34 Sleeping bags: meticulous in details; perfection in materials and construction... < c a > f > > F E AT U R E< S A N D B E N E F I T S l p i F E AT U R E S a > Easy adjust hood: Uniquely shaped and colored cords adjust separately and are easily distinguished, even in the dark. Elastic drawcord on draft collar offers quick exits and simple venting. b > Moisture blocker: Treated shell fabrics repel water droplets. Tuckstitch seams prevent thread from wicking moisture to interior. j k > < o > > > b, d > c > Draw cord tubes in hood and draft collar are positioned to prevent pressure on forehead and throat. d > High performance fabrics: The special Texped shell fabrics, Texped PA35 for down bags or Texped PA36 for synthetic bags, feature downproof design by employing a dense weave with a high number of superfine fibers. But despite the tight weave, both fabrics are highly breathable, velvety soft, and very abrasion resistant. They repel water droplets formed by conden- n > g, m < h > sation, pack super small and weigh very little. Exped “WB“ (WaterBloc) sleeping bags use Pertex Endurance® waterpoof (1500 mm water column and 90% vapor permeable*) shell fabric. Synthetic fill sleeping bags feature a lightweight, water repellant ripstop nylon shell. *Standard-Test BS3546 Part 4 1991 e > Bar-tacking: Stress points, such as zipper ends, are carefully reinforced to prevent failures, rips and tears. e
f > Lining fabrics are of comfortable and soft Texped PR 58 microfiber polyester, which easily conforms to body shape and eliminates cold spots. With high thread counts, all fabrics are naturally downproof, unlike cheaper calendered fabrics that will lose downproofness and vapor permeability after a while. g > Double tuck-stitch design: Three layers of fabric, instead of two, are secured together with the seam fixed beneath the surface. This special technique prevents snags, protects the seams from moisture and is more abrasion resistant than simpler, traditional sewing techniques. Inner baffles are secured with a special second seam, so that even if he main seam fails, the goose down fill cannot escape the bag. h > Loops at the foot end permit the bag to be secured while airing without risk of being blown away by wind. i > Locking zippers feature reflective, glow-in-the-dark pulls that will not accidentally open - once set, the zipper stays set! pocket instead of a separate sack. k > Draft collar: the clever, double velcro closure reliably blocks airflow. l > Chin guards: soft fabric guard guards skin from contact with the zipper. m > Fabric edges are overlock stitched to prevent fraying, especially important with lightweight fabrics. n > Closed baffles: Highest quality baffle construction without gaps prevents down shift between chambers and uneven fill distribution, which could otherwise lead to cold spots. o > Draft tube: zipper is backed by an oversized draft tube, which is also divided into three chambers to prevent down shift. A stiffener prevents the zipper from snagging. p > Mat loops: Two loops at hip height can be used to secure the bag to the mat. Just tie a string to the loops and pass under the mat. q > Angled foot box: The foot end of the sleeping bag is set at the same angle as you feet naturally do. j > Inner pockets: convenient storage for small, personal items. To reduce weight, some models stuff into the Connectivity: Left and right zips con- 35 nect multiple bags, whether for comfort or emergency warming (for example, 2 people warming a 3rd, hypothermic person). YKK #8 left-push zippers connect with other high quality sleeping bags on the market. [Center zip bags use YKK #5 zips]. 3D baffle design: Horizontal and vertical baffles prevent down shift and eliminate cold spots. Most bags have over 30 chambers. Baffle walls , constructed of fine tricot mesh, easily stand up to the strain of washing. Smart accessories: sleeping bags include a storage sack of ultrafine, No- See-Um netting that does double duty as bug protection or as a laundry bag. Stuff sacks are waterproof compression bags with fold n roll closures. Just roll once, press out the air, then roll shut. Complete sleeping system: Two bags paired together (inner + outer) create a system that can adapt to a variety of adventure situations and temperature ranges. For example, a downfill Woodpecker paired with a synthetic-fill Traveler, or a Bivybag 100% eVent, as the outer bag offers greater flexibility than a single, very warm bag of comparable weight. To ensure this adaptability, Exped considered sleeping bag compatibility and sizing when designing the bags. As such, some bags are cut larger to accept a separate, inner bag (e.g. Traveler). The WB-series bags do it all: great insulation and comfort in a waterproof but breathable, design. Optimal fit: a complete range of sleeping bags to fit most adults, depending on body size and sleeping behaviour. Remember: an improperly sized sleeping bag can be cold if too large or tight, so try it for fit before buying. Also consider the mat when choosing the sleeping bag. We state temperature ratings for our mats to help in finding the temperature range you may require. Tested materials: Exped uses thoroughly tested materials that have gone through both lab and field testing. Independent labs use internationally recognized standard tests to evaluate down fill power and quality, water vapor transmission, water column, water repellency, abrasion and tear resistance. Down tests are done by the renowned IDLF (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) with each production run. (Test results available on request). Field tests are conducted by outdoor professionals, including Erhard Loretan (Himalaya expeditionist with all 14 8000m summits), Christof Hagen (wilderness and survival expert), Serge Lambert (professional mountain guide with over 30 years
