Fjord Nansen Nordkapp 500 MID 850 g Sleeping Bag - left
Rugged sleeping bag in Blue, featuring a mummy-shaped design for optimal sleeping posture and enhanced freedom of movement. Constructed with premium nylon, incorporating a tough outer shell and insulated with duck down and feathers.
Temperature and usage conditions
The temperature ratings of the Nordkapp sleeping bag are specified in accordance with EN 13537:
- T-max: 9 deg. C - the highest temperature at which you can sleep in the sleeping bag without overheating,
- T-comfort: 0 deg. C - the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably through the night,
- T-limit: -5 deg. C - the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort,
- T-extreme: -22 deg. C - the lowest temperature at which you can survive in the sleeping bag. This is not a value recommended for standard use.
20D nylon with Water Repellent coating
Constructed with lightweight 20D nylon on both the interior and exterior, featuring a hydrophobic WR coating (Water Repellent) to effectively minimize moisture absorption. Outfitted with an internal small pocket for essential gear and loops designed for securing an additional thermal liner.
Duck down fill, H-shaped construction
Superior thermal insulation and optimal air circulation are delivered by Polish duck down with a 91/9 ratio. A 700 cuin fill power guarantees excellent compressibility, making it easy to pack the bag into a compact size. The H-shaped baffle construction keeps the down evenly distributed, preventing any clumping or shifting. For increased warmth in the foot area, the drawcord-style footbox incorporates an additional down layer to ensure maximum insulation.
Left-side zipper, Anti-Bite system
Equipped with a two-way zipper on the left side, the bag allows for complete opening from either the top or bottom, ensuring rapid access. The fluorescent puller enables effortless use in low-light situations. Featuring an Anti-Bite system, the design safeguards the fabric against snagging. A thermal baffle inside the bag shields the zipper. This model can be joined with another sleeping bag from the same series.
Integrated hood with cold protection, DUO drawcord
Enhanced thermal protection is provided by the integrated 3D hood, which envelops the head to minimize heat loss. The ergonomic profile offers effective defense against both wind and moisture. Featuring a Duo drawcord system with both elastic and tape, the elastic section surrounding the neck permits hand extension without the need for readjustment, while the rear tape ensures rapid loosening—optimal for quick adjustments in low-light conditions.
Easy transport and storage
Designed for convenience, this model offers effortless transport and compact storage. Packed dimensions are just 35 x 19 cm, with a weight of only 840 g, ensuring you can carry it easily without overloading your equipment.
Set components
Supplied with a durable stuff sack, the sleeping bag remains shielded from dirt and damage during transport.

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.
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.
