The Roman Palm Passport is a compact, lightweight and reliable bag for your lightweight sleeping set up.
It’s tested to EN13537 standards, with an excellent warmth to weight ratio and a semi-tapered shape for more warmth around your legs. The fill is an Insufil Thermo® with Thermospace® with a 40D/280T nylon diamond ripstop outer for durability and a comfortable Silk-tex 75D/210T lining for comfort. You can open it up fully thanks to the full zipper system, stash essentials in the hidden inner storage pocket, and zip it up without any dramas thanks to the double anti-snag system. The curved hood lets you trap extra warmth, it comes with a compression bag for saving space and is available in left and right zippers so you can join two together.
Featuring high-quality lightweight materials which ensure maximum temperature to weight ratio while remaining breathable and compact – the Palm Passport from Roman is ready for adventure.
Hello, can you confirm the bag for this sleeping bag is black in colour. Cheers
G'day Hank,
Yes, the bag is primarily black with some grey - the same colours as the sleeping bag itself.
Hi, my partner is 190cm, would this be too small? I'm looking for one around the same price, and can zip two bags together. Also fialy warm and compact as we are hiking on the beach for a few days. Any recommendations??? Thank you!
G'day Sianna,
Unfortunately there isn't any sleeping bags in our range that are suitable for hiking in this budget, that will be long enough for your partner.
The closest option would be the Traverse TV3 in the long size.
Is this sleeping bag machine washable?
G'day Cat,
Yes, The Roman Palm Passport range is machine washable under a few conditions:
Gentle or handwash cycle in a Front Loader only
Use low residue detergents such as wool wash or Lux flakes.
Sleeping bags can be a pain to get dry though, so the best option initially would be to use a sleeping bag liner to wash instead of the whole bag, or spot clean/sponge clean the bag if required.
I'd like to use this bag in all seasons, and I often overheat, even in winter though in the case of snow I'd like this bag. So for when it's not cold, my plan is to put this in a quilt cover and use it as a blanket. I've had to return previous sleeping bag from another store when it said "opens all the way" - as it did not. So I thought I would just double check :) Cheers!
G'day Ana,
Yes, the Palm Passport can be fully unzipped and opened up to use a quilt/blanket in warmer weather.
I'm almost sold, but I'm a little concerned by all the reviews around the place mentioning how snug this was for guys of average height...could you guys recommend this for someone 175cm tall? Cheers!
G'day Adam,
The max user height is 180cm tall, however, based on other reviews, you might find it is a bit on the shorter site for you. Feel free to flick us an email or give us a call and we should be able to recommend some options depending on the features you're needing.
i have the palm IV. At 174cm tall i can pull it over my shoulders and snug the hood tightish and feel nice and warm. 175cm tall shoud be fine - 180cm highy unlikely
Just wondering how waterproof/resistant the bag it comes in is. Thinking about getting this for my motorbike camping setup. Not sure if I'd need to fit it inside my luggage or not.
G'day Ben,
The stuff sack for the Palm Passport is lightweight nylon, so it won't provide any waterproofing/water resistance. WE'd suggest stowing it in your luggage or grabbing a lightweight dry sack to store it in.
Which Roman Sleeping Bag Liner fits this product best?
G'day Richard,
I'd recommend looking at the Roam Silktex liners in either a rectangular or mummy shape, but if you'd prefer the comfort of cotton they also make rectangular and mummy options there for you. They'll just be a bit bigger/heavier than the Silktex. I try to avoid using the 'travel' liners with the pillowcase attached as you really don't need it in a sleeping bag.
Will this suit 186 cm normal to skinny built male?
At 186cm the user will be right on the edge of suitability for this sleeping bag Betissa, my recommendation would be to look for something longer. The Extremelite is a little longer, and cheaper, but not nearly as warm or efficient. The next option is more expensive but is a much better bag, this bag is the Sea To Summit Voyager.
Black Wolf has a new bag called the Equinox, and I've just noticed that these are not online. They are in a similar price range to the Roman Palm series and look to be about 5-10 cm longer than the Palm series too. I'll work on getting these online in the next few days.
Hi - I'm trying to work out whether the -5 rating for this bag is comfort or extreme? The Roman website is not very helpful....I'm looking for a lightweight bag to take on the Overland Track in January that won't break the bank. Thank you!
G'day Nathan,
The -5° rating on the Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag (-5°) is the comfort rating temp.
G'day Nathan,
I reckon you'd be on a winner there, during summer in Tassie the Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag should suit you well.
Hey Nathan - did you end up using this bag for the OLT in tassie? Looking at the same bag for the same trip - also for Jan.
My chest measures 135 cm, will,this bag be a comfortable fit?
G'day Peter,
The Roman Palm Passport Sleeping Bag has an internal chest girth of 140cm. So whilst it'll be a little tight, you should still be able to fit into it relatively comfortably.
What's the length of the bag up to the hood? Even though it says the max height is 185cm, the fact that the external dimensions are 210cm makes me think it would be fine for a 192cm male.
G'day Rob,
I've just re-measured the Roman Palm Passport, and the internal length of the bag up to the hood is 185cm, so I think this model is a little bit too small for your height Rob.

I need a replacement stuff sack As I lost mine. What size do I need for this bag?
2/7/19 Update - Just a heads up, we now have the option to select this from the drop-down menu when you add it to the bag.
