Product Description

The Vuno Downex Sleeping Bag provides exceptional warmth and comfort. It's designed for New Zealand's cold winter conditions.

Innovative Baffle Design

This Black Down Sleeping Bag features square baffles. These baffles secure the down filling, preventing it from shifting during sleep. Unlike long baffles, they eliminate cold spots and ensure consistent warmth.

Versatile Fastening Options

Multiple fastening options make this sleeping bag adaptable. Rectangular Velcro fasteners secure the zipper when fully zipped, keeping it in place even if you move. On colder nights, a round Velcro fastener keeps the hood snugly closed.

Spacious Foot Area

The square-shaped foot area measures 28 x 28 cm. This design provides ample room for your feet, preventing down squash. As a result, the down lofts out effectively, creating warm pockets for optimal warmth.

Additional Features

This Black Down Sleeping Bag uses a combination of vertical and horizontal baffles. These baffles keep the down in place, ensuring maximum loft and creating pockets of warmth up to 12 cm high. The down expands, pushing the shell sides apart and trapping warm air between layers.

Draft tubes line the zipper to block cold drafts. They add a soft padded layer between you and the zip, ensuring a more comfortable sleep.

Tips for Use

When you first receive your sleeping bag, remove it from the compression sack and air it out in a warm area. Shake it occasionally to restore loft and remove any residual smell from production. Repeat this process a few days before use and upon reaching your campsite. This will ensure the sleeping bag lofts out fully, providing maximum warmth.

Always use a sleeping bag liner to reduce the need for cleaning and to add an extra layer of warmth.

Care Instructions

Keep your Goose Down Sleeping Bag in prime condition with proper care. Store it in a spacious, dry area when not in use. After each outing, make sure to air it out. For washing, use a mild down cleaner and a front-loading machine. Dry it on a gentle cycle with tennis balls to fluff the down.

Getting the Best from Your Sleeping Bag

To maximize warmth, give your sleeping bag a good shake before settling in. Wear fresh, dry attire to bed to maintain the down's insulation. Avoid eating inside your sleeping bag to prevent odours and stains. Consider using a liner to keep it clean and add an extra layer of warmth.

Essentials for Winter Camping

For chilly outdoor adventures, a Goose Down Sleeping Bag is essential. Select a bag with a suitable temperature rating for the conditions. A sleeping pad can provide additional insulation from the cold ground. Always ensure your sleeping equipment is dry and ventilate your tent to minimize condensation.

Wrapping Up this Black Down Sleeping Bag

Caring for and using your Goose Down Sleeping Bag correctly is vital for enjoyable and comfortable outdoor experiences. By following these straightforward guidelines, you can ensure that your sleeping bag remains a dependable companion on numerous adventures.
