Grüezi bag® sleeping bags offer the best sleeping comfort and functionality

Grüezi bag sleeping bags have received numerous awards for their excellent insulation and well-thought-out designs.

• DownWool® - the better down: Unlike conventional down, DownWool® retains its insulating properties even in high humidity of up to 90%. This means DownWool® offers superior thermal performance, even in cold, wet conditions.
• Larger temperature range: DownWool® sleeping bags have a wider temperature range where you feel comfortable. Wool balances temperature fluctuations like a light, natural air conditioner.
• Drier sleeping environment: The blend of 70% RDS-certified down and 30% Alpine wool in DownWool® sleeping bags creates a dry, balanced sleeping environment. Wool effectively wicks away moisture and provides warmth even when damp.
• Best sleep quality: Longer sleep, faster falling asleep and better sleep through the night, all this is possible thanks to the wool content in the DownWool® insulation filling
• Well-thought-out cut for optimal freedom of movement: The comfort cut allows the body to assume a relaxed position, ensuring a peaceful, restful sleep. Even in the mummy shape, you can sleep more soundly, as you can turn around both on your side with your leg bent and inside the sleeping bag.
• Avoiding cold bridges: Our slightly wider cut reduces unpleasant cold spots caused by compressed insulation
• Lightweight and small pack size: Ultra-light, robust and recycled fabrics save weight.
• OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification: Grüezi bag® products are harmless to human health.

FEATURES

• Pillow compartment: If you put a fleece jacket, for example, into the pillow compartment, the sleeping bag has a non-slip pillow.
• Adjustable hood with Face Baffle: The thermal bulge adapts perfectly to the shape of your head. When it's cold, only a small hole remains open, reducing heat loss from the face.
• Inside & outside pocket: For valuables and things you prefer to keep close to you.
• Two-way autolock zipper: The zipper can be opened and closed from either end, inside or outside. The auto-lock prevents it from opening accidentally.
• White zipper: So you can find the zipper more easily in the dark.
• Zipper with anti-snag zipper and lined robust webbing: This makes it even easier to operate the zipper without pinching the outer fabric.
• Zipper with underlaid Zipper cover: so that the heat cannot escape and no cold bridges are created.
• Foot ventilation system: The innovative zipper design allows your feet to rest comfortably on top of the sleeping bag and excess heat to escape.
• Pre-shaped foot box: When lying down there is enough space in the sleeping bag to point your toes.
• Feater loops: A warming hip bag with heating element (Feater - The Feet Heater) can be installed additionally.
• Chamber construction: H-chambers, V-shaped (on the top), pre-shaped foot area with several chambers
• Delivery: Sleeping bag, compression pack, storage bag.

WHAT IS DOWNWOOL®?

What makes this sleeping bag special is its innovative insulation: In a DownWool® sleeping bag, you'll immediately feel the wide temperature comfort zone, where you're neither too cold nor too warm. Furthermore, the insulation is naturally less sensitive to high levels of moisture.

This is achieved through the mechanical bond of 70% RDS-certified down and 30% wool from the Alps. This patent-pending combination acts as a lightweight, natural air conditioner.

Down: excellent insulation performance

• High-quality down provides exceptional insulation at a low weight. However, in high humidity (air, sweat, condensation), down clumps together and loses its insulating properties. Grüezi bag solves this problem with its innovative DownWool® insulation.

Wool: effective moisture and temperature regulation

• Thanks to the addition of wool in DownWool®, the down stays naturally drier, thus maintaining its insulating properties. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture through its capillaries and release it back to the outside in a controlled manner.
• DownWool® remains insulating at humidity levels up to 90%. The wool fibers rise in humidity and even increase their loft by up to 30%, further improving the sleeping bag's insulation.
• DownWool® not only effectively regulates moisture, but also body temperature. Wool prevents cooling evaporation and retains its warming properties even when damp, something no other material can match. Wool naturally creates a cozy, comfortable microclimate through its unique climate-regulating properties.
• The body needs a lot of energy to regulate its temperature. Wool supports this process thanks to its excellent temperature-regulating properties.
• Wool also neutralizes unpleasant odors.

The result: Excellent insulation and a wide temperature range for comfortable sleep. DownWool® is also less sensitive to moisture. This makes DownWool® sleeping bags from Grüezi bag® popular all-rounders.

MAINTENANCE

Washing

• The Washing instructions are in the inside pocket of the sleeping bag.
• The sleeping bag can be hand-washed with a down detergent at a maximum of 30°C/86°F or machine-washed on the wool cycle. Please turn inside out, zip up, run an additional rinse cycle, and do not use fabric softener.
• Remove the item from the machine, loosen it up a bit and spin it again at max. 600 revolutions.

Drying Solutions

• Tumble dry at max. 60°C/140°F and be sure to add 2-3 tennis balls for better fluffing.
• Please run the item through the dryer several times and after each dryer cycle, remove it from the machine, shake it well and let it cool down in between.
• The dryer must be set to a timer program to dry the down completely.
• If you don't use a dryer, you can put the sleeping bag on a clothes rack on sunny days and shake it out frequently to allow air to reach the sleeping bag from above and below.

When is the drying process completed?

• If the item still does not have its original thickness, the drying processes must be repeated until the sleeping bag feels more filled than before.
• Depending on the water resistance of the outer material, the drying process can take different lengths of time (at least 2 days, depending on the dryer model).
• The down must be completely dry. If the sleeping bag isn't properly dried and fluffed, there's a risk that the down feathers will clump together, which can cause irreparable damage. You'll know the product is completely dry when it feels fuller and thicker than before. Damp down can have an unpleasant odor, but this odor will disappear once it's dried.
  

TIP

• Down sleeping bags should be dried in the tumble dryer from time to time or after each trip using tennis balls to remove excess moisture.
• Sleeping bags must be stored open and dry in the storage bag.
• When packing the sleeping bag into the compression bag, it must be stuffed with the foot end first, not rolled or folded.
• Airing a sleeping bag is better than washing it. DownWool® sleeping bags rarely need to be washed, as wool itself has natural odor-inhibiting and dirt-repellent properties. For minor external soiling, we recommend gently cleaning only the stain itself (see above). Greasy and extensively soiled sleeping bags can be machine washed.
• Every sleeping bag needs a sleeping pad, as the insulation is compressed towards the bottom of the sleeping bag and therefore cannot retain air and therefore heat. You can find more information about the right sleeping pad here. Here.
