Temperature range


The first value – Tcomf – is the value at which freezing is just not occurring. This means that Tcomf is the lowest value of the comfort range, here it can already get cool

The second value – Tlim – is the value at which you can start to feel cold, i.e. start to shiver.

The third value – Text – is a theoretical value at which there is already a risk of health damage due to hypothermia. You don't need to consider this value when purchasing a sleeping bag.

WASHING DOWNWOOL® SLEEPING BAGS

How to wash DownWool sleeping bags and down sleeping bags properly

- Maximum 30°C by hand or on the wool wash cycle
- Turn inside out and wash with down detergent
- Program additional rinsing process
- Spin at a maximum of 600 revolutions
- Drying in the dryer with 2 - 3 tennis balls

Good to know: The extra rinse cycle ensures that all detergent residue is thoroughly rinsed out of the delicate down. After removing the sleeping bag from the machine, fluff it up a bit and then spin it again at a maximum of 600 revolutions per minute. Do not use fabric softener!

For optimal care, place 2 to 3 clean tennis balls in the dryer along with your DownWool® sleeping bag. The drying temperature should be a maximum of 60°C and the bag should be dried in approximately 5 one-hour intervals. The process may need to be repeated the following day or continued until the sleeping bag is dry.

Important: Remove the sleeping bag from the machine after each drying cycle, shake it well and let it cool down for a short time.

If your sleeping bag isn't dried and fluffed up properly (like a tennis ball), the down will clump and will be very difficult to detach. Therefore, never hang the item on a clothesline to dry!

Depending on the waterproofness of the outer material, the drying process can take varying amounts of time (up to 2 days). If the item still hasn't returned to its original thickness, the drying process must be repeated. Odors can develop as long as the item remains damp. 

 

STORAGE

Please store the sleeping bag in the included storage bag in a dry place. Never leave the sleeping bag in the compression bag for extended periods, as this may damage the insulation.

Repair & refill service

REPAIR SERVICE
If the sleeping bag needs to be repaired, just send us an email to info@gz-bag.de
