As part of our practical test, we thoroughly examined the flannel sleeping bag for children and documented the results using the specified test methods. The sleeping bag immediately impresses with its soft, skin-friendly flannel lining, which feels pleasant on the skin and does not cause any annoying noises. Thanks to the high-quality 300 g/m² filling , the warmth remains reliably inside even on cool nights, so children always feel cosily wrapped up. The windproof collar is a particularly positive feature, as it provides additional warmth and keeps cold air out. The two-way zip at the foot end is also a well-thought-out detail: it allows for quick ventilation if it gets too warm inside the sleeping bag without losing all the insulation. The water-repellent polyester cover provides reliable protection against moisture, such as morning dew or light splashes. However, the protection is not sufficient for adverse weather conditions or heavy rain. With a pack size of 37 × 20 × 20 cm, the sleeping bag can be stored compactly and is easy to take along on family trips with lots of luggage. Stowing away is quick and easy. At 1.4 kg, the product is pleasantly lightweight. It is not light, but offers excellent thermal performance, with a comfort range of up to 7 °C. The weight is easily manageable for children. The outer material is easy to wipe clean, so minor stains can be quickly removed. For more thorough cleaning, the sleeping bag is machine washable without damaging the material. The zips also work reliably and can be operated easily even after repeated washing. Overall, the flannel sleeping bag for children offers a good combination of comfort, functionality and practicality.
