  Product Description
The Vango Atlas Junior Sleeping Bag uses a 148cm internal length that's designed specifically for children and smaller adults. It's a proper mummy-shaped bag, meaning it tapers from shoulders down to feet, which keeps kids warmer than rectangular bags whilst taking up less space in your pack. With an 8.5 TOG rating and ThermoLock insulation, it handles spring through autumn camping trips comfortably, and you'll find it performs well in temperatures down to around 5°C when kids are dressed in appropriate sleepwear.

The construction features single-layer stitch-through design with what Vango calls Insulation Lock S-stitching, holding the synthetic fill evenly across the entire bag. You get a Polair 190T polyester outer shell and brushed polyester microfibre lining that's genuinely soft against skin. The two-way zip means you can ventilate from the bottom when it's warmer, and the hood is elasticated rather than drawcord-adjusted, which is a sensible safety feature for younger children. Everything is machine washable, which matters when you're dealing with muddy camping trips and inevitable spills.

This bag comes with a stuffsack and compression straps, packs down reasonably small, and includes hanging loops for drying after wet weather. The zip has a woven puller that's easier for small hands to grip than metal tabs. One thing to note is that the 148cm internal length suits kids up to about 5ft tall, check your child’s measurements before buying so you can choose the ideal size for maximum comfort now, and easily size up later as they grow.

Frequently Asked Questions


What age range is the Vango Atlas Junior Sleeping Bag suitable for?
The Atlas Junior fits children and petite adults up to approximately 148cm tall, which typically covers ages 6 to 12 years old depending on the child's height. The 148cm internal length provides comfort for kids up to about 5ft tall. The elasticated hood is a safety feature designed for younger children, and the mummy shape works well for keeping smaller bodies warm without excess material.
What does the 8.5 TOG rating mean for camping temperatures?
An 8.5 TOG rating means the Atlas Junior provides moderate insulation suitable for spring, summer and autumn camping in the UK. This translates to comfortable sleeping in temperatures down to approximately 5°C when children wear appropriate sleepwear like pyjamas and socks. For colder nights below 5°C, you'll need additional layers or a warmer sleeping bag. The TOG rating is the same thermal measurement used for duvets, making it familiar for parents.
How do you wash the Vango Atlas Junior Sleeping Bag?
The Atlas Junior is machine washable using a gentle cycle with cool water and mild detergent. Use a front-loading washing machine or large capacity top loader without an agitator to avoid damaging the insulation. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry using the built-in hanging loops. The ThermoLock insulation maintains its loft through multiple wash cycles. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the insulation's performance.
What's the difference between a mummy shaped bag and a rectangular sleeping bag for children?
The mummy shape tapers from shoulders to feet, creating less internal airspace that the child's body needs to heat. This design provides better thermal efficiency than rectangular bags and packs down smaller for easier transport. The Atlas Junior's mummy shape includes an ergonomically designed hood that reduces heat loss from the head area. Rectangular bags offer more room to move but are bulkier and less thermally efficient for camping trips.
Can you zip two Vango Atlas Junior sleeping bags together?
The Atlas Junior uses a single zip configuration that runs along one side of the bag. To zip two bags together, you would need one with a left-hand zip and one with a right-hand zip. Vango doesn't specify whether the Atlas Junior is available in both zip configurations. The two-way zip on this model is designed for ventilation control from either the top or bottom of the bag rather than coupling with another sleeping bag.
What is ThermoLock insulation and how does it perform when wet?
ThermoLock is Vango's synthetic insulation technology that uses high-loft fibres designed to retain warmth even when damp. Synthetic insulation like ThermoLock performs better than down when wet because the fibres don't clump together and continue to trap air for insulation. The Grade A insulation fill in the Atlas Junior maintains its loft through compression and moisture exposure. This makes it practical for children's camping where spills and condensation are common concerns.
How small does the Atlas Junior pack down in its stuffsack?
The Atlas Junior comes with a stuffsack and drawcord compression system. As a synthetic-filled mummy bag with single-layer construction, it packs down to a manageable size for children to carry in their own rucksacks. The exact packed dimensions aren't specified, but synthetic insulation typically compresses to roughly the size of a standard rugby ball for junior sleeping bags. The mummy shape reduces pack size compared to rectangular designs of the same warmth rating.
Why is the hood elasticated rather than having a drawcord?
The elasticated hood on the Atlas Junior is a safety feature for children. Drawcords can pose a strangulation risk if they become tangled or pulled during sleep, particularly with younger children who move around frequently. The elasticated design still provides head coverage and warmth retention without the safety concerns of adjustable cords. This follows UK safety standards for children's sleeping products whilst maintaining thermal efficiency around the head and neck area.
