  Product Description
The Outwell Contour Prime is a reversible sleeping bag that switches between two different temperature ratings depending which side faces up. When you flip it to show the darker side, it works down to 7°C comfort rating for women (2°C lower limit for men). Turn it over to the lighter side and those ratings shift to 16°C and 12°C respectively. This makes it genuinely useful across spring through autumn camping in the UK, rather than being tied to a single season. The L size measures 220 x 85 cm and suits people up to 190 cm tall, packing down to 42 x 22 cm in the included compression sack.

The 1000g Isofill recycled polyester filling sits in a double layer across the top section and single layer underneath, which keeps weight sensible at 1.5kg while focusing insulation where you need it most. The shell uses 230T microfibre polyester with a 190T brushed, embossed lining that feels soft against skin without being overly slippery. You get a removable pillow built into the structure (actually stays in place unlike some clip-on versions), plus a zip-off hood for when temperatures drop. The full-length baffle behind the two-way L-shaped zip stops cold air sneaking through, and corner loops let you attach a liner if you want extra warmth or easier washing.

You can unzip this completely to use as a duvet over your camp bed or airbed, which works well in warmer weather or indoors in a campervan. Two of these bags zip together into a double if you buy matching left and right zip versions, though this listing is the left-zip model. The main limitation is the pack size, which at 42 x 22 cm takes up decent rucksack space if you're backpacking rather than car camping. Outwell has made this PFAS-free, so no perfluorinated chemicals in the water-resistant treatment, and all the polyester filling comes from recycled sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the reversible temperature rating work on the Outwell Contour Prime?
The Contour Prime uses different coloured fabric sides with distinct thermal properties. When the darker black side faces upward it absorbs and retains more warmth, providing a 7°C comfort rating for women and 2°C lower limit for men. Flip the bag to show the lighter side and the different thermal properties shift the ratings to 16°C comfort and 12°C lower limit. The 1000g Isofill recycled polyester filling remains the same but the fabric interaction with ambient temperature changes the bag's performance. This dual-season design covers typical UK camping temperatures from spring through autumn without carrying multiple sleeping bags.
What's the difference between left zip and right zip versions?
The left zip version has the zipper on the left side when you're lying inside looking up, while the right zip version has it on the right. This matters if you want to connect two bags into a double sleeping bag. You need one left zip and one right zip bag to join them together. If you're buying a single bag, choose based on your sleeping preference. Right-handed people often prefer right zip versions for easier access, while left-handed campers typically find left zip more comfortable. The black Contour Prime model in this listing uses left zip configuration.
Can the Contour Prime handle winter camping in the UK?
The Contour Prime works best for spring, summer and autumn camping with a 2°C lower limit rating for men on the cold side. UK winter camping regularly drops below 0°C, particularly on clear nights when temperatures can hit minus 5°C or lower. The bag's double layer top and single layer bottom construction focuses on weight efficiency rather than extreme cold protection. For winter camping you'd need a bag rated to at least minus 5°C comfort or minus 10°C lower limit. The Contour Prime suits March through October camping in most UK locations but requires additional insulation like a liner or extra blankets for late autumn nights that dip below 2°C.
What does PFAS-free mean for this sleeping bag?
PFAS stands for per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, synthetic chemicals used in water-resistant treatments on outdoor gear. These chemicals persist in the environment and human body for extended periods. Outwell removed PFAS from the Contour Prime's water-resistant treatment, using alternative chemistry that provides moisture protection without perfluorinated compounds. The 230T microfibre polyester shell still repels light moisture and condensation but uses PFAS-free technology. This aligns with EU regulations restricting PFAS use in consumer products. The recycled polyester filling throughout the bag also reduces environmental impact compared to virgin polyester production.
How does the removable pillow attach to the Contour Prime?
The pillow integrates into the sleeping bag's structure at the head end rather than clipping on externally. This built-in design prevents the pillow sliding away during the night, which happens with separate clip-on models. You can remove the pillow completely if you prefer using your own camping pillow or clothing bundle. The attachment method secures the pillow to the bag's internal construction while allowing removal for washing or personal preference. The removable design also reduces packed size slightly if you choose to leave it at home on trips where you're carrying your own pillow.
What's the pack size compared to other sleeping bags?
At 42 x 22 cm in the compression sack, the Contour Prime occupies reasonable space for car camping or campervan storage but takes up substantial rucksack volume for backpacking trips. A typical lightweight backpacking bag compresses to around 30 x 15 cm or smaller. The Contour Prime's larger packed size comes from the 1000g Isofill filling and double layer construction that provides the dual temperature ratings. The 1.5kg weight also sits heavier than ultralight backpacking bags that weigh 500g to 900g. This bag suits camping where you drive to your pitch or have vehicle support rather than multi-day hiking where every gram and centimetre counts.
Can you wash the Contour Prime in a washing machine?
Sleeping bags with synthetic filling like the Contour Prime's Isofill polyester generally tolerate machine washing better than down bags, but check the care label for specific instructions. Use a large capacity front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with specialized technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener as it damages the lining and filling. The corner loops let you attach a sleeping bag liner, which reduces how often you need to wash the bag itself. Liners wash easily and protect the bag from body oils and dirt. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or air dry completely before storage to prevent mildew in the synthetic filling.
