{"product_id":"vango-nitestar-alpha-junior-quad-seaport","title":"Vango Nitestar Alpha Junior Quad Sleeping Bag - Seaport Blue","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVango Nitestar Alpha Junior Quad Sleeping Bag: Award-Winning Warmth for Young Adventurers\u003c\/h2\u003e The Vango Nitestar Alpha Junior Quad is an award-winning sleeping bag, specifically designed for younger campers and officially part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Recommended Kit. Perfect for DofE expeditions, school camps, and family adventures, this bag delivers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio in a practical, comfortable, and durable package. Its thoughtful features and reliable performance make it a trusted choice for the next generation of explorers.\u003ch3\u003eDesigned Specifically for Junior Campers\u003c\/h3\u003e Tailored for comfort and safety, this sleeping bag is proportioned for users up to 155cm tall (approximately ages 8-14). The quad shape provides a roomy square foot area, allowing for natural movement and a more comfortable sleep. Unlike adult models, the ergonomically shaped hood features an elasticated drawcord for safety, effectively reducing heat loss without any risk of entanglement—a crucial design consideration for younger users.\u003ch3\u003eSuperior Warmth Without the Bulk\u003c\/h3\u003e Weighing just 1.45kg, the Nitestar Alpha Junior is remarkably lightweight and compressible, making it easy to pack for hikes and expeditions. This performance is achieved through Vango's Alpha Insulation—a clever 50\/50 blend of polyester and siliconised hollow fibres. The siliconised coating reduces friction, preventing the insulation from clumping and enhancing water repellence, while the hollow fibres trap more air for increased warmth retention. The Offset Construction, a double-layer design with offset stitching, further eliminates cold spots to maximise thermal efficiency, giving it a comfortable 10.0 tog rating suitable for 2-3 season use.\u003ch3\u003eRobust and Practical for Outdoor Adventures\u003c\/h3\u003e Built to withstand the rigours of outdoor life, the bag features a Polair Hex shell. This 68D polyester fabric is strong and durable, with a distinctive embossed hex grid finish that is also soft to the touch. Inside, the super-soft Polair brushed microfibre lining ensures a cosy feel against the skin. Practical features include an auto-lock two-way zip that prevents the bag from opening accidentally during the night, an insulated zip baffle and a zip guard with anti-catch piping to stop draughts and snags, and a handy internal pocket for storing a torch or watch. After the adventure, it’s easy to air with the integrated hanging loops.\u003ch3\u003eTrusted Quality for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award\u003c\/h3\u003e Its inclusion in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Recommended Kit list underscores the Nitestar Alpha's quality, reliability, and suitability for the demands of youth expeditions. Parents and group leaders can trust that this sleeping bag will keep young adventurers warm, comfortable, and well-rested after a day of challenges.","brand":"Vango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52606802592085,"sku":"SB457","price":35.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/0607\/2917\/files\/Nitestar-Alpha-Junior-Quad-001_x1920_df46a1f7-c080-49ec-877a-028762aab7d7.webp?v=1771606919","url":"https:\/\/premiercamping.com\/products\/vango-nitestar-alpha-junior-quad-seaport","provider":"Premier Camping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
