Sleeping bag tested at -6°C with a poor mattress in terms of ground insulation. The night was spent comfortably, only the feet were a bit cold. I wore thermal underwear, a thin polyester sweatshirt, and wool socks. I think at lower temperatures it will be necessary to wear something extra. Two downsides: - The carry bag should have straps to better compress the sleeping bag, but it does not. - No storage bag included for home use; for 1100 PLN, one could be provided. Overall, I highly recommend it at this price.
Fjord Nansen Nordkapp Sleeping bag 800 XL - right
Robust sleeping bag in Blue, designed in a mummy-shaped cut to ensure optimal body alignment and allow for unimpeded movement during rest. Crafted from premium nylon, the exterior is rugged and long-lasting, while insulation is provided by duck down and feather fill.
Temperature and usage conditions
The operating temperatures of the Nordkapp sleeping bag specified in accordance with EN 13537:
- T-comfort: -7 deg. C - the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably through the night,
- T-limit: -14 deg. C - the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort,
- T-extreme: -29 deg. C - the lowest temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is possible. This is not a value recommended for standard use.
20D nylon with Water Repellent coating
Constructed with lightweight 20D nylon on both the inner and outer layers, featuring a hydrophobic WR coating (Water Repellent) that enhances resistance to moisture. A small pocket inside provides storage for essentials, while integrated loops allow secure attachment of an additional thermal liner.
Duck down fill, H-shaped construction
Superior thermal insulation and optimal air circulation are achieved with Polish duck down in a 91/9 ratio. The 700 cuin fill power down guarantees excellent compressibility, enabling the sleeping bag to be packed into a compact form. The H-shaped baffle design keeps the down evenly distributed and prevents shifting or clumping. Additional insulation for the feet is provided by the drawcord-style footbox featuring an extra layer of down.
Right-side zipper, Anti-Bite system
Equipped with a two-way zipper on the right side, the bag can be completely opened from either the top or bottom, allowing for rapid access. A fluorescent puller ensures easy operation even in low-light conditions. The Anti-Bite system safeguards the fabric against snags. An internal thermal baffle shields the zipper for added protection.
Integrated hood with cold protection, DUO drawcord
Enhanced thermal protection is provided by the integrated 3D hood, which contours the head for reduced heat loss while also acting as a barrier against wind and moisture. The innovative Duo drawcord merges elastic with a tape system: the elastic section at the neck enables one-handed extension without needing adjustment, and the rear tape allows for swift loosening—making it optimal for overnight operations.
Easy transport and storage
Designed for convenience, the sleeping bag packs down to a compact size of 38 x 20 cm and weighs just 1250 g, allowing for effortless transport and storage without overloading your equipment.
Set components
Supplied with a durable stuff sack, the sleeping bag stays protected 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.
