Rab Womens Andes 800 Sleeping Bag Left Zip

Rab have upgraded all their brilliant sleeping bags for the 2014 season with Hydrophobic Down. This fluorocarbon 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. This womens specific Andes sleeping bag is designed for high altitude and winter mountaineering and offers the same performance as the Expedition bags but with a more performance oriented fit and shape to reduce weight and bulk; it ias also perfectly useable for all outdoor winter activities where you just need to be assured of a warm nights sleep. Hand filled in Derbyshire by Rabs own elite fillers so you can be sure that every Andes bag is made with care and attention. This incredibly
warm expedition and winter mountaineering sleeping bag is filled with 800g of 800 fill power Hydrophobic European goose down for maximum loft and insulation in a mummy shape which is optimised for bags with fill weights between 800 and 1200g. Longitudinal chest and foot baffles keep the down exactly where it’s needed, over the apex points of the body, to maximise insulation and to stop the down from migrating to the sides of the bag. Rab use their clever differential cut which is a technology developed to ensure that the space between the lining and the outer fabric is optimised for the specific filling and fill power. This maximises the potential of the down to loft naturally resulting in greater performance. The outer fabric is Pertex Endurance which offers low weight, strength and
excellent water resistance and the inner is lined with Pertex Microlight fabric for enhanced comfort and wicking. Both the inner hood and foot areas are lined with Pertex Endurance to provide additional abrasion resistance from helmets and boots. 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.
