Trekking Sleeping Bag MT900 0°C Down

We display the comfort temperatures on all our sleeping bags, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX) in compliance with International Standard ISO 23537-1: 2022.The comfort temperature is the minimum temperature that one average person (woman, 25 years old, 60 kg, 1.60 m) is at ease, without feeling cold, in a relaxed position.Choose your sleeping bag according to this criterion.

The comfort temperature limit is the minimum temperature at which an average person (man, 25 years old, 70 kg, 1.73 m) can sleep curled up without feeling significantly cold.And for information, the extreme temperature is the minimum temperature at which a person can survive (risk of hypothermia) for 6 hours. It is a measure of safety, and not of comfort.

In the context of this standard, the measurement protocol of a sleeping bag’s thermal protection uses a mattress with thermal resistance equal to an R-value of 4.8.This means that by using a less insulating mattress, the thermal performance of your sleeping bag will be lower.We therefore recommend you use an insulating mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.

Dress simply (1 layer of clothing is enough).Warm-up your extremities: hats, gloves, socks, hand/feet warmers, rubdowns, etc. A flask of hot water can be used as a hot water bottle (as long as there's no chance of it accidentally opening!)Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but don't make any movements that cause cold draughts.Use a bag liner to optimise warmth and avoid washing your sleeping bag too frequently.

The mummy shape optimises thermal insulation (no loss of heat because there is not much air flow or draughts) and saves space, which means that your movements are restricted.Width at the shoulders 72 cm, height at the feet 26 cm in size L.

Size S: 750 g, user up to 1.60m tall. Bag dimensions: Ø 15 x 34 cm. Volume 6.1 Litres. 380 g of down/feathers.Size M: 850 g, user from 1.60m to 1.70m tall. Bag dimensions: Ø 16 x 34 cm. Volume 6.9 Litres. 440 g of down/feathers.Size L: 950 g, user between 1.7 m and 1.85 m. Bag dimensions: Ø 17 x 34 cm. Volume 7.8 Litres. 500 g of down/feathers.Size XL: 1050 g, user from 1.85m to 2m tall. Bag dimensions: Ø 18 x 34 cm. Volume 8.7 Litres. 560 g of down/feathers.

Anatomical hood with good coverage and drawstring adjustment.A baffle along the zip prevents heat loss.Double-slider zips for optimal ventilation.Brick baffle construction to reduce thermal bridges.

The filling power of down has 3 advantages for mountain sports:- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers- Ultra low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack- Ultra-compressible.

The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. It is expressed in CUIN (cubic inches).So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.For this sleeping bag with its 90% down / 10% feathers filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 800 CUIN or more (international IDFB standard).

Even if you regularly use a bag liner, you will need to wash your down bag from time to time. Follow our guidance by copying the link below:https://www.forclaz.co.uk/how-to-look-after-a-down-sleeping-bagIn short:1/ machine wash, 30°, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Gentle spin cycle.Use special detergent for washing down (ref: 8609821)2/ tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls, and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.

On a trek, you can snag a sleeping bag, it happens! The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent the tear from getting bigger and the feathers from escaping.To do this, we recommend that you use self-adhesive repair patches (ref: 8584596) or ask one of our technicians to do this for you in the workshop of your Decathlon store.Find out more:https://www.forclaz.co.uk/how-to-look-after-a-down-sleeping-bag
