What is it made from?
Insulation: The Radeon Sleeping Bag is filled with 1079g of Rab's synthetic Recycled Stratus™ insulation, featuring their innovative WARM WAVE™ construction.
This Recycled Stratus™ insulation, as the name suggests, is created from thin, recycled fibres that mimic down. This high-performance insulative material remains effective even in damp conditions, unlike down, making it a better option in moist climates where you'll likely encounter a rain shower or two.
Rab’s clever WARM WAVE™ construction helps the insulation effectively loft by sewing the sheet insulation in alternating wave-like patterns on the top and bottom of the insulation to create additional air pockets throughout the filling. This helps trap additional warm air, enhancing the material's thermal efficiency. This clever construction provides the Radeon with an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, while also enhancing the durability of the insulation and offering a lofty and supremely cosy sleeping bag experience, comparable to natural down.
Recycled Stratus™ is responsibly created from 100% recycled fibres made from post-consumer PET bottles. Recycling single-use plastic bottles helps keep them out of landfills and our oceans, whilst also reducing waste and energy consumption.
Outer Fabric: The outer fabric of this sleeping bag is constructed from 20D Atmos™ Recycled Polyester Ripstop, a lightweight, windproof and durable material that's engineered to withstand the abrasion from frequent use outdoors.
The material is finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to provide protection from light moisture and protect the filling in cold, damp environments.
Lining: The sleeping bag is lined with 20D Atmos™ Recycled Polyester Ripstop, which is lightweight and flexible for next-to-skin comfort. It's also finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating for light water resistance- handy for accidental drink spills or getting caught out in sudden showers when setting up camp.
What are its features?
Starting with the bag's structure, the innovative WARM WAVE™ construction is further enhanced by the bag’s baffle system, which prevents the insulation from migrating over time.
Sidewall baffles provide maximum loft and comfort for side sleepers, while a tapered mummy shape provides optimal thermal efficiency and a reduced pack size.
An anatomically fitted hood with a drawcord closure allows you to cinch it in close on cold nights for maximum thermal efficiency, whilst a 3D shaped synthetically filled neck collar helps trap heat inside the sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag is fastened with a two-way 3/4 YKK® anti-snag main zip with an insulated baffle running alongside to prevent cold from entering the bag via the zip. Anti-snag zip inserts and an anti-snag internal zip guard help to prevent the fabric from getting caught and snagging or tearing on the zip.
A zippered internal stash pocket provides a convenient home for smaller items you want to keep close to hand, such as a mobile phone, face mask or earplugs, ensuring they don't get lost at the bottom of the bag during the night.
A roomy, anatomically shaped footbox offers freedom of movement around the feet and a more relaxed sleeping position for maximum comfort, allowing the shape of the bag to feel less restrictive without adding much weight or bulk to the overall design.
A compression stuff sack provides compact storage on the move, allowing the sleeping bag to take up minimal space in your pack. Stuff sacks are literally meant to be stuffed! So do your best to cram your sleeping bag inside instead of folding the bag neatly away. Stuffing randomly helps to prevent folds and creases in the insulation, which will prevent cold spots and gaps from developing over time, increasing the lifespan of the bag.
