I bought the Tesco Microlite sleeping bag last summer for a last minute bike and camping trip. I wouldn't have usually considered Tesco for camping gear but at 6am on a Saturday morning there's not a lot of choice in where you shop. My main reason for choosing this sleeping bag was the size at around 29cm x 15cm when it's rolled up in the stuff sack it's around half the size of most sleeping bags and only weighs 800gms. This makes it the perfect size for taking away with you when you want to travel light and it doesn't take up much room if you keep it in the car in case of bad weather or a breakdown or at home for last minute ...  Read the complete review

We bought two of these sleeping bags late last year to take camping with us. we paid around the £15 mark for each which seemed like a bargain at the time, but I notice they are currently on sale via Tesco Direct online for £11 each so even more of a good deal! These are tapered 'mummy' shaped sleeping bags, meaning that they are wider at the top than the bottom with the idea being that they fit to a human body quite snugly. This has both pros and cons to my mind, I am not the kind of person who sleeps in one position all night and I did find I woke up feeling like I was fighting my way out of the bag on occassion, however, in cold weather there is nothing ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Direct (online store) and some larger Tesco stores have started to stock camping and other outdoors equipment as camping becomes more popular for us Brits. This may be something to do with the recession as a family can camp at a fraction of the cost of staying in a hotel or holidaying abroad. I went into my nearest large Tesco store recently to see what sleeping bags, if any, they had for my camping trip to Wales. We only camped for two nights so I didn't want to pay a lot for a sleeping bag that wasn't going to get much use.  I managed to find a 'Mummy' style sleeping bag which gets it's name as it tapers down and gets shorter in width as it travels ...  Read the complete review

I bought this from Tesco last summer for one of my camping trips. I had an old sleeping bag that had seen better days and had been to one too many festivals and camping trips. At the time of my purchase it cost around £20. However, I see it's reduced to £11 at the moment which is an absolute steal in my opinion. This is a Mummy Sleeping Bag which means that it is narrower at the bottom than it is at the top. There is a hood at the top of the sleeping bag too, so when you are in it, it is just your face poking out. There is also a double sided zip which I find makes getting in and out of the sleeping bag easier as you can operate the zip from inside your ...  Read the complete review

We have enjoyed camping for many years now and have frequently changed the equipment we use. Each year new products come onto the Market that are a little advanced than the last. Prices also seem to be coming down on these items as more competition from non specialist camping shops such as the larger supermarkets pushes them down. This sleeping bag is £22 from Tesco direct. Recently Tesco have offered clubcard points redemption on direct products, they offered these at double value making this product £11. If you use Tesco alot these deals are well worth having. Delivery is extra but if you live near a large Tesco store you can collect for free. This is what I ...  Read the complete review
