Hello and welcome to my channel.... I hope you are feeling strong and well...

in this vlog im going to talk about the Vango Ultralight Pro 200 sleeping bag.

So just to put some context to this if you are new to my channel.
i am doing the st bees to robin hoods bay coast to coast in september this year.
and i intend to solo wildcamp all the way.
its an absoulute nightmare getting this base weight of my backpack down ...
So i have made lots of sacrifices and i have got it down from 20kg to 6.5kg
Now that is base weight.... No camera gear.
Now just over two weeks ago when we all had our freedom..... i did my first wildcamp of 2020 up on black hill overlooking the village og Holme
It all went well although it was very cold at night
I was using the Yellow Stone basics and it was no were near warm enough
So hear we are with the Vango Ultralight Pro 200 
It arrived faster than i thought it would so i have already tested it in my garden the other night and the temerature dropped to zero....
So lets first have a look at it..... It’s a three-season mummy shape sleeping bag, which means that it’s good for spring and autumn nights 
It has a hood and an extra lining around the shoulders, which helps to keep heat in. A two-way zip is handy for if you take it out in summer and get too hot.
It’s made from synthetic material rather than down but it certainly felt fluffy enough to be down.
 This, I believe, is down to the 4T synthetic insulation in the bag which helps to improve ‘warmth to weight ratio by trapping air in its patented channel structure’. 
I feel that synthetic technology has really caught up and really does keep you warm, especially if you’re likely to get a bit damp – it’s Britain and so, yes, there’s a high probability you will get a bit damp. Therefore we can also add water resistance to the tick list on this bag.
There’s also a small pocket to keep things like torch or phone handy.
When packing, the 1.1kg bag stuffed into the bottom of my 40l Osprey pack. I remember feeling reasonably surprised by how compact the bag was.
Now as i said earlier i tested this bag out in the garden i was also testing out The Rab Ridge Raider Bivi bag...But thats something i will talk to you about another time.
So yeah it was zero degrees that night
first impressions as i got into it lovely and warm.
I did feel that I wouldn’t want to be any taller otherwise I’d have struggled to get the hood up and over my head. As I’m not that tall at 5’6-7” this may be a struggle for some taller people. 
 The biggest difference came when I tightened that wonderful extra baffle around my neck and pulled the hood up over my head – the difference that made was unbelievable. 
Having tested it in zero/sub-zero temperatures I would definitely feel comfortable using this bag in spring and autumn – you know, the temperatures that its actually designed for –
