CUMULUS QUANTUM 350 LIGHTWEIGHT THREE SEASON DOWN SLEEPING BAGI am selling my Cumulus Quantum 350 sleeping bag purely because I am emigrating next year and will have no further use for it unfortunately.It was originally purchased to use on an expedition that never happened, so is unused, but is without the original packaging or tags.You can see from the last photo a comparison with the 30cm ruler that, when packed for carrying, it is very compact.It comes with its own compression sack for when you're on the move and also a mesh storage bag for when you get back home. This latter enables the bag to stored and aired without compressing the down for long periods of time.This is absolutely one of the best lightweight 3 season bags you can buy - they are now sold under the Criterion label and retail new for around £270!!TRAIL, March 2014 - 'TRAIL MAGAZINE GEAR BLOG'- Dan Aspel, Features Editor Cumulus Quantum 350
".. it's so good I feel like I need to shout about it...a perfect choice for wild camping in the British hills for everything short of a deep winter freeze. Despite this it weighs a remarkable 695g and compresses into a minimal stuff sack... it has spent the past 12 months accompanying me on every camping trip - no other bag has got a look in. A windy, barely above freezing night at nearly 900m passed by quickly and warmly thanks to this bag." TRAIL, October 2013 - 'Used & Abused' Cumulus Quantum 350
"..a phenomenally light bag.. offers the heat retention of a product three times its weight..provided an enviable level of comfort .. packed down.. absurdly small..super easy to transport."
THE FOLLOWING IS A REVIEW BY GRAHAM THOMPSON FIRST PUBLISHED IN TRAIL MAGAZINE Quantum bags are the lightest in the Cumulus range and they are designed to offer a superb warmth-to-weight ratio. So they use the best down available and combine this with superlight fabrics. To save a little more weight those in the Quantum range are slightly shorter and narrower than other Cumulus sleeping bags. DesignThe Cumulus Quantum 350 is designed to optimise performance for weight, so it makes use of a trapezoidal construction. This is like a box wall construction with sloping sides to each box and it results in a bag that is warmer than box wall as cold spots are reduced between each box of insulation. This is also a lighter construction method than V-shaped boxes. The down is also top-quality, being 870 fill power Polish goose down. These features are combined with Pertex Microlight fabrics that weigh in at only 50g/m2 and Pertex Quantum, which weighs 32g/m2. The bag is also made with a differential cut so the top of the bag has extra room to allow the insulation to ‘loft’ in the top of the bag. To save a little weight the Quantum range of bags are 217cm long, rather than the usual 220cm. Also they are 75cm wide at the shoulder when some bags are 80cm wide. All this adds up to make this bag extremely light at just 732g, plus 18g for the stuffsack.On the hillThe Cumulus Quantum 350 packs down amazing small, making it ideal for light backpacking trips. Pull the bag from the stuffsack and it instantly feels soft, while the down soon lofts to make this feel very cosy. There is a good, well-filled zip baffle down the length of the side zip. The shorter length of the bag was not a major problem for my 5ft 11½in frame.In the labAt 9.3TOG / -6.5 deg C the results of our lab test closely matched the temperature rating of the Cumulus Quantum 350.Size 217x75x50cmOuter fabric Pertex Quantum
