The Bottom Line
The Mountain Warehouse Traveller 50 is a low budget ultralight and comfortable sleeping bag. 1-2 season and not fantastic quality – but that’s excusable, given the price.
(3 / 5)

Purchasing
This sleeping bag markets at £40 – but its often on sale at half that (I bought mine for £17.99).
General Comment
The Mountain Warehouse Traveller 50 is dirt cheap – and for the price, it works well. Its not a winter bag – its comfort temperature is 11°C, so its really only suited for summer camping (at least in the UK). It packs down very small and light, weighing in at only 650 grams. It is a mummy bag with a zip down the side (available left or right) and I’ve found it to be excellent for summer trips.
The bag is available in a range of sizes and colours to suit everyone, and is easily hand-washable, even without any special chemicals. When packed down as small as it’ll go, it hardly takes up any room at all – but care has to be taken with the stuff sack (see later).
Quality
It is sturdy enough not to tear or break too easily – the bag itself (which is a synthetic rip-stop fabric) has never caused me problems, but the stuff sack is very cheap. One of the compression bands ripped off, pulling the bottom of the sack off with it, but fortunately I was able to stitch it back together – and I’m confident my fix is stronger than the original.
Now that I’ve fixed this, I’ve started to notice wear in the sack itself – the fabric is developing strain holes.
Not much more than I could’ve expected for £18, and altogether a good little bag – but watch out for the stuff sack.
