Hi i am looking for some sleeping bags and have narrowed it down to the Vango nitestar 450SG or the Vango sonno Grande.

My kids use the Nitestar and i know its warm but i like the sound of the Sonno Grande as its wider.  I find the ratings confusing and its not as easy as comparing the numbers, they seem to have changed the format also one gives a tog rating and the other doesn't??

Which would you guys plump for for warmth.

thanks in advance. 

hi

look for the fill weight - 250/350/450. 250 is too cold for this country even in summer, 450 will be heavy and bulky but nice and warm. Get a fluffy fleece blanket and tuck it around, you can throw it off if too warm. the thing to remember is that sleeping bags keep the warmth in so if you go to bed cold you will probably stay cold.

Not sure what this means and which is heaviest??

Cheers that makes sense, sorry for being dense but can't stand being cold and we are going away at the start of June so want to get sleeping bags soon.
