Details & Specs
Affordable yet well-made down sleeping bags for lightweight adventures are hard to come across, which is what makes the Hiker 300 Sleeping Bag from Black Wolf a total gem.
This bag is designed to be light and compact, making it an excellent choice for hiking, bike touring, or trekking. The fill is responsibly sourced 700+ loft water-repellent down, with a comfort temperature rating of +4° and a lower temperature limit of -1° making it good for mild conditions. It’s also tested to the international ISO23537:2016 standard for reliability. The hood can be adjusted with just one hand, the draft flap traps warmth from escaping out the zipper, the chest pocket makes it easy to stash valuables, you can easily air it out after use thanks to the hanging loop, and the night glow zipper is easy to locate in the dark.

Zips1 answer
Does it fully opens and can be use as a doona? Thanks
Juan - Margaret River, WA(4 years ago)
G'day Juan,
We've touched on this in another question, but ultimately no.
The zip on the side is only 7/8ths long, so you cannot fully unzip this one to lay flat.
You could open the side zip fully and use most of it as a doona, but you'd have a pocket at the base for your feet to go.
Similar to a hiking quilt!

Does this sleeping bag zip together if you get one left and one right sided zip?1 answer
Interested to know if it is possible to zip two together?
John - Prahran, VIC(5 years ago)
G'day John,
Yes, as far as we can tell you can zip two bags together if you get a left zipper and a right zipper. One thing to note is the zipper is only 7/8ths of the bag length, so you won't be able to individually adjust your foot temperature like some other down bags.

Comparing BW Hiker 300 vs. STS Tk1 (long)1 answer
Hi, Looking at the specs, this bag and the Sea to Summit Trek Tk1 (long) seem pretty comparable. What are the differences and how might I choose between the two? Thanks!
Rachel - Darlington(5 years ago)
Both are great bags, Rachel, there is no standout reason why you should buy one over the other but I'll try and help as best I can.
First thing to note is that Sea To Summit has a strong reputation in technical sleep systems and the Trek has been part of their range since the start with a number of improvements made along the way. Black Wolf is a little newer to the lightweight down bag range, and while I've no doubt they will perform, you don't see as many of them in the field as the Sea To Summit range in general.
Other things to point out are that the Trek probably has more wiggle room and comes in a little lighter, it also has vertical baffles over the torso which will increase efficiency. The Black Wolf Hiker bag has more of a mummy shape, heavier denier fabrics and weights a bit more, it also caters for a taller sleeper.
I would personally choose based on weight and/or price if I couldn't split the difference otherwise.

Storage options?1 answer
Does the Hiker 300 come with the loft/cotton, regular and compression stuff sacks?
Nina - Brunswick(6 years ago)
G'day Nina,
The Hiker bag comes with the lightweight compression sack plus a mesh storage sack for longer-term storage.

Would you suggest this for kokoda in August 1 answer
Going to png in August
Lana - Canning Vale(7 years ago)
G'day Lana,
We'd suggest doubling checking with your tour group but we think the temperature rating of the Hiker 300 should suit. Kokoda in August is pretty hot and humid so you might find a synthetic bag will suit your trip a little better. Maybe give us a call and we can chat through a few options.

Black wolf hiker 300 or black wolf equinox 300 for overland track in december1 answer
Which of the above mentioned sleeping bags would be recommended for the overland track in early December's this year? I will be sleeping on the STS comfort plus insulated mat and using a 75L blackwolf pack
Br add - Littlehampton (8 years ago)
G'day Bradd,
I've done a little research around temperatures that you're likely to encounter in December and it looks like the average overnight temp on the Overland sits at around the 5° mark. Obviously, being an average, there's a chance that you'll have nights that are both warmer and colder than the 5° mark. The Black Wolf Hiker 300 Sleeping Bag has a comfort temperature rating of 4°, so you'd most likely be pretty comfortable but if it gets really cold then you might have a few restless nights. The Equinox 300 is a warmer sleeping bag, with a comfort temperature rating of 0° but it's nearly twice the size and weight of the Hiker, so it'll take up a lot more room in your pack. It might be worth making the decision between whether the warmth or the size is a more important factor for you.
