An ultra-light winter sleeping bag for alpinists moving fast and high. This is a very high specification bag that will keep you warm in the remotest of locations. If you are heading off on expedition then this could be the bag for you.
A true expedition bag in all but weight, redefining what is possible for those in need of high levels of protection and reliable warmth. Developed specifically for climbers and mountaineers tackling the world’s last great problems and pushing the envelope of possibility to its limit, these lightweight, protective bags are anything but simple. Providing absolute confidence for selfsupported trips in remote locations, these are designed for alpinism’s leading edge.
Filled with the very best Eastern European 800+ Fill Power Goose Down, sourced from Western Russia and Mountain Equipment DOWN Codex approved. This means that you can go to their website, type in the unique code on your down product and trace the origin of the down in your individual sleeping bag or jacket. The down has an actual minimum down cluster content of 93% & individually tested to ensure a minimum fill power of 800 cubic inches.
The Drilite Loft outer fabric is an exceptionally light, highly breathable and water resistant shell fabric used to protect the down inside and adding to the warmth of the bag due to reduced air convection.
The critical neck collar design with EXL® improves the thermal efficiency of all ME integrated neck collars. Elasticated stitching is used in addition to the normal adjustment system to allow the collar to gently wrap around the users neck providing improved thermal efficiency.
Finally, the optimized baffling of the internal build of the sleeping bag offers trapezoid 14:7cm baffles running horizontally throughout the main body which have been combined with a full EXL® system (both top and bottom) on the inner to minimize dead air space, reduce drafts and maximize loft. This strikes the ‘sweet-spot’ for lightweight expedition bags, removing weight from the bag’s main structure whilst maintaining higher levels of both loft and down control. However, overall performance is then strengthened by the addition of a V-block side baffle, 6 baffle foot piece and 7 baffle hood.
Oh yes, Mountain Equipment certainly know their stuff when it comes to keeping you warm while you sleep!
