Frequently Asked Questions
The Vango Stellar Double has been independently tested to EN ISO 23537-1:2022 standards. While Vango hasn't published specific comfort and limit temperatures for this model, the Grade A fill with double layer construction and ThermoLock insulation makes it suitable for spring, summer and autumn camping in the UK. The EN testing means the ratings are verified by independent labs rather than manufacturer estimates.
Yes, the Vango Stellar range is designed so two single bags can zip together to create a double. You'll need matching left and right zip bags from the same Stellar range. This gives you flexibility to use separate bags when camping solo or zip them together for couples trips. The zips need to be compatible, so check both bags have the connecting zip system.
The Polair shell is machine washable, but you need a large capacity machine as double sleeping bags take up significant space. Use a gentle cycle with specialist sleeping bag cleaner or mild detergent, never fabric softener as it damages the insulation. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Dry flat or hang using the hanging loops, turning regularly. Tumble dry on low heat if your machine is big enough, adding tennis balls to break up clumps. Make sure it's completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
Vango hasn't published exact packed dimensions for the Stellar Double, but expect it to be significantly larger than a single bag when compressed in the stuffsack. Double sleeping bags typically pack to around 35-40cm length and 25-30cm diameter. This makes it bulkier than lightweight backpacking gear, so it's better suited to car camping, caravanning or campervan trips where pack size isn't as critical. The stuffsack with drawcord helps compress it as much as possible.
The Stellar Double provides enough width for two average-sized adults, though exact dimensions aren't specified by Vango. The square shape gives more room than tapered mummy bags. If you're both over 6 feet tall or prefer lots of space, it might feel snug. One person gets plenty of room to spread out, which is why some solo campers choose double bags for the extra space. The shaped hood is designed for one person, so the second person won't have head insulation unless you use separate pillows.
ThermoLock is Vango's high loft synthetic insulation that maintains warmth even when damp. Synthetic fills keep insulating when wet better than down, which clumps and loses warmth. This matters in British camping conditions where condensation inside tents or unexpected rain can dampen your sleeping bag. The insulation stays lofted rather than collapsing flat, trapping air to keep you warm. It dries faster than down too.
The auto-lock mechanism stops the zip from sliding open during the night when you move around. You need to actively release the lock to open it, preventing the bag from unzipping accidentally and letting cold air in. The two-way design means you can open from top or bottom, useful for ventilation control when you get too warm. You can operate both zips from inside the bag without struggling to reach outside.
The Stellar Double is built for three-season camping rather than winter conditions. The Grade A fill with double layer construction handles mild frost and autumn temperatures, but proper winter camping below freezing needs a bag with higher insulation ratings. You could extend its season by wearing thermals inside or adding a sleeping bag liner, but it's designed for spring through autumn use. Check the EN ISO temperature ratings to match your expected conditions.
