Sleeping Bag Comparison Chart Down & insuLITE Sleeping Bag Features Use this easy-to-follow chart to help pick your perfect sleeping bag Select a bag with a temperature rating for the coldest night time temperature you expect to encounter – anticipate the worst when it comes to the weather! Down sleeping bags are lightweight, highly compressible and have the best weight-to-warmth ratio of any fill. insuLITE sleeping bags dry quickly, are easy to clean and are the ideal choice for use in damp conditions. The shape of your bag makes a difference. Rectangular bags allow you to spread out in your bag and have more space for your body to heat up. Mummy bags generate more heat in a faster period of time and are fantastic in cold climates and at high elevation. Using a sleeping mat creates a layer of comfort and insulation from the ground. A Down bags loft rating is an indicator of two important features; the warmth-to-weight efficiency and compressibility – both critical in retaining warmth and comfort. If you’re likely to encounter damp conditions consider a down bag with an eproof DWR (durable water repellency) finish or a insuLITE fill bag. Left and right sided zip options allow you the versatility to zip two bags together, creating a double sized bag.

eproof is a lightweight wind resistant nylon fabric ideal for changeable climates. With a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and a micro-porous breathable coating, it allows perspiration to escape while keeping moisture out – keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.

Goose and Duck down fill provides the ultimate in insulation for the least bulk. Highly compressible for quick storage when travelling, down insulation will keep you toasty when the temperature drops. Down performance is measured by loft power – the higher the numberthe more efficient the insulation.

insuLITE fill provides insulation and comfort in a range of climates. Constructed from lightweight synthetic fibres that trap warm air around your body, insuLITE delivers high thermal performance, even in damp conditions. A durable and easy case option for travel and day-to-day adventures.
