Admittedly, I’m a very cold sleeper, so I always have to shave off a degree or two when considering the temperature ratings of bags. I also think the testing team was a little generous with the temperature ratings. The OEX Leviathan EV 900 has an impressive comfort rating but we wouldn’t recommend bivying in it (Image credit: Craig Taylor) At £270 (if bought at full price, £140 with a GO Outdoors membership card), I think you’ll have a hard time finding a bag that delivers a better bang for your buck (even if the color is a bit of a turn off). Moreover, the bag packs down small, especially if stuffed into a dry sack, comes with a handy internal stash pocket, and the plush inner liner is soft on your skin. And while there are bags out there that will deliver an equivalent level of warmth at a fraction of the weight, there’s simply no beating it at this price point. Weighing 1.37kg (3lb), the Leviathan EV 900 is also reasonably lightweight considering the temperatures this thing is built for. Featuring a thick baffle along the length of the side zip, as well as a huge baffle and lofty hood around the top of the bag, it’s built to keep you warm in colder climates – and in my experience, it does just that. It comes stuffed with 900g (30oz) of hydrophobic 600 fill-power ethically sourced duck down, and the shell is made from 20D nylon. The OEX Leviathan EV 900 has a sleeping bag comfort rating of -9☌ (15☏) and a lower limit of -16☌ (3☏). Compatability: Backpacking, trekking, winter camping.Fill: 900gsm / 600 fill power duck down.List price: £270 (£140 with a GO Outdoors membership card).
