Mont Zodiac Sleeping Bag Hire

The Mont Zodiac 700 is a warm, comfortable and durable down sleeping bag available for hire from Wild Island Adventures. It is a particularly good option for hikers heading into Tasmania’s cooler and more exposed environments, including multi-day walks and the Overland Track.

The Zodiac series is designed with a little more room than many technical sleeping bags, making it a good choice for hikers who prefer some extra space while sleeping. The Zodiac 700 is Mont’s warmest Zodiac model and is rated as a 4-season sleeping bag, with Mont listing a temperature rating of -3°C for cold sleepers and -10°C for warm sleepers. Temperature ratings are a guide only and individual comfort varies depending on clothing, sleeping mat, shelter, weather and personal tolerance.

Premium Down Insulation

The Zodiac 700 uses premium white duck down with a 680+ loft rating, providing a high level of insulation without requiring an excessively bulky sleeping bag. The down has a water-resistant treatment designed to help maintain loft in damp conditions.

The sleeping bag uses a differential cut, which provides more space between the inner and outer shells. This helps reduce compression of the down and minimise potential cold spots.

Designed for Tasmania's Conditions

Tasmania's weather can change quickly, particularly in alpine and high-country areas. The Zodiac 700 is suited to colder camping and three- to four-season use, including conditions above the snowline. Its combination of down insulation, adjustable ventilation and a generous fit makes it a practical choice for hikers preparing for colder nights on the trail.

The sleeping bag also features hydrophobic Epic thread in the seams, designed to reduce moisture wicking through the stitching and help keep the down drier.

Practical Features

The Mont Zodiac includes:

• Premium high-loft down insulation

• Generous sleeping dimensions for increased comfort

• Contoured hood with drawcord

• Full-length side zip with dual sliders

• Foot zip for additional ventilation

• Large 3D draft tube to reduce heat loss through the zip

• Internal shoulder collar to help retain warmth

• Internal zippered security pocket

• Toaster foot pocket for use with an air-activated heat pack

• Durable tuck-stitched baffles

• YKK zips

• Supplied with a compression stuff sack and storage bag

Ideal for Multi-Day Hiking

For hikers hiring equipment rather than purchasing a sleeping bag, the Mont Zodiac provides a quality down option without needing to invest in a sleeping bag that may only be used occasionally.

It is well suited to Tasmania hiking, the Overland Track, winter camping, alpine walking, multi-day bushwalking and other cold-weather adventures.

Hire the Mont Zodiac sleeping bag from Wild Island Adventures and pair it with our hiking packs, tents, sleeping mats and other essential hiking gear for your Tasmanian adventure.

Mont Evo Super Synthetic Sleeping Bag Hire

The Mont Evo Super is a warm, reliable and versatile synthetic sleeping bag available for hire from Wild Island Adventures. It is the warmest model in Mont’s Evolution synthetic sleeping bag range and is designed for three-season hiking, bushwalking, camping and travel.

With a temperature rating of 0°C for cold sleepers and -6°C for warm sleepers, the Evo Super is a practical choice for hikers heading into cooler conditions. Temperature ratings are a guide only, and actual comfort will depend on the individual, clothing, sleeping mat, shelter and weather conditions.

Synthetic insulation

The Evo Super uses hollow-core synthetic insulation, making it a great alternative to a down sleeping bag. Synthetic insulation is particularly practical for hiking and camping where moisture and damp conditions can be a concern. Mont states that the synthetic insulation used in its Evo range is highly water resistant and absorbs less than 1% of its weight in water.

The insulation uses Mont's Shingle Baffle Construction, where layers of insulation overlap to improve warmth and help minimise cold spots. Mont describes this construction as providing an efficient combination of warmth, weight and compactness compared with traditional quilted synthetic sleeping bags.

Designed for comfortable nights on the trail

The Evo Super has a tapered rectangular shape with a wider foot area, giving you more room to move than a very narrow technical sleeping bag. A contoured hood with a drawcord helps retain warmth around your head, while the insulated draft tube along the zip helps reduce heat loss.

The full-length side zip and foot zip provide useful flexibility. On colder nights, the sleeping bag can be fully enclosed for maximum warmth. In warmer conditions, the zips can be opened to increase ventilation or allow the bag to be opened out more like a quilt.

Durable construction

The Evo Super features a 40-denier ripstop nylon outer shell and 40-denier nylon lining, providing a practical balance of durability, comfort and weight. It also incorporates an anti-snag zip shield and hydrophobic Epic thread designed to reduce moisture wicking through the seams.

The sleeping bag weighs approximately 1.61 kg in the Standard size and packs down to approximately 21 × 28 cm, making it practical for multi-day hiking while still providing substantial insulation.

Why hire the Mont Evo Super?

Hiring the Evo Super is a good option if you need a dependable sleeping bag for a Tasmanian adventure without purchasing specialist camping equipment.

It is particularly suited to:

• Tasmania hiking

• Multi-day bushwalking

• Camping and car camping

• The Overland Track

• Cooler-weather hiking

• Three-season camping

• Wilderness adventures

• Travellers who need quality gear without buying it

Your Wild Island Adventures hire version also includes an inner sheet, providing an additional layer between you and the sleeping bag.

A practical alternative to down

For hikers who prefer synthetic insulation, the Evo Super offers a number of advantages. Synthetic insulation is generally less affected by moisture than down and can be a particularly practical choice for Tasmania's changeable weather.

For customers hiring gear for a Tasmanian hiking trip, the Evo Super is a warm, robust and versatile sleeping bag that provides reliable insulation without the higher purchase cost of a premium down sleeping bag.

Hire the Mont Evo Super from Wild Island Adventures and combine it with our hiking tents, sleeping mats, packs and other essential hiking gear for your Tasmania adventure.

