Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag (−5°)

G'day Hank,

Yes, the bag is primarily black with some grey - the same colours as the sleeping bag itself.

G'day Sianna,

Unfortunately there isn't any sleeping bags in our range that are suitable for hiking in this budget, that will be long enough for your partner.
The closest option would be the Traverse TV3 in the long size.

G'day Cat,

Yes, The Roman Palm Passport range is machine washable under a few conditions:
Gentle or handwash cycle in a Front Loader only
Use low residue detergents such as wool wash or Lux flakes.

Sleeping bags can be a pain to get dry though, so the best option initially would be to use a sleeping bag liner to wash instead of the whole bag, or spot clean/sponge clean the bag if required. 

G'day Ana,

Yes, the Palm Passport can be fully unzipped and opened up to use a quilt/blanket in warmer weather.

G'day Adam,

The max user height is 180cm tall, however, based on other reviews, you might find it is a bit on the shorter site for you. Feel free to flick us an email or give us a call and we should be able to recommend some options depending on the features you're needing.

G'day Ben,

The stuff sack for the Palm Passport is lightweight nylon, so it won't provide any waterproofing/water resistance. WE'd suggest stowing it in your luggage or grabbing a lightweight dry sack to store it in.

G'day Richard,

I'd recommend looking at the Roam Silktex liners in either a rectangular or mummy shape, but if you'd prefer the comfort of cotton they also make rectangular and mummy options there for you. They'll just be a bit bigger/heavier than the Silktex. I try to avoid using the 'travel' liners with the pillowcase attached as you really don't need it in a sleeping bag. 

At 186cm the user will be right on the edge of suitability for this sleeping bag Betissa, my recommendation would be to look for something longer. The Extremelite is a little longer, and cheaper, but not nearly as warm or efficient. The next option is more expensive but is a much better bag, this bag is the Sea To Summit Voyager.

Black Wolf has a new bag called the Equinox, and I've just noticed that these are not online. They are in a similar price range to the Roman Palm series and look to be about 5-10 cm longer than the Palm series too. I'll work on getting these online in the next few days.

G'day Nathan,

The -5° rating on the Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag (-5°) is the comfort rating temp. 

G'day Nathan,

I reckon you'd be on a winner there, during summer in Tassie the Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag should suit you well. 

G'day Peter,

The Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag has an internal chest girth of 140cm. So whilst it'll be a little tight, you should still be able to fit into it relatively comfortably. 

G'day Rob, 

I've just re-measured the Roman Palm Passport, and the internal length of the bag up to the hood is 185cm, so I think this model is a little bit too small for your height Rob. 

Hi Carolyn, I think that this sleeping bag is not going to be warm enough for the Overland Track in the middle of winter. You should consider one of the Sea to Summit down bags - I would suggest something in the -15 degree range to make sure that you get a good nights sleep. Also look at the comfort rating - for example the Sea to Summit Talus TSIII is -17 lower limit, -9 comfort. I hope this helps, if you'd like to discuss further feel free to give us a call!

Hey Jack, from the Sea To Summit range you'e need either a small or medium compression sack. The small will be a tight fit and you'll need to put a bit of muscle into packing your sleeping bag into it, whilst the medium will accommodate the bag comfortably.

You certainly can Blair, as a general rule if two bags have been ordered we will send one left and one right handed zipper so you can join them, but feel free to call us once your order is placed to ensure you are delivered alternate sided sips.

2/7/19 Update - Just a heads up, we now have the option to select this from the drop-down menu when you add it to the bag.
