechanical damage during transport.

Woodland camouflage
Woodland, also known as US Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL pattern. For over twenty years, it remained the standard issue in the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The pattern is characterised by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which greatly enhance camouflage effectiveness and disrupt the silhouette in woodland terrain. Its high recognisability and effectiveness led to numerous modifications of the pattern, which has been adopted by over 60 uniformed services worldwide. Woodland has also played an important role in pop culture, moving from military use into everyday fashion.

Hollow Fiber is a type of synthetic fiber characterized by a hollow space inside the structure. Thanks to this solution, the fibers effectively retain air, which ensures high insulating properties without increasing the weight of the material. The fibers are lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, which is why they are widely used in thermal clothing, sleeping bags and outdoor equipment.

The sleeping bag retains body heat well and efficiently wicks away moisture – it's great for winter nights, even without extra heating. The zip is strong and durable for frequent use, and the sleeping bag also works well as a duvet – you don't have to do it up.
