Trek 500 5° Trekking Sleeping Bag

All our sleeping bags display the comfort and limit temperature ratings, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX), in accordance with the European standard NF ISO 23537 - 2017.The "comfort temperature" is the lower comfort limit at which a user in relaxed position is in overall thermal balance and is neither hot nor cold (determined for an average woman in normal conditions of use). Choose your sleeping bag according to this criterion.

Limit temperature: temperature limit at which the user of the sleeping bag in huddled-up position is generally in thermal equilibrium and is neither cold nor hot (determined for a standard man under normal conditions of use).We recommend using an insulation mattress to optimise your thermal comfort.This sleeping bag is lined with synthetic wadding to ensure its performance even in wet conditions.

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! In the night, your thermal comfort will not only depend on the weather conditions (damp, wind, etc) but also your physical fitness, your equipment (mattress, etc), your clothing (wool under-garments, etc).

Dress simply (1 layer of clothing is enough). Warm-up your extremities: use hats, gloves, socks, bed warmers, rubbing, etc.A flask filled with hot water can be used as a foot or bed warmer (so long as there's no chance of it opening by accident!)Contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but without making any movement generating a cold airstream. Use a sleeping bag liner to maximise the heat and hygiene inside your sleeping bag.

The weight, volumes & sizes can vary slightly due to production tolerances.Try your sleeping bag before buying it to choose the right size for your comfort. The advantage of a sarcophagus-shaped sleeping bag is to optimise the weight/volume and thermal ratio. Indeed, with a bag that fits close to the body, you will have less volume to heat (saving your energy). Conversely, this type of bag can limit your freedom of movement, especially when the zips are closed.

Can be twinned with other sleeping bag models in the Forclaz Trek 500 range.Can be twinned with other models in 2017 "Ultralight" and 2018 "Light" ranges.

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce the impact on the environment, we choose "bi-ton" dyeing, meaning only one out of every two threads are dyed. This dyed yarn is also dyed using mass pigmentation, using colour pigments when the yarn is manufactured.

Wadding in polyester wadding with 70% polyester recycled polyester, reducing its environmental impact.All these eco-design choices enable the CO2 emissions of this sleeping bag to be reduced by 16% compared to the former model.
