G-Loft insulation, Thermoflect
The sleeping bag's interior utilizes lightweight synthetic G-Loft insulation, delivering reliable thermal comfort in demanding conditions. Even after exposure to moisture, repeated washing, or prolonged use, the insulation maintains its heat-retaining performance. An additional Thermoflect layer ensures extra protection by reflecting body heat and keeping warmth inside the bag. The outer shell is constructed larger to avoid direct contact with the inner layer, forming an extra layer of insulation.
Sleeping Bag System - Tropen
Ideal for spring and autumn journeys: Suitable for summer trekking during colder periods, the sleeping bag performs reliably in conditions where temperatures approach -0 deg. C.
Bivouacs and camping: Thanks to its lightweight construction and small packed size, the sleeping bag is perfectly suited for expeditions where reducing pack weight and bulk is essential, such as bicycle or kayak adventures.
Central zipper, Anti Snag system
Equipped with a two-way central zipper for complete opening, the sleeping bag is designed for versatility. The Anti Snag system ensures the zipper moves smoothly by preventing the fabric from catching. Along the length of the zipper, an insulated flap acts as a barrier against cold drafts. A Velcro tab at the zipper’s top secures it in place, guarding against accidental opening during rest. The trapezoidal foot section maximizes foot space and aids in heat retention within the bag.
Integrated hood for cold protection
Featuring a contoured hood with an adjustable face opening, the design enables personalized fitment thanks to integrated drawcords.
Easy transport and storage
Compact when packed, the sleeping bag occupies minimal space for easy storage and transport. Featuring packed dimensions of 25 x 30 cm and weighing only 1850 g, it offers convenient portability without adding excessive weight to your equipment.
Set contents
A compression sack with quick-release buckles is included in the set, providing protection for the sleeping bag during transport and shielding it from dirt and potential damage.

Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam represents a cutting-edge camouflage design introduced in 2002 by Crye Precision, a US-based company, in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) through the Objective Force Warrior initiative. Developed with versatility in mind, its objective was to provide a camouflage solution that maintains effectiveness across diverse terrains and shifting environmental conditions. Incorporating seven distinct colors, the MultiCam scheme features smooth gradient blends of green, brown, and beige tones. This composition allows seamless adaptation to surroundings, displaying green hues in lush, wooded landscapes and transitioning to browns and beiges in arid, desert settings—performing exceptionally well during autumn months and among withered vegetation in Central and Eastern Europe. MultiCam has earned international acclaim and has been adopted by various military forces and elite units around the globe. In 2010, the US Army designated this pattern as the standard camouflage for troops deployed in Afghanistan, supplanting the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). Civilian access to the pattern has also enhanced its appeal, making MultiCam a sought-after choice within the military and airsoft enthusiast communities.

G-Loft insulation is an advanced material consisting of a three-dimensional structure of hollow polyester fibers that trap dry air to form an effective thermal insulation layer. These fibers retain their shape thanks to a memory effect, allowing them to return to their original form after getting wet, washing and heavy use. G-Loft, used mainly in outdoor clothing and equipment, combines the characteristics of natural down and synthetic fill, offering excellent thermal insulation, lightness, resilience and moisture resistance.
Anti Snag is a technology used in sleeping bags to prevent the zipper from snagging. Thanks to the use of a special anti-snag tape along the zipper and an external protective strip, the risk of snagging the fabric when zipping or unzipping the sleeping bag is minimized. Such a solution not only makes it easier to operate the zipper, but also increases the durability of the product, protecting the fabric from mechanical damage.
Thermoflect is an innovative reflective material that enhances the thermal insulation properties of clothing and sleeping bags by reflecting the heat emitted by the body. It provides a thin, lightweight layer integrated directly into the product's construction. It works on a principle similar to that of an emergency foil, improving thermal efficiency without a significant increase in weight or volume. Thanks to its breathable properties, it prevents overheating and moisture buildup, ensuring high comfort.

The sleeping bag fully met expectations. My son uses it in a bunker at a temperature of +5°C, sleeping only in thermal underwear, and despite this, it is very warm in the sleeping bag.
-
The sleeping bag is worth every penny. Warm, pleasant to the touch. Quality is top-notch. The middle zipper is gold, especially appreciated by those who sleep in a hammock. Tested on the ground at minus 3 degrees. Slept in just underwear. And it was really warm. If it ever gets damaged, I know I don't have to look elsewhere. I will buy again. Even though it isn’t ultra light. For typical Polish, non-high mountain conditions, if it lasts, it’s the last sleeping bag I’ll ever buy.
-
The sleeping bag is very good quality. Thanks to the synthetic G-loft filling, you can keep the sleeping bag in a compression sack for much longer than in the case of traditional down sleeping bags. G-loft does not clump like regular down and also does not absorb moisture. Overall, the sleeping bag is suited for tougher conditions, is very well made, and is low maintenance in use. I recommend it.
-
An excellent sleeping bag. Carefully made, light for its size, and very warm. The compression sack is well thought out. In my opinion, the price-quality ratio is well considered, although it is not cheap gear. As for me, I plan to buy one more sleeping bag, this time for my daughter. Part of the description matches reality, so I hope the remaining information about this sleeping bag will also be consistent with the facts. Everything I wrote before can be summed up in two words: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
-
A solid, warm, comfortable piece of trekking equipment for demanding conditions so far. I hope this sleeping bag will also live up to that and that the reviews are not made-up.

A solid and warm sleeping bag. Ideal for spring and autumn. Very comfortable during rest. If you camp a lot, it’s worth every penny. I recommend it.
