How to choose a lightweight compact Millet sleeping bag? Which model to choose for trekking and mountain use?
To choose the right model in bag in Millet’s sleeping bag range you first need to define your needs.
Are you going to cover long distances? If the answer is yes, you should prefer an ultra-lightweight down model over heavier and bulkier synthetic models.
What kind of temperatures are you expecting to encounter? As the prices and weights differ widely between a Baikal 750 designed for 10°C and a Trilogy Ultimate which will protect you in extreme temperatures down to -17°C.
The most important aspect is choosing your equipment according to the temperatures you will face. A Millet sleeping bag that is too hot will be a nightmare (overheating, sweating, moisture), whereas a model that is too light will not provide appropriate warmth and you will have to resort to wearing extra clothes, if you have any...

How to fold a Millet sleeping bag?
The way of folding a Millet sleeping bag is the same as for other models, meaning:
- Shake the sleeping bag to remove wrinkles and spread the fill
- Lay the bag on the ground
- Close the opening zips
- Fold it in half along the length
- Roll it from footbox to hood. This step should be done carefully, keeping the sides aligned and compressing the bag as much as possible to chase away the air towards the hood opening.
- Slide the sleeping bag rolled up in its compression sack or use the drawcords.
