210T Rip-Stop polyester, polyamide lining
The exterior utilizes 210T Rip-Stop polyester, providing reliable protection against abrasion and mechanical damage while minimizing the chance of further rips. Lined internally with 190T polyamide, the sleeping bag offers comfort and durability. A footbox design shapes the lower section to better accommodate the natural position of the feet, reducing dead space and enhancing thermal efficiency around the legs. An internal small pocket allows for secure storage of small items, and integrated loops enable attachment of an extra thermal liner.
MICROfill Super-Therm insulation
The interior incorporates MICROfill Super-Therm synthetic insulation, renowned for being lightweight and exceptionally soft. Thanks to its unique microfiber composition, the fill delivers superior loft and outstanding thermal insulation. The fibers retain their performance characteristics even after repeated washing.
Right-side zipper, Anti-Bite system
Equipped with a two-way zipper on the right side, the sleeping bag can be fully opened from both the top and bottom, providing easier entry and exit. The fluorescent puller enables convenient unzipping even in low-light conditions. With the Anti-Bite system, the fabric remains protected from getting caught in the zipper. An internal thermal baffle safeguards the zipper, enhancing insulation. Compatible with other sleeping bags in the same series for combined use.
Integrated hood for cold protection, Duo drawcord
The integrated 3D-structured hood maximizes thermal insulation by enveloping the head and minimizing heat loss in cold environments. Its contoured design offers increased protection from both wind and precipitation. Featuring a Duo drawcord system that merges elastic and webbing, the elastic section around the neck allows for effortless hand extension without adjustment, while the webbing at the back facilitates rapid loosening at a desired point—especially advantageous during nocturnal missions.

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.
DUO drawstring in Fjord Nansen sleeping bags is a two-zone adjustment system, which allows you to adjust the hood independently with an elastic band in front and a tape with a lock in the back. This solution makes it easy to quickly adjust the sleeping bag to your body position and personal preferences, without having to leave the interior.
