The Mammut Women’s Relax Down Bag -2C is a great product for colder conditions when weight really matters.
This lighter weight bag just meets the criteria for our winter sleeping bags, so if you are a cold sleeper or it’s going to be consistently below -2C, I recommend you choose another bag or wear a down jacket and thick socks. However, it is a great product for colder conditions when weight really matters.

The length is great and made to fit women of between 165cm to 180cm height. The width gives room for some movement inside the bag.
The soft feel fabric on the inside of the large hood is a brilliant extra feature because it means your ears are not filled with the sound of sleeping bag when you move about at night. You could muffle even more noise – and the sounds of snoring fellow sleepers – with the handily provided ear plugs. There is also an eye mask tucked into a mesh pocket in the compression bag.
The inside of the bag is bright orange, which is a brilliant feature because art makes it easier to see the bag at night. The compression sack is also made in the same bright colour so you can spot it even in a bag of kit or the corner of a tent. I like the central two-way zip that is big and easy to use. The zip baffle is just big enough to cover the back of the zip and no more.
An adjustable cord at the shoulders allows you to cinch the bag around you and keep out drafts, but a shoulder baffle would be a useful extra. There is also an internal zipped pocket for storing valuables, although if the items are too big, you will end up lying on top of them.
Mammut have added a list of eco-friendly credits, such as bluesign certification, PFC-DWR, RDS and “Fair Wear” to ensure fair and safe working conditions in garment factories. All these are recognisable, however the mention of ”contains recycled materials” needs more clarification for customers to fully understand what the sleeping bag is made of.
Testing conditions
Fiona is 173cm tall and UK10. She is a cold sleeper. She is also a side sleeper and likes to be able to move her legs around and curl up inside a sleeping bag. These bags were tested in winter temperates below 0C.
