WASH BAG TESTED AND BLOGGER MEET
OUTDOOR WITH GRÜEZI BAG
10:30 a.m. at the Hotel Aspethera on October 10, 2015. I'm putting the final touches to the Product Blogger Lounge when Markus from Grüezi Bag walks into the conference room with a backpack and a small rolling suitcase. Completely in my element, I almost missed him, but only almost! Because he's unmistakable, at least when he starts speaking. Based on his Bavarian dialect, I knew who he was. Markus was a guest at my event introducing himself, his philosophy, and his products. We had a completely relaxed conversation; he's a very likeable young man, someone you just want to hug.
When Markus gave his presentation about Grüezi Bag, everything was clear: His products are absolutely amazing! His company philosophy, his conviction, and his strength of will inspired us all. He had us laughing with his presentation. The story, right up to the success of the products, left us wide-eyed. He managed to bring the sleeping bags, which are the focus of the greatest attention, to market, and that's simply because the products are absolutely brilliant. Starting with the material composition, which is based on alpine wool: easy-care, robust, odorless, breathable, flame-resistant, temperature-regulating, and moisture-protective (which you can read more about on the Grüezi Bag website), right through to the design. The design of the sleeping bags is equally impressive. Patterns like cowhide or Blutsgeschwister design won us over immediately. The sleeping bags are not only absolutely top-notch in terms of functionality, they also look great for outdoor activities. When a sleeping bag was pulled out of the suitcase as a demonstration piece, a wave of 'AHHH' and 'OHHH' went through the rows of Product Blogger Lounge guests. They're so cozy and soft that we all wanted to take one home with us right away.
The attention to detail is the icing on the cake of these products. For example, the women's sleeping bag is designed so that women can bend their legs as usual while sleeping, or a pillow can be tucked into the hood. The enthusiasm for these sleeping bags was unmistakable, and I'm sure one or two of them will now also be found under the Christmas tree. I'd like to introduce you to two products in more detail, and I'm sure you'll be just as enthusiastic about them.
WASH BAG LARGE ALPEN
When I travel, I take half my bathroom with me. Typical woman? No, because men also need to pack their razors along with their skincare products. A large and, above all, functional wash bag is essential. For women, it's certainly crucial that the wash bag also looks good. No problem for Grüezi Bag! The designs are impressive! Whether it's girls' colors, children's designs, or men's colors, they're all available. I chose the Alpine pattern.
When I took the bag (material: 100% polyester) out of the packaging, I was amazed by its size. So much space! This would be the first time I've ever carried all my essentials in one bag? At 14cm x 15cm x 24cm, that's certainly no problem. After all, in addition to the generous interior, it also has two small pockets for smaller items like Q-tips or scissors, two larger pockets, and a large mesh pocket. This allows me to separate cosmetics from personal care products. Perfect!
A mirror is also integrated, again demonstrating the attention to detail. A hanging hook is also integrated, perfect for campsite showers, where there isn't usually much storage space.
WHAT FITS IN?
Of course, I tried it out: shower gel, shampoo, creams, a brush, deodorant, a comb, decorative cosmetics like makeup, mascara, eyeshadow, and powder, tools like makeup brushes, scissors, cotton pads, and various small items! Before I had the bag, I traveled with two bags: one for decorative cosmetics, the other for skincare. Thanks to the Grüezi Bag, that's all over now. I'm thrilled!
Since I was so overwhelmed by the talk in the lounge, I decided to put a children's sleeping bag under the Christmas tree for my nephew, who is now 4 years old. He was allowed to choose one from the Grüezi Bag brochure, because they have special sleeping bags for children! Practical for sleepovers at friends' houses and the first few nights in a tent. My nephew immediately opted for the cow print and the green color. A good choice, in my opinion. I ordered the sleeping bag and it arrived at my house well packaged. I know I'm early with the presents this year, but what you've got is what you've got. Since it's a Christmas present, I can't show you any photos with the child in it, but I have put together a few collages for you just of the sleeping bag.
COW KIDS GROW GROWING CHILD SLEEPING BAG
The sleeping bag features a two-layer construction that keeps children nice and warm. A cozy fleece lining at the foot and a velvet collar allow children to sleep even more comfortably and snuggle. The material doesn't rustle, guaranteeing a good night's sleep.
Other important data:
- The outer material is breathable and water-repellent
- 100% Polyester.
- The inner material is made of soft Feelsilk microfiber 100% polyester.
- The filling: AIR-Fiber-3D fiber 2-layer (100% polyester)
- Size: 140-180x65x45cm – Pack size: 34x20cm, compressed 21x20cm
- Packing volume: 11 liters, compressible to 7 liters
- Temperature En 13537: According to EN standard 13537, exact temperature specifications for children's sleeping bags are not permitted.
- Height: 100-155cm (adjustable)
So how does the sleeping bag grow with your child? It's quite simple: there's a small zipper in the footwell; when you open it, the sleeping bag expands. Incidentally, the sleeping bag is made of breathable AIR-Fiber 3D fiber, which stores a tremendous amount of air, thus ensuring an optimal sleeping environment. What I also find very important: the zipper is protected by a padded cover strip, so no heat escapes. The sleeping bag is very easy to open and close, and packing it up is also child's play.
