Our VOITED Slumber Jacket review walks through this innovative outerwear release, perfect for cold nights around camp.
The VOITED Slumber Jacket offers the perfect way to stay warm on your next adventure. This innovative release can be worn as a puffy coat during the day and transformed into a sleeping bag at night.
Now this jacket isn’t meant to replace your expensive sleep system, but it is a really quirky option for outdoor enthusiasts who have it all. We can totally imagine daytime naps and nights around the campfire in this unique kit.
We already consider VOITED the market leaders of dual-purpose outerwear. Last year’s Trooper quickly proved itself to be an Adventure Pending favourite, and our Ripstop 4-in-1 blanket has been used on more occasions than we can count. So when the brand asked us to take a look at their latest camping combo, we jumped at the idea.
Here’s our complete review of the VOITED Slumber Jacket.
Adventure Pending has tested numerous changing robes, ponchos, sleeping bags, and blankets over the last four years. The Slumber Jacket is built differently.
This 2-in-1 coat allows you to switch between day and nightwear without suffering a drop in body temperature. We all hate the transition from changing robe to sleeping bag on a summers evening – this jacket holds the solution we didn’t know we needed.
Wear the Slumber Jacket in the daytime for unparalleled warmth and mobility. We found this to be the perfect outerwear for camping, but it also works as a changing robe for open water swimmers and paddleboarders.
Unlike other products from VOITED, this jacket has full-length arms and a high-rise hood to lock in as much body heat as possible. This has been the real game-changer for the AP team.
Wrist warmers help to hold the sleeves in place, maintaining your ability to set up camp, wash the dishes, or crack open a beer with ease. No soggy cuffs here!
And when it’s time for bed, simply release the retractable foot compartment and convert your coat into a sleeping bag. This is easy enough under torchlight and provides additional protection from the elements throughout the night. On warmer nights, this could be all you need one top of your favourite sleeping mat.
The Slumber Jacket is filled with vegan PrimaLoft® RISE insulation that’s compression-resistant and and impressively cosy, providing comfort down to 11°C.
We recommend using the jacket as a sleeping bag on summer camps rather than shoulder season trips, but it’s easy to boost your sleep system with a camping quilt like VOITED’s Ripstop Blanket. This will provide additional warmth and comfort when the temperatures dip in the early hours.
The Slumber Jacket has a 50D Ripstop outer shell made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. It is lined with a soft polyester that we’ve found both comfortable and breathable.
To combat that early morning dew, the jacket has a Bionic Finish® Eco-Fluorine Free coating. This is an environmentally-friendly DWR. Providing you regularly waterproof the tent over your head, you shouldn’t have any problems sleeping in this bag.
VOITED recommends machine washing your Slumber Jacket at 30ºC using minimal detergent. Consider purchasing a tech wash specifically for insulated garments, like the Grangers Wash + Repel 2 in 1. This formula works to thoroughly clean and reproof down and synthetic-down filled clothing, such as the VOITED Slumber Jacket.
If you’re unsure how to wash and waterproof insulated garments, check out our guide before cracking open the washing machine.
The Slumber Jacket is a really cool piece of kit that would make a great gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life, or a fun treat for yourself. Sure, it can’t replace your highly technical sleep system, but it does provide a good bit of fun (and warmth!) on summer nights under canvas.
