SkyeHigh Reviews

i first bought a sky high 800 and went camping on a day and night were it was below freezing and i was in a hammock, excellent didnt feel any cold whatsoever,now have purchased another skyhigh sleeping bag, well worth the money. p.s. brilliant delivery times too. thank you.

Have bought a skyhigh 600 sleeping bag from you, also a base mat. Really pleased with both—great value and quality. Onlt tried out on friends floor so far but heading for NZ later in the year, and they will be perfect!

I got my SkyeHigh 600 for my birthday in June and had to wait until the weather got colder before I could use it - it was just way too warm for summer use.

I have now used it on 4 separate outings (not including tests in the garden) and think that it’s brilliant. The overnight temperature on these trips varied from +8C to -5C and I have never been cold in it.

I have only ever used it out in the open in a Hunka bivi bag on either an old regular Airic or a new Airo 120. I just haven’t had an opportunity to use it in a tent, yet!

i purchased skyhigh 1000 on 22nd december and it arrived on 27th dec.. btw 24-25.12 is christmas time and i am from slovakia. that means bag was on long journey to east lands but problably with rocket in ass:)
hey guys i appreciate your approach and responsibility. the bag is well done, comparable to my coleman cloud x pro. value/price is unbeatable.
all my recommendation

Just back from the Cairngorms last weekend with the 1000 bag and slept like a baby for 3 nights in the snow! I only took a 35l rucksack so incl. cooking foooooood, tent, matt, clothes, rope, axe, helmet, harness didnt have a lot of space for a bag…1000 packed down a beaut, no worries! Aplkit is top kit! thank you ***** rating!!

Blimey! You guys are really on the ball. I ordered my Skyehigh 800 bag late Wednesday evening on line and to-day Friday at midday it arrived. Complete with a cheery handwritten Happy Christmas on the returns slip.
Well if the bag performs as well as it looks you will have to fight me for it back!
Looks and feels an incredible value for money product. Well made and just inviting you into it for a good comfy kip.
Until to-day a good down bag was beyond my means but you have made my Christmas and I cannot wait to try it out.
Thank you Alpkit! You will get very high recommendations from me. Great product and super fast service.

well every one has said it all i brought two bags a 600 and 800 both amazing i was so impressed i pretty much got every item i could bivi bags big and small, head torch, dry bags ,20l day sack, pegs, cuttlery set, rope, tent bag and i might just be tempted into more would have loved a pipe dream but im off arround the world befor they come in stock so have to deal with extra weight of the skyhigh. but 15/10 rating for alpkit well done

I bought my SH800 back in April and left a glowing review then, but I just wanted to pop back and say that I’ve now properly put it to the test on the Inca Trail in August.  It performed amazingly well!  I’m female and while I don’t seem to feel the cold quite as badly as other ladies (must be because I live in Scotland) I do still get pretty cold at night.  But I was completely toasty in this.  For the first two nights I slept in thermals, but on the third night we were at slightly lower altitude and I actual took off the thermals because I was too warm, and just slept in a t-shirt and some stretchy trousers.  This is pretty amazing considering that all my fellow trekkers were apparently sleeping in fleeces, scarves, hats and gloves!

I use it with a down-filled sleeping mat (not by Alpkit, sorry!) and the combination of the two means that I’m almost as comfy and cosy as I would be in my bed at home.

The only thing I’m disappointed by is the fact that I can’t buy a long sleeping bag with a right-hand zip.  I really want to get my partner one and since mine’s a leftie, it would be nice if I could get him one that would zip together with mine!

My Skyehigh 600 arrived today and goes on top of my wardrode for netx year.
the other one keeps me warm in my bed in the winter.
I used before on acycling holiday to Belgiunm Holland and France and it kept me warm. PacKs down easly, doesnt take up much room. Keep warmer than the Snagpack Kestrel that it replaced.

I’m fast becoming a fan of Alpkit gear, Your customer service is second to none and is often mentioned in the circles I move in (I’m a mountain leader).

I wanted a reasonably priced, fairly light sleeping bag for colder trips and the 800 sounded ideal. I used it a week ago (ordered Thursday, arrived Friday)in a bunkhouse in north Wales and was far too hot really although the temp’s went down to about 6*c - un-zipping it a bit solved this though.

Brecon beacons next weekend and Snowdonia for a week at the end of the month - doubt I’ll ever have any concerns temperature wise in the U.K. though there’s always the option of different clothing and a liner.

It’s super comfortable too and that fluffy, soft, squashy down is just the thing after a long, wet day.
