Mont Warmlite 750 Sleeping Bag Hire
The Mont Warmlite 750 is a premium, cold-weather down sleeping bag available for hire from Wild Island Adventures. It is an excellent choice for hikers heading into Tasmania's colder conditions, particularly multi-day bushwalking, alpine trips and the Overland Track during the cooler months.
With a temperature range of approximately -1°C to -14°C, Mont classifies the Warmlite 750 as a 3-season bushwalking sleeping bag. Mont's ratings list -7°C for women/cold sleepers and -14°C for men/warm sleepers. Temperature ratings are a guide only and actual comfort depends on the individual, clothing, sleeping mat, shelter and conditions.
Premium 750+ Loft Down
The Warmlite 750 uses premium 750+ loft water-resistant down, providing a high level of insulation while keeping the sleeping bag relatively light for its warmth. The Standard-size bag weighs approximately 1,270 grams, making it a practical option for multi-day hiking where warmth and pack weight both matter.
The high-loft down is designed to trap warm air and provide efficient insulation around the body, making the Warmlite particularly useful when temperatures drop significantly overnight.
Designed for Cold Conditions
The Warmlite 750 is built specifically for cold to very cold bushwalking conditions. Its technical construction combines high-loft down with features designed to minimise heat loss.
It incorporates box-wall baffles, which help keep the insulation evenly distributed and reduce areas where cold spots can develop. A 3D draught tube along the zip helps prevent warm air escaping through the zipper area.
The sleeping bag also features a contoured 3D hood, helping provide additional insulation around the head and neck—particularly valuable on cold Tasmanian nights.
Water-Resistant Construction
One of the useful features for Tasmania's changeable conditions is the Warmlite's Hydronaute XT-R shell. Mont describes this technical fabric as offering water resistance and breathability, while the current XT-R shell is made from 100% recycled nylon. The lining is also made from recycled silk-touch nylon.
Mont also uses hydrophobic Epic thread in its sleeping bags. The silicone treatment helps reduce moisture wicking through the seams, helping the down remain drier and retain its insulating performance.
This doesn't make the sleeping bag waterproof, but it provides useful protection against the damp conditions commonly encountered when camping in Tasmania.
Flexible Zip System
The Warmlite 750 has both a full-length side zip and a foot zip, giving you greater control over ventilation.
In colder conditions, keeping the zips closed provides maximum insulation. When temperatures rise, the foot zip can be opened for ventilation, or both zips can be opened so the sleeping bag can be used more like a quilt. This makes the Warmlite more versatile across changing conditions.
Built for Tasmanian Hiking
The Warmlite 750 is particularly suited to hikers who want a warmer down sleeping bag for Tasmania's colder environments.
It's a great option for:
Overland Track
Tasmania winter hiking
Multi-day bushwalking
Alpine and high-country trips
Cold-weather camping
Three-season hiking
Remote wilderness trips
Hikers who feel the cold easily
For the Overland Track, where overnight temperatures can vary considerably and conditions can change rapidly, choosing an appropriate sleeping bag is an important part of preparing your equipment.
