We've learned a few things about working with down insulation over the past four decades. So we took that experience, combined it with the motivation that comes from numerous rough nights in the mountains, and set about to create a different kind of sleeping bag. In the end, we built the streamlined 850 Down Sleeping Bag 30. It has a minimalist minded design and a feature set that is ideal for climbers, kayakers, and backpackers who need an essentials only kit. We started with ultralight 100% nylon ripstop Pertex QuantumR fabric, which features Y shaped filament technology to create a shell that's nearly half the weight and twice the strength of our other down shell fabrics. The interlocking Y shaped fibers of this fabric allow maximum down loft, provide superior durability, and enhance the performance of the DWR durable water repellent finish. We made the liner from our beloved HoudiniR fabric a featherweight 100% nylon ripstop that provides quick dry times and soft, next to skin comfort. The simple, lightweight stitch through baffle construction reduces weight and increases stuffability. We insulated the bag with 850 fill power Traceable Down for exceptional heat trapping warmth, season after season durability, ultracompressibility, and light weight. Our low profile hood is designed to move with you and minimize twisting it fits securely around your shoulders and head with lightweight cording and concealed cord locks. The custom foot box has a fully baffled, differentially cut pattern to eliminate any dead spaces, maximize warmth and allow ample room for movement.
