FAQs

What do our sleeping bag temperature ratings mean?

Comfort Rating: This indicates the coldest temperature at which a cold sleeper will feel comfortable and warm in their sleeping bag.

Limit Rating: This is the coldest temperature at which a warm sleeper will feel comfortable in their sleeping bag. This is the rating we state on our sleeping bags. 

Extreme Rating: This is a survival rating only.

How do I maximise the performance of my sleeping bag?

You can maximise the performance of your sleeping bag by using it with an inner sheet, insulating mat and away from draughts. Wearing additional layers will also improve the performance of your sleeping bag. For example, if you are cold sleeper, you could be comfortable at the Limit Rating if you wear suitable warm clothing and use the sleeping bag with an inner sheet and mat.

What fill does the Micro Down Sleeping Bag use?

Our Micro Down Sleeping bag is filled with 90/10 duck down, which means the fill is made up of 90% soft down and 10% “small feathers”, which assist in keeping the down loose and assists loft (the amount the bag fluffs up when taken out of the stuff sack).

The down is distributed around the bag in a series of channels or baffles that ensure you have the right amount of filling for each part of your body - eg. more on top than the bottom and more around the chest than the legs. Down is unrivalled for warmth to weight ratio and is resilient to compression, but note it is not very effective when wet and will take some time to dry.

How do I care for my sleeping bag?

To ensure a long life and prolonged warmth of your sleeping bag, please follow these care instructions.
1. For long term storage use a large open weave sack.
2. Machine Washable on very low heat and gentle cycle. 
3. Dry clean at low temperatures. 
4. Air and fluff the bag prior to use. 
5. Use a liner (inner sheet).
6. Always air after use and keep as dry as possible.
