Description
Our camper-designers eco-designed this Arpenaz 10° sleeping bag for sleeping comfortably when camping at temperatures close to 10°C. Our motivation? To provide an eco-friendly sleeping bag with a full-length zip for easy opening. It can also be converted into a duvet and twinned.
The comfort limit temperature is the temperature limit at which a person curled up in the sleeping bag is in general thermal equilibrium, neither too cold nor too hot (determined for a man in normal conditions of use).
We have improved this product using an eco-design approach in the dyeing of the fabric with the so-called “dope dyeing” process. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced.
A sleeping bag does not produce heat, but retains the heat produced by the body. If you are tired and cold and you slip inside a cold, damp sleeping bag, it is very likely that you will feel cold no matter how good your sleeping bag is! These temperatures therefore depend on the person’s resistance to cold (body type, fatigue, etc.), equipment (mattress with insulation, etc.), clothing (naked, underwear, etc.) and weather conditions (humidity, wind, etc.).
Dress simply (just one layer of clothing is enough). Warm-up your extremities: hats, gloves, socks, hand/feet warmers, friction… A flask of hot water can be used as a hot water bottle (if there is no risk of accidental opening!). Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but without making any movement generating a cold airstream. To wash your sleeping bag less often, we recommend you use a sleeping bag liner.
You can easily store your bag by stuffing it loosely into its cover, feet section first. To maintain its loft, its insulation, remove it from its bag and store it laid out in a dry place.
