210T Rip-Stop polyester, polyamide lining
The shell utilizes 210T Rip-Stop polyester for enhanced resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, significantly lowering the likelihood of additional tears. The interior features a lining crafted from 190T polyamide. A footbox is incorporated at the bottom of the sleeping bag, conforming to the natural shape of the feet, which reduces excess space and optimizes heat retention around the legs. An internal small pocket is included for storing accessories, along with loops to secure an extra thermal liner.
MICROfill Super-Therm insulation
The interior utilizes MICROfill Super-Therm synthetic insulation, recognized for its outstanding lightness and softness. Thanks to the unique microfiber construction, impressive loft and superior thermal insulation are achieved. The fibers retain their performance even after repeated washing.
Left-side zipper, Anti-Bite system
Equipped with a two-way zipper along the left side, the sleeping bag enables complete opening from both ends, streamlining entry and exit. The fluorescent puller ensures effortless unzipping even in low light conditions. With the Anti-Bite system, the fabric remains protected from snagging in the zipper. An internal thermal baffle provides added insulation along the zipper. Compatible with another sleeping bag from the same series for combined use.
Integrated hood for cold protection, Duo drawcord
Featuring a built-in 3D-structured hood, this design maximizes thermal retention by enveloping the head and minimizing heat loss in cold conditions. The ergonomic contour delivers added defense against wind and moisture. Equipped with a Duo drawcord, the system integrates both elastic and webbing components.

Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.
Anti-Bite is a system that prevents material from getting jammed in the zipper, used in outdoor clothing and equipment. It prevents the fabric from blocking the zipper, which increases the durability of the product and improves the comfort of use, especially in outdoor conditions.
Microfill Super-Therm is an advanced insulation technology used in products such as thermal clothing and sleeping bags. The fiber structure effectively retains heat, ensuring thermal comfort even at low temperatures. The high elasticity and lightness of the material translate into ease of compression and transportation, while maintaining excellent insulating properties.

This solution makes it easy to quickly adjust the sleeping bag to your body position and personal preferences, without having to leave the interior.
