Vango’s best-selling sleeping bag range, the award-winning Nitestar Alpha packs its best features into this Junior version, so your young explorers can sleep easy whether on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition or away on a camping holiday with the family. Boasting an amazing warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to the Alpha insulation that features hollow fibres to increase heat retain and maintain compressibility, the Nitestar Junior comes in a mummy-shaped sleeping bag for enhanced thermal efficiency with an elasticated hood to prevent heat loss.

The Polair Hex face fabric is durable yet soft to the touch whilst the accompanying Polair lining is comfortable against the skin. The 2-way zip opens on the left side with a zip guard and anti-catch piping to prevent snagging, and it won’t open in the night with the auto-locking system. Part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award’s recommended kit list, the Nitestar Junior is proven to be the ideal sleeping bag for the next expedition whether bronze, silver or gold.
