Half-length Sleeping Bags / Pied D'elephants / Half Bags suitable for temps from +10°C to –40°C
Teamed with your insulated jacket – either as an ultralight bivvy solution or to boost the performance of a sleeping bag – a PHD half-bag is a very effective component in your versatile Sleep System. PHD offer probably the widest range of half bags in the world, suitable for temperatures from +10°C to –40°C: https://www.phdesigns.co.uk/half-bags Half-bags (Pied d'elephants to oldies) are coming back. They've been out of fashion for a few years in the trend towards using lifts and huts to make quick comfortable ascents, when a bivouac was a mistake, not a plan. But the logic behind half-bags is still valid. If you're wearing a warm jacket already, all you need to spend the night out is something to keep your legs warm and there's no lighter way to do that than to use a half-bag. Check out the weights of PHD's new half-bags and see for yourself. 👉 When there's no hut in the right place for your climb, or it's full, or you just don't like the crush; 👉 When you want to wander along your GR, free to sleep inside or under the stars as the fancy takes you; 👉 When you want a lightweight backup in case weather, miscalculation or accident catch you out; ...A half-bag is the lightest answer: https://www.phdesigns.co.uk/half-bags
