The Ascent 500 is an outstanding down sleeping bag crafted for spring adventures. It features a 650FP RDS Certified European duck down filling, providing excellent warmth. The outer layer is made of recycled, wind - resistant Pertex Quantum fabric, while the lining is recycled nylon, making it both lightweight and durable. With a wide mummy shape, it offers a spacious and comfortable feel, especially with its wide foot box. This bag can be used in cool temperatures, perfect for two - season use in regions like the UK, New Zealand, or Scandinavia. The trapezoid - shaped boxwall baffles ensure the down lofts fully, reducing cold spots. Hand - filled in the UK, the down has never been compressed before use, maintaining its loft and warmth. The close - fitting neck baffle keeps heat in when it gets cold, and the ¾ length main zip with a down - filled baffle blocks draughts. It also comes with an internal zipped stash pocket for storing small items like a phone or headlamp, a cotton storage sack, and a compression stuff sack for easy packing. You can even zip two bags (left and right zipped) together for more space. Bag Weight: 1.06kg / 2.34lbs, Fill: 650FP RDS Certified European Duck Down, Fill Weight: 500g / 17.6 oz, Bag Shape: Wide Mummy.
Using the Ascent 500 down sleeping bag is a breeze. Just unzip the compression stuff sack and let the bag fluff up on its own. You can then crawl inside and adjust the neck baffle to keep the heat in. If you're cold, you can wear extra layers inside the bag as there's plenty of space. When it comes to storage, use the cotton storage sack for long - term storage to keep the down in good condition. For traveling, use the compression stuff sack to reduce the bag's size. Make sure to keep the bag dry. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly before storing. Avoid machine - washing the bag too often as it can damage the down. Instead, spot - clean it when necessary. And if you're traveling with a partner, don't forget to pick up a left and right zipped bag so you can zip them together for more space and warmth.
