Three water repellent PrimaLoft filled bags are launched by The North Face this year. The three bags, named Pyxis, Orion and Scorpio, are ultra-lightweight and very compressible so easy for hauling around with you on the move. They are also great for all weathers so should you get caught in a summer downpour the PrimaLoft insulation in The North Face bags will keep you warm and dry.

It’s no fun being chilly in your sack when trying to sleep which is why The North Face has used PrimaLoft synthetic fibres in its new range of summer sleeping bags. The warmer Pyxis and Orion bags will keep you toasty even if temperatures dip below zero at night and costs £155 for the regular length Pyxis and £135 for the Orion. Costing £115 for the regular length, the Scorpio is perfect for use in milder conditions and will keep sleepers warm to 9°C, ample for use in the British summer time.

The sleeping bags are washing washable and can be tumble dried. The North Face Pyxis, Scorpio and Orion sleeping bags can be found at outdoor retailers nation-wide.
