Features

  • Mountain Equipment's Good Night's Sleep rating for this bag is 9°F; this rating often tallies closely to the EN/ISO rating, but for certain bags the discrepancy may be larger
  • The Good Night's Sleep temperature rating is based on laboratory and cold-chamber testing, plus extensive experience manufacturing sleeping bags for use in extreme conditions
  • DRILITE® LOFT™ 50-denier outer shell is lightweight, breathable and water-resistant
  • A semi-tapered mummy fit combines thermal efficiency with comfort for all-around mountain use
  • Trapezoid baffles on the top half of the main body have been combined with slanted box-wall baffles on the underside to balance down control, weight and versatility
  • 5-baffle anatomically shaped hood provides high levels of down control, low weight and excellent insulation; easy-run dual tether drawcords
  • 6-baffle anatomically shaped footbox features BullsEye™ technology and offset Sharks Toe™ foot construction to maximize thermal efficiency
  • Full-length Gemini™ zip baffle and integrated collar with Lode Lock™ closure
  • The Lode Lock system with its low profile auto-locating closure combines all the advantages of a magnetic fastener with those of a mechanical lock
  • Its one-handed, quick-release closure uses 2 captivated internal magnets to draw the locking mechanism together and ensure that once connected it cannot be accidentally opened
  • Includes waterproof roll-top stuff sack and storage cube
  • Certified to the Down Codex® standard, which promotes transparency and animal welfare in the down supply chain
  • Mountain Equipment is a member of Fair Wear Foundation, a European initiative working to improve workplace conditions in the garment and textile industry

Imported.

Mountain Equipment conducts their own laboratory and cold-chamber testing to give their bags a Good Night's Sleep temperature rating–a rating they feel is the most accurate reflection of a bag's potential in real-life situations.

Temperature ratings are intended as a guideline to help you compare products, rather than a guarantee of warmth, since many different factors contribute to your comfort while you sleep. Backpacking bags are typically rated for temperature according to an independent testing protocol—currently International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 23537, though some older items followed European Norm (EN) 13537. Testing is based on a person wearing one base layer and a pair of socks, sleeping on an insulated surface with a minimum R-value of 5.38.

Each bag then gets 2 ratings: the Comfort rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "cold sleeper" comfortable, and the Lower Limit rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "warm sleeper" comfortable. Some brands determine their own temperature rating by aligning to the Comfort rating for women’s bags, to the Lower Limit rating for men’s bags, or somewhere in the middle for nongendered bags.
