Ascent 900 Sleeping Bag: 0F Down

Pertex Quantum is a lightweight and durable nylon fabric known for its moisture resistance and wind-blocking capabilities. This makes it ideal for outdoor gear like sleeping bags, as it helps keep you dry and warm in various weather conditions. The "30D" indicates the fabric's thickness, with lower numbers signifying lighter materials, which is perfect for backpacking.

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the down used in your sleeping bag comes from ducks that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees that the down is sourced from farms adhering to strict animal welfare guidelines, giving you peace of mind about the ethical sourcing of the materials.

Nikwax is a brand known for its waterproofing and cleaning products. The "Nikwax fluorocarbon-free hydrophobic finish" means that the down insulation in your sleeping bag has been treated to repel water without using harmful chemicals. This treatment helps maintain the insulation's effectiveness even in damp conditions, making your sleeping bag more environmentally friendly and functional.

Trapezoidal boxwall baffle construction is a design feature that helps keep the insulation evenly distributed throughout the sleeping bag. The unique trapezoidal shape of the baffles prevents cold spots, ensuring that you stay warm and comfortable throughout the night, regardless of your sleeping position.

A 3D collar is a specially designed feature that provides extra insulation around your neck area. Its three-dimensional shape fits snugly, effectively blocking out drafts and retaining heat. This means you can enjoy a warmer and more comfortable night's sleep, even in colder conditions.

Investing in a sleeping bag with features like Pertex Quantum fabric, RDS-certified down, Nikwax treatment, trapezoidal baffle construction, and a 3D collar ensures that you have a high-quality, durable, and comfortable sleeping solution. These features enhance warmth, moisture resistance, and overall performance, making your camping or backpacking experience more enjoyable and worry-free.
