When it comes to camping as well as spending time in the great outdoors, you might want to consider taking the water resistant route – at least, that is what this particular water resistant down sleeping bag is all about, where it is supposed to give you unparalleled comfort whenever you spend your free time in the woods or by the lake. DownTek, a kind of water-resistant down, relies on a nano polymer treatment which helps it repel water, enabling it to maintain its unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio even when it is wet all around. Definitely a step up from the standard issue down as the fabric of choice when it comes to cold-weather insulation. Not only that, it will also include anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties for added peace of mind.
A couple of sleeping bags will launch later this fall, where the line will then be expanded to over a dozen in 2013. One of the first two, the Bellyache Mountain SL is said to come stuffed with 700-fill DownTek, delivering 15º F (-9.4º C) protection without weighing you down too much – we are talking about 1.1kg thereabouts, but it will not come cheap though with a $299.95 price tag. Getting down with style, now this is what I’m talking about!
