Sierra Designs Night Cap Sleeping Bag Is Product Of The Year In UK Outdoor Industry Awards
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.
The US outdoor trekking and backpacking brand has only been established in the UK for just over a year, and in the last 10 months its products have been the winners of 10 prestigious awards.
