Sleeping bags are sold in different styles (mummy, rectangular, with a hood and sleeping bags for children), for different temperatures (extreme weather, cold, three seasons sleeping bags and warm weather), and with many different insulation (fiber synthetic and fill the bottom). Be to consider purchasing a sleeping bag insulation bag next. Here are some commonly used insulating and their benefits.
Slumberloft HQ (TM)
is a synthetic fiber made from a hollow core with 50%Polyester fiber coupled with a 50% solid core polyester fiber. This combination offers great warmth and loft. Examples of sleeping bags with Slumberloft HQ are: Slumberjack - Latitude, -20F/-29C long and Slumberjack - Timber Lil ', Children 10 F/-12C Stock Exchange.
Hollofil DuPont ® 808
is a synthetic fiber. Its core cable has been designed to leave more air for greater warmth and loft trap. Examples of sleeping bags with this insulation are: Coleman - Coleman and F/-9C Crescent 15 - Mountain Lodge, King-5F/-21C.
Hollofil DuPont ® II
is a synthetic fiber that four empty tunnels running along the entire length of its functions. With four players per fiber trapped air, heat usually provides more than 808 and compressibility Hollofil An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Coleman Exponent - Northbound F/-18C 0.
DuPont Thermolite ® Extreme
is a high performance thermal insulation, which combines three different fibers - fine denier fibers, the thermal bondingSpring-core fibers and hollow fibers. This tri-blend fiber system offers the ultimate in warmth and compactibility higher. Diablo C 40 F / +4 and Slumberjack - - Slumberjack Odyssey, Long F/-12C 10: Examples of sleeping bags with this insulation are.
DuPont Thermolite ® Extra
is a high-loft, highly resistant insulation for exceptional warmth technician. Since it is made from unique, patented empty core, three-dimensional crimp having a spiral configuration offers superior loft,Exceptional firmness and elasticity. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Slumberjack - Telluride Long 30 F/-1C.
Polarguard ® HV
has high insulation performance at high continuous length of polyester filaments vacuum, which are locked in one of several layers of cotton wool. Because it is a continuous filament, Polarguard HV does not clump, move or disconnect. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Coleman Exponent - Boulder Ridge+20F/-7C.
Polarguard® 3D
is a high performance insulation produced from continuous filament in the same manner but finer than Polarguard HV. This makes Polarguard 3D softer, more compressible and stronger while providing great insulating value and loft. Examples of sleeping bags with this insulation are: Sierra Designs - Paul Bunyan, Long +10F/-12C and Sierra Designs - Rosa, Regular +20F/-7C - Women's sleeping bag.
Polarguard® Delta
continuous filament polyester is the newest member of the Polarguard family. Polarguard Delta combines a super void cross section with modified batt formation. The larger void creates higher loft with less weight, making it warmer, yet lighter. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Sierra Designs - LX, Regular +45F/+7C.
Down
is a time honored, expedition proven natural insulation made of very small extremely light down plumules found next to the skin of geese. For its weight, down has an exceptional ability to trap air, making it the most efficient warmth to weight insulation available. Examples of sleeping bags with this insulation are: Kelty - Light Year Down, Long +15F/-9C and The Backside - Blue Ice -50F/-46C (750 Down).
ThermoTech
exclusive to Coleman, is made of solid-core fibers and is soft and lofty with good thermal retention, properties to keep campers warm. Generally used for mild condition bags, this insulation keeps campers snug on cool summer nights. Made of 100 percent polyester fibers, which are non-allergenic, machine washable, and odorless. Examples of sleeping bags with this insulation are: Coleman for Kids - Journey Junior +40F/+4C and Coleman for Kids - Voyager +40F/+4C.
Coletherm
also exclusive to Coleman, is a hollow-core fiber, allowing for greater loft (a measure of the amount of space the insulation occupies and the amount of air the insulation can trap). The hollow-core fibers create pockets of air that serve as an extra barrier between the sleeper and the environment, maximizing thermal efficiency. Made of 100 percent polyester fibers, which are non-allergenic, machine washable, and odorless. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Coleman Exponent - Big Basin +0F/-18C.
Buckloft®
is a fine denier, solid core polyester fiber. This combination offers outstanding warmth with extra loft. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Slumberjack - Kenai +0F/-18C.
Buckloft HQ®
is a synthetic fiber composed of a 25% siliconized, hollow-core polyester fiber joined with a 75% solid core polyester fiber. This combination offers great warmth and comfort. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Slumberjack - Chaparral -30F/-34C.
Kelty CloudLoft®
is Kelty's affordable and durable branded synthetic fill insulation. The blend of solid core and hollow core fibers trap heat efficiently and provide excellent loft and comfort. Cloudloft is used in Kelty's most value-oriented mummy and rectangular bags. An example of a sleeping bag with this insulation is: Kelty - Mistral, Long +20F/-7C.
