    Hey, I have been using Nano L (red) during summer for some 5 years already and I am thinking of getting NANO 2 L for my GF. I have the same thoughts on the NANO temp ratings, which makes this video very informative for me! Did you try zipping both bags together? I wonder if the zipper length is similar. I have seen a couple on YT using 2x NANO 2 L together, (one bag flipped). I wonder if its possible between NANO 1 and NANO 2 . I know that you have Nano 1 M and Nano 2 L, but.... I guess if its possible with M+L it should be possible also with 2xL Thanks for the review!

      Hi there, that's a really good question. The xl version is now the standard version and therefore they've stopped selling the original smaller size on most of the sites. I'd check the inner dimensions with the standard lanshan before buying.

  • @kberlin4221
    @kberlin4221 Před 7 měsíci

    I bought a Nano2 two years ago and become an additional one this year as a Christmas present. It was a mistake, because I wanted a Nano in addition to my nano2. So I have now two Nano 2. The older one is like yours. The newer one looks better. I has not anylonger the orange plastic Zipper drawer. It´s now a white cord drawer. The height of the chambers are now a little bit reduced, without getting less loft. It looks instead like 0,5cm more. But the down keep now stable at their place. That prevent cold spots. Furthermore the zipper has become a harder stripe to prevent snagging and the material outside prevents a bit better windy conditions. In addition is the new material on both sides more down resistent, but on the inner side it´s now a little bit more like plastic, but feels not longer velvety. The older one has on the other side a lot more potential for overfill, because the chambers has to much height for the fill. I put allready 100g extra down inside (900fp) and it has now overall +3 cm more loft and feels awesome without moving feathers. But with the newer one, I think to put again 50g-100g more inside the older version (150g all in all) to fill the bag complete (top& downside) with around 17-18 cm loft in each chamber, (the upper part could be more) for the winter or freezing conditions with all in all 900g and a lot of space. Now I got two really different and awesome sleepingbags for a really cheap buy. The newer one can also be overfilled, but I think the limit is around 15-16cm (in each buffle, not only the upper section), what enough is for a few degrees below freezing as a cold sleeper. The problem is, you can´t see on Ali which one you will get delivered, but both versions has an advantage.

    • @kberlin4221
      @kberlin4221 Před 7 měsíci

      Ok, try it and with 600g Down is the older bag full and has around 18cm in the uper section and 15-16 in the lower, but a lot more bloated. I took around 10g from the 200g and fill the zippertube. The last 50g brings more form than loft, so I suggest the sweetspot is around 525g-550g for the older one. All together you will get the best result in comparision to the additional weight. You can fill with less then 200g the uper side full, but not the lower. In the most cirumstances it is an advantage to have a thiner at the back and a thicker side at the front. But until 600g it´s not an overfill, only a fill. I turn a round a lot and like the same fill at the back. I hope with the fill I can easy sleep until -5C, thats enough for me in the Wintertime. If somebody get the newer version and want more down, so i think 50g is enough to get the best result, because the buffles are not so high.

    • @AdventureLite
      @AdventureLite Před 4 měsíci

      Wow! Thanks for the really good advice! Can I ask how you added the extra down? Did you unstitch a seam or cut open and restitch?

    • @kberlin4221
      @kberlin4221 Před 4 měsíci

      I cut/unstich the seam open in the middle of the inside with a seam ripper. This part is visible because the seam extends outwards for a length of approx. 20cm. But I only unstich 10cm. After filling, you can easily sew it closed with a sewing machine or by hand in 5 minutes. @@AdventureLite

    • @kberlin4221
      @kberlin4221 Před 4 měsíci

      Filling is easy with a kitchen roll and a garbage bag into which the roll is glued with tape at the bottom. The down goes into the garbage bag and is pushed through the roll with a stick. With the roll you can go into the upperside or the downside. All chamber of one side are connected, but i preffer to push potions of down with the roll in each chamber. Otherwith you have to shake the sleepingbag a lot ;) (The construction is like bagpipes with one pipe)

    • @kberlin4221
      @kberlin4221 Před 4 měsíci

      For the zippertube you need an extracut at the lower end of the tube, with a scissor. You can easily cut the last mm. I started with the zippertube. I use also the garbagebag-bagpipe to fill. But please don´t compress the bag, use a thin 30cm stick instead.

    Putting my engineer hat for a moment: According to the specs the dimensions are exactly the same between the two but this simply cannot be the case. Both tents have exactly the same outer dimension, and same length for the bathtub, BUT, there’s at least 10-15 cm between the fly and the inner tent. Same appears to be for the height just by looking at it. This means that the inner mesh has quite a steep angle which in turn means the real length is much less then 230. Also add the fact that sil poly stretches much more than sil nylon and the difference in space can be significant. I wonder how this plays out in the real world.
