CONSTRUCTIONS
SLEEPING BAGS & MATS
3-D: probably the most valid and effective construction for an high performance sleeping bag. Down chambers are built all around the human body for perfect insulation.
Down
Down Box (D.B.): “Box� construction keeps the filling in position, providing an even insulation.
Stitched through (S.T.): construction with shell and lining stitched together.
Baffle Construction (B.C.): baffle walls connecting shell and lining and creating horizontal down channels, which avoids cold spots.
Syntetich
Synthetic 2 layer (S2L.): two layers of synthetic insulation (one on the top and one on the bottom).
Down+Synth
Synthetic 3 layer (S3L.): three layers of synthetic insulation with one layer on the bottom and two offset layers on the top to help prevent insulation gaps that can occur with single layering.
Dual Insulation System (DIS): An innovative construction with down on the top part and synthetic on the bottom. Nothing performs quite like down when it comes to heat retention and regulation. But synthetic is the ticket when the insulation might be at risk of becoming damp or compressed. Of course, both of these things are most likely to happen on the bottom of the bag. With Dual Insulation, the user truly gets the best of both worlds.
MATERIALS Araneum: Araneum is a 20 denier nylon ripstop fabric that is 33% stronger and only 10% heavier (41 g/m2) than 15 denier fabric making it both lightweight and durable. Araneum is most notable for its unparalleled blend of lightweight and packability while still maintaining a high resistance to abrasion or tearing. Quite literally, Araneum has the potential to pack down 50% smaller than other comparable fabrics.
Sheltex 30D Ripstop Nylon: A burly 30 denier ripstop shell fabric that maintains a comfortable soft hand and good packability. The fabric is cired on the interior to make it down proof and coated on the exterior to make it more moisture repellant and abrasion resistant.
STUFF SACKS EXP: a broad three point compression sack designed to carry larger volume bags manageably inside a pack.
COMP: a slim three point compression sack to pack our hyperlight sleeping bags as tight as possible.
STANDARD: a noncompression stuff sack with a lid cover and drawstring.
