The model is equipped with a thermal insulation coefficient of R-Value 2, measured according to ASTM F3340-18. This value indicates the degree of protection against ground cold—the higher the R-Value, the greater the effectiveness in minimizing heat loss.
R-Value classification as applied in the outdoor sector:
- 1.0-2.0 – designed for summer use (recommended for nights when temperatures are above approximately 10 deg. C),
- 2.1-3.5 – suited to spring, summer, and autumn expeditions (from around 0 deg. C up to 10 deg. C),
- 3.6-5.0 – intended for cold conditions, near 0 deg. C and negative temperatures down to about -5 deg. C / -10 deg. C,
- 5.1-7.0 – optimal for winter operations, where temperatures dip below 0 deg. C,
- above 7.0 – recommended for harsh winter environments requiring maximum insulation.
Actual thermal comfort is determined by several factors, including the sleeping system (bag and apparel), ground characteristics, and the user’s individual cold tolerance.
