Rab Expedition 1200 Sleeping Bag Left Zip

Rab have upgraded all their brilliant sleeping bags for the 2014 season with Hydrophobic Down. This flurocarbon free treatment was developed in conjunction with Nikwax and although Hydrophobic Down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down. The Expedition 1200 is designed to withstand the harshest weather and is protected with an outer fabric of Pertex Endurance providing good water resistance combined with excellent breathability and durability. The lining is Pertex Microlight with high wicking properties and, as the name suggests, very low weight and bulk. The hood and foot area is lined with Pertex Endurance to minimise damage from wear and also reduce water take up from wet boots and clothing. Insulation is provided by
1200g of 850 fill power superior quality Hydrophobic European Grey Goose Down, yes you read correctly, 1200g of mega down! This amazing down is held in place with the use of longitudinal baffles which stops the down migrating to the sides of the bag. These longitudinal baffles are also trapezoid in shape resulting in a very stable structure and consistent distribution of down throughout the bag. The outer and inner walls of the baffles benefit from differential cut,  which allows for specific fill weights and fill power by maximising natural loft resulting in greater performance. Expedition sleeping bags are sized larger to accommodate bulky clothing and make entry and exit easier. Temperature ratings are used to indicate a bags performance but are subjective and can be hugely affected
by many factors such as your health and metabolism, how much you have had to eat or drink, how active you have been, humidity and altitude, the type of shelter used and whether you are using a suitable insulating mat. Your sleeping bag is only as good as the mat that’s beneath it; we recommend EXPED and ThermaRest mats for comfort and insulation. The Comfort rating indicates the range at which a woman gets a full night’s sleep; the Limit of Comfort rating indicates the range at which a man gets a full night’s sleep and the Extreme rating indicates a range at which a woman is protected from hypothermia.  The Extreme rating is basically a survival rating and it is not advisable to rely on this for general use.
