Usage temperature:
All our sleeping bags display the temperature ratings tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX), in accordance with the European standard NF ISO 23537 - 2017.
The comfort temperature is the lower comfort limit at which a user in a relaxed position is in overall thermal balance and is neither hot nor cold. Use this rating to choose the sleeping bag that’s right for you.
What are the limit temperatures for use?
Limit temperature: temperature limit at which a sleeping bag user in a huddled position is generally in thermal balance and is neither cold nor hot. Use an insulated mattress to optimize your thermal comfort.
This sleeping bag is filled with feathers and down. The thermal insulation may decrease in damp conditions.
What you need to know about temperatures
Sleeping bags do not produce heat but rather retain body heat. If you’re tired and chilled when you slip into a cold, damp sleeping bag, it’s very likely that you’ll feel cold no matter how good your sleeping bag is! This means these temperatures depend on the person’s resistance to cold (body type, fatigue, etc.), equipment (mattress with insulation, etc.), clothing (naked, underwear, etc.), and weather conditions (wet, windy, etc.).
Before getting into your sleeping bag
Dress simply (1 layer of clothing is enough). Warm up your extremities: wear hats, gloves, socks; use bed warmers, friction, etc.
A flask filled with hot water can be used as a foot or bed warmer.
Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) without making any movements that would create a draft. Use a silk or thermal sleeping bag liner to maximize warmth and hygiene inside your bag.
Shape:
The mummy shape optimizes thermal insulation and saves space, which means that your movements are restricted.
Width at the shoulders: 72 cm. Height at the feet: 26 cm (L).
Ergonomic hood with drawstring.
Double slider, lined with an anti-cold duvet flap, side opening.
H-shaped compartment structure reduces thermal bridges.

Size and thermal insulation
Weight, volumes, and sizes may vary slightly based on production tolerances.
Volume and dimensions may vary according to the compression applied to the product.
Origin of feathers and RDS certification
Our traceability system guarantees the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to only using feathers that come from ducks bred for their meat and plucked after slaughtering.
We have been awarded the RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certification by a third-party organization.

The advantages of duck down and feather filling
The fill power of down has three advantages for mountain sports:
- The air trapped in the down and feathers provides thermal insulation.
- Ultra-low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.
Measuring the fill power of down and feather wadding
The fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and its potential to trap air. It is expressed in cuin (cubic inches).
Down with a higher fill power (higher cuin number) will occupy more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation.90% duck down, 10% duck feathers.
Filling power of the down: 800 cuin (IDFB standard)
The feather filling requires special care. Follow care instructions.
Care instructions
Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C: wash inside out, with 3 or 4 washing balls or clean, used tennis balls. Use a detergent for feathers and down. Rinse multiple times. Spin dry on a slow and gentle cycle. Required step: Tumble dry on low heat on a delicate cycle. Finish drying outside on both sides, ideally in the sun, to prevent the down from forming clumps. Dry thoroughly before storing.
Eco-design
“Bi-ton” thread was used for all the grey-coloured fabrics in this sleeping bag.
Textile dyeing requires a lot of water and produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce the environmental impact, we opted for a dyeing process called “bi-ton” that involves dyeing every other thread. This dyed thread is made using a bulk dyeing process that incorporates the colour pigments from the thread manufacturing phase onward.
