A good sleeping bag is important. A single night's sleep can be more brutal on the body than all the mountains on a tour put together. We tried out the Yeti Passion Three down sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag is to mountain bike adventurers what the charger is to batteries. If you can't rest at night because you're shivering from the cold, your performance the next morning will be limited. But the choice of model is like roulette: Will it be cold? Or will it be warm? Either way, small pack size and low weight are the trump cards. If you're planning to spend the night on a warm summer's night, the Passion from the Görlitz outdoor manufacturer is the perfect sleeping bag. The top-quality handmade sleeping bag is filled with down and weighs a record-breaking 320 grams in the One version. The Passion Three, which we tested in the rugged wilderness of Colorado, weighs slightly more at 530 grams, but is still cosy enough for a deep regenerative sleep even at 5 degrees Celsius.