We have a range of tents to suit your needs:

Our super light One Planet Goondie 1 and Goondie 2 tents are a great 4 season option for the solo walker or twin share.

We also have Wilderness Equipment i-Explore 3 person tents - perfect for base camping or sharing your load with 2 mates.

Therm-a-Rest Sleeping Mat Hire

Get a better night's sleep on the trail with a Therm-a-Rest sleeping mat, available for hire from Wild Island Adventures. A good sleeping mat is an essential part of your hiking kit, providing comfort between you and the ground while also helping insulate your body from cold surfaces.

Therm-a-Rest is a well-known name in outdoor sleeping equipment, with sleeping mats designed specifically for camping, hiking and backcountry adventures. Their lightweight construction makes them a practical choice for multi-day walks where keeping your pack weight under control is important.

Comfortable Sleeping on the Trail

After a long day of hiking, having a comfortable sleeping surface can make a big difference. The mat provides cushioning between your body and the ground, helping you rest more comfortably inside your tent.

The mat can also be adjusted to your preferred firmness by adding or releasing air, allowing you to find a level of support that suits you. Therm-a-Rest's self-inflating models use foam insulation inside the mat, while their air mattresses use an air-filled construction, depending on the model.

Ideal for Tasmania Hiking

A quality sleeping mat is particularly important when camping in Tasmania, where overnight temperatures can drop quickly and conditions can be damp and cold.

Our Therm-a-Rest mats are suitable for a wide range of adventures, including:

• Overland Track

• Tasmania hiking and bushwalking

• Multi-day wilderness walks

• Camping trips

• Alpine and cooler-weather adventures

• Weekend hiking trips

• Backpacking and travelling

• 3.2r value

Lightweight and Easy to Carry

When you're carrying everything you need for several days on your back, every item needs to earn its place. Therm-a-Rest sleeping mats provide a practical balance between comfort, insulation and packability, making them well suited to multi-day hiking.

The mat packs down for transport and can be easily carried with the rest of your camping equipment.

Hire Instead of Buy

If you're visiting Tasmania for a hiking trip, hiring a sleeping mat can save you from purchasing and transporting bulky camping equipment that you may only use occasionally.

At Wild Island Adventures, you can hire your sleeping mat alongside other essential hiking equipment, including sleeping bags, hiking tents, backpacks, rain jackets, waterproof overpants, gaiters and cooking equipment.

Heading out on the Overland Track or another Tasmanian hiking adventure? Hire a quality Therm-a-Rest sleeping mat from Wild Island Adventures and make a comfortable night's sleep part of your gear setup.

Wilderness Equipment Outbreak Bushwalking Pack Hire

The Wilderness Equipment Outbreak is a rugged, reliable bushwalking pack designed for hikers who need a durable pack capable of handling multi-day adventures. Available for hire from Wild Island Adventures, it is a practical choice for the Overland Track, Tasmania hiking, camping and extended bushwalking trips.

Built with durability and long-term use in mind, the Outbreak uses hard-wearing synthetic materials and a strong internal frame system. Its straightforward design makes it particularly well suited to hikers who value reliability, comfort and practical storage over unnecessary features. Wilderness Equipment describes the Outbreak as a rugged pack designed for outdoor education and continuous use.

Comfortable and Adjustable Fit

One of the biggest advantages of the Outbreak is its adjustable harness system. The pack is available in different size combinations, with two back-length settings built into each pack size. This provides greater flexibility when fitting the pack to different body shapes and heights.

The Perfect-FIT harness system is designed to provide a secure and comfortable connection between the pack and your body, helping transfer the weight of your equipment through the hip belt rather than relying entirely on your shoulders.

A correctly fitted backpack can make a significant difference during long days on the trail, particularly when carrying camping equipment, food, clothing and water.

Rugged Construction

The Outbreak is built for hard use. Its pack body and harness use hard-wearing synthetic fabric, with the current Wilderness Equipment specification listing 1000-denier nylon with a multi-layer PU coating. This provides a tough outer material suited to the demands of bushwalking and outdoor education use.

The pack is designed with durability and easy maintenance in mind, making it particularly appropriate for a hire environment where equipment needs to withstand repeated use.

Practical Pack Design

The Outbreak keeps things simple with a single large main compartment featuring a wide, high-cut opening. This makes it easier to load and access your hiking equipment without having to fight with a narrow opening.

The pack also features:

• Large main compartment

• Wide, easy-access top opening

• Drawcord closure

• Top external pocket

• Rear external pocket

• Adjustable back length

• Adjustable shoulder harness

• Comfortable hip harness

• Strong internal aluminium frame

It's particularly suitable for:

• Overland Track

• Walls of Jerusalem

• Frenchmans Cap

• Multi-day Tasmania hiking

• Wilderness camping

• Bushwalking

• Backpacking

• Outdoor adventures

For the Overland Track, a larger backpack is useful because you'll generally need to carry several days of food, camping equipment, clothing and other essentials.

Why Hire a Wilderness Equipment Outbreak?

If you're visiting Tasmania for a hiking trip, purchasing a large expedition-style backpack may not make sense if you don't regularly undertake multi-day walks.

Hiring the Outbreak from Wild Island Adventures gives you access to a purpose-built bushwalking pack without the expense of purchasing and transporting your own large pack.

We can also help you put together a complete hiking setup, with sleeping bags, tents, sleeping mats, rain jackets, waterproof overpants, gaiters, cooking equipment and other hiking essentials available for hire.

Whether you're preparing for the Overland Track or planning another multi-day Tasmanian adventure, the Wilderness Equipment Outbreak is a dependable, comfortable and hard-wearing backpack designed to carry the gear you need for the trail.
