Oex evolution fathom ev 300 Sleeping bag review, Spring to autumn sleeping bag 

The loops on the foot end are for hanging it up for storage or drying.

Thanks for review. I bought one. Not used it. Handy hint for packing away. Lay on ground. Half bag long ways (so left meets right side) Rolling tightly from feet to head (let's air escape). But yes ramming it in works too with a light bag but with normal bags it's normally murder trying to squeeze a big heavy bag away. You're welcome Y

I remember my daft mates trying to get the lowest temperature rated sleeping bag from go outdoors years ago, and boiling alive when they used it

Watching this as I pack my backpack for a 5 day wild camp around the lakes tomorrow.and using the same sleeping bag had a about a yr now it’s been fine os far..and I stuff not roll..as all ways keep up the vids..👍

Thanks Dan for taking the time ro review it. I would call it a toggle pal

First off..love your vids...the tabs are to hang it up either at camp to air/dry or at home when not used. All bag manufacturers recommend storing outside the stuff sack to keep 'loft' In the baffles of the bags. With temp ratings is best to keep in mind the individual's limit not the bag. Atb have fun 😎

The big advantage of this bag is that it's longer and wider than a lot of the competition. So great if you're taller or wider, or just prefer s little more space in a mummy bag. Downside is of course that you have more air to heat up inside. Lack of shoulder baffle has already been mentioned. Whether that's a good thing or not is a personal preference.

Very few people understood the first two words 😆 Thanks for the video man it was helpful

top post pall,the non sticking zip banding is a super idea...... peace pall

Great review, this is the sleeping bag I am looking at and this has sealed the deal for me, thanks.

Those loops at the end of the foot box are used to hang the bag to dry or store.

I have this sleeping bag and have no complaints about, it does the job it's meant to. I stuff the sleeping bag in the stuff sack.

Another great video Dan keep them coming mate

Thanks for doing the video, the loops are for hanging it up, seems like a good bag, cheers mate 👍

I literally bought one of these tonight from go outdoors. £35 with the membership card. Can’t argue with the price. I’m doing a summit camp on the 28th so I will find out. I went in for a 3season sleeping pad cause I’ve lost mine and don’t fancy taking my exped9 down pad in august 🥵

quick release cord toggle , good vid tho mate good effort

Just got the same bag pal, it’s a good bag would highly recommend it. Keep up the good work 👍

Was looking at this sleeping bag today, great review mate.

I was always taught to roll a sleeping bag to prevent the fibres/feathers getting crushed and removes air.

That bag, liner and a bivvy should be good for all year round in the uk i reckon😇

Great review 👍 Like what they've done with zip to alleviate snagging to ensure smooth opening and closing of bag. All the best 👍

Would you say it's really a summer to early autumn bag only? Just ordered from Millets for £34 or something like that. Seemed a decent price.

Awesome buddy .. great review .. cheers Chris & Sam

It’s like back in the old English Navy days when the man at the front of the ship would throw a line in the water to measure how deep the water was and it was measured in the name of the sleeping bag fathoms if that’s any help for your pronunciation

Hi, could you tell me if this bag is warm when the temperature drops at night and do you have plenty of room around the shoulders? Cheers...good review

A good review - thanks. How well did your daughter sleep - or should I look at a different review? :) And I really appreciate the time and commitment and confidence that so many people put in to keeping us informed and inspired about gear, routes, camping options... I have an OEX 300 down bag - a couple of years old - maybe they are moving to synthetic? Mine is pretty light at 750g with slightly different temperature ratings. (Extreme -19C). It is a great mix of red and black and was comfortable down to 3c the other night. ( A 14-mile ramble around Norfolk followed by a garden camp!) Unfortunately, I began to consider my choices... I think OEX stuff will be fine unless taken to the extreme. I have a number of Chinese copies of tents and stoves, similar to the far more expensive, Chinese manufactured US and European branded items. They are not quite the same, but would we notice? (Latest is a nearly Big Agnes Tiger Wall 2 - under £60 with no pockets or hanging loop.) An aside; Inflatable mats... are they just ski slopes? Is blowing them up storing infection for the future! I have an OEX mat that I struggle to stay on unless the ground is completely level - and wonder what happens to any air left inside once deflated! I've walked and camped for over 40 years... often 'quiet-camped' - never 'wild-camped'! (I think that this is what most of us try to do!) Perhaps we should refocus our language! This isn't meant to be a rant! With the predicted weather, looking forward to checking how well the tent reproofing has gone! :) (10 tents!)

Recommend any good winter sleeping bags? Any tips too when browsing for a sleeping bag

Hiya mate U sound like Ur from north west of England Lancashire area? If that's the case I'm from the same area and just wondering if you know any good places/areas for wild camping?

A 600g down bag would be a good replacement for this and so much smaller when packed up.

The togggle loops are for hanging it up to air or dry at home

Great review,STUFF!

Excellent review as always brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎 best wishes

Great review, this will be the one I purchase

Great review Dan thanks for sharing 👍 ady

Great little review Dan, Thanks. How is it for fit around your shoulders when in it? it says the internal dimension is 77cm with external of 80cm. Is that comfortable for you? I'm a bit larger than you so I'd be interested to know. Thanks mate, stay safe and virus free atb. Paul

I tried this but couldn't get on with it (it felt cold and restrictive). Ended up taking it back as the stitching on the bag bust

Nice vid 👍 what's the toe box measurements? I am guessing 50cm? I don't really like mummy bags, any recommendations? I am looking for a 3 season sleeping bag, around 1kg, small pack size - not too expensive!

The loops are to hanging it put when you not used

Does it pack down small?

Stuffed it just reet Hanging from the foot 👍🏻 You can say the name of the bag. Say:- Fa - Thumb 👍🏻

Just bought this today

For a shop own brand, the OEX range is actually good.

Stuff mate especially if downs or the life of sleeping bag will be reduced

just ordered it.

Hey buddy, great channel. New subscriber here. Do you fancy working together somehow ? Maybe a tag video. Ben, from bushcraft basics with Ben 🥰

I think the word you were looking for is TOGGLE

Great review, however I purchased the EV900 and was very disappointed with the warmth ratings. I quickly upgraded to a Rab ascent 900. I always stuff my sleeping bags for trips and hang them in sacks for storage. I have always thought if you roll or fold your sleeping the same way you can get thin spots/fatigue

toggle.. I think its a toggle on the pullstring.. I prefer a quilt myself, I use the snugpack hamock quilt as a sleeping bag.. even when sleeping on the ground. if its cold I wear my jacket and wrap another hammock quilt round my legs.. did buy a sleeping bag for winter but I tried it an I don't like it.. I feel anyone might come along and beat me on the head with a club and theres me, all tied up in a sleeping bag like a damned lamb to the slaughter.. no thanks, I like to think I can pounce out my sleep system and be on em before they know whats hit em.. ;)

Fathom is pronounced fa-vum 👍 for future reference

It's pronounced faaa the ommmm but say it quick.
