A sophisticated sleeping bag that is warm and comfortable and great value.
Vango says:
New for our 2020 collection the distinctive shaped Cobra offers an extremely lightweight option for those setting out trekking, bike packing or those out for an adventure where they can pack light and get around faster. The Cobra has Welded Box Wall Construction. Box shaped baffle channels filled with Down ensure maximum loft and an even distribution of down from head to toe. It has also been engineered to be ergonomically shaped to fit around head and shoulders for improved heat retention. In addition, it has a new 20D 380T Nylon Outer Shell fabric which is durable and water-resistant, enhancing its longevity and benefits from Thermal-Reverb which radiates your body heat for maximum warmth.
Our Verdict
Vango's Cobra 400 Down Sleeping Bag has some top drawer features such as box wall construction. This is usually reserved for high altitude, alpine sleeping bags but Vango have managed to add it to their Cobra bags whilst keeping the price very reasonable.
A full-length, two-way zip will give you endless options when you want to vent out some of the heat in the middle of the night.
Overall, you get a lot of bang for your buck with the Cobra. It's an excellent choice for those wanting to enter the market of technical, high-end sleeping bags.
