The Defence 1 is a Light-Weight sleeping bag with an extremely small stuff size and minimum weight. The shellproof shell fits loosely over the inner structure and provides an extra layer of insulation with no cold seams.
This construction ensures reserve warmth for cool, foggy nights. In warmer weather the bottom part of the two-way zipper can be opend for ventilation. The zipper is non-snagging so that you can alway get out quickly and easily.

I slept in it for a couple of nights in the autumn weather, although this autumn it was warmer than usual and really humid. It worked well for sleeping and above all it takes up significantly less space than the PV sack. I would have fit in a shorter model (XXXL 180cm man) but I took the larger one because it is more relaxed. It seems to be something that will last forever in all respects.

When using a hammock, a good zipper in the middle is essential, as is sufficient length when you can't settle down. A bag is better than a blanket if you turn over in your sleep. Open in the heat, but still good when you have a little wind protection under your back. This is the second bag I bought similar to this, so I haven't come up with a better one. Down is definitely lighter/smaller in size, but the price is something else.

Great spring time to late summer sleeping bag. Have also used this along with a Defence 4 to sleep verry warm through one trip where it was threatening to go down to -25c but never did.
