Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

What is the Ascent 500?

The Ascent 500 is a slightly lighter version of the Ascent 700 - constructed with cold, frosty conditions in mind. This sleeping bag has been upgraded to suit more eco-conscious outdoor enthusiasts, now being produced using recycled materials. The extra warm down filling makes this an excellent option for camping, trekking, or backpacking in the winter seasons, it's also a great all-round option for those looking to buy their first sleeping bag.

What is it made of?

Insulation: This sleeping bag uses 650 fill power, R.D.S Certified, European Duck Down for maximum loft (fluffiness) and insulation.

European Duck Down is fantastic quality down. It has smaller clusters than Goose Down, slightly reducing the warmth to weight ratio without impacting the quality of the bag.

The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon-free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water-resistance to the down itself.

Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick breakdown.

Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft (fluff up). A rating of 650 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 650 cubic inches of space when fully lofted.

R.D.S - The Responsible Down Standard ensures that the down is sourced from happy birds who haven't been plucked and have been well cared for.

Hydrophobic - Hydrophobic down dries out and lofts more quickly than untreated down, resisting moisture from sweat and condensation that may build up when you're catching z's in the bag. Fluorocarbon-free Hydrophobic finishes don't use harmful chemicals that cause damage to the environment, an excellent feature for more eco-conscious adventurers.

Outer fabric: The outer shell of this sleeping bag is constructed using Recycled Pertex® Quantum. Pertex® Quantum is a tightly woven, lightweight fabric which is fully windproof for protection against blustery conditions and extra warmth retention. Even though recycled, the fabric is still soft and light to the touch making it super packable and comfortable for the user, a win-win when it comes to sustainability and quality kit.

Lining: Lined with 20D Recycled Nylon, the interior provides a lightweight, breathable layer that still feels soft and cosy on the skin.

What are its features?

Starting with the bag's structure, the trapezoidal boxwall construction with differential cut directs more insulation towards the body, forcing the down in each baffle to sit in a trapezoid shape. This construction method is enhanced to optimise the loft and warmth of the bag. A differential cut means that the inner lining and outer fabric are sized differently, often depending on the bag's fill power.

There is a 3D shaped neck collar that helps to trap heat inside the sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag is fastened with a YKK® 3/4 length main zip on the left side, with a down-filled baffle running alongside to prevent a big cold spot at the entry. Anti-snag zip inserts and an anti-snag internal zip guard helps to prevent the fabric from getting caught and snagging or tearing on the zip. There's also a handy zippered internal stash pocket, perfect for storing gadgets like a phone or alarm clock or even a cheeky midnight snack!

The Ascent 500's left and right hand (zip) models can zip together to make one big sleeping bag, a bonus feature ideal for camping with a partner.

The Ascent 500 has a wide mummy shape design with an angled foot box, allowing the sleeping bag to spaciously surround the figure while preventing exposed cold gaps, ideal for fidgety sleepers who need some extra wiggle room.

Two storage sacks are included with this sleeping bag. The zipped cotton sack is designed to store your sleeping bag at home and give it more breathing room. Storing the bag in a more spacious pack allows the down filling to remain lofted, helping to increase its overall performance and lifespan.

A drawcord stuffsack is also provided to compact the bag and carry it on the move with less bulk. Stuffsacks are meant to be stuffed! So do your best to cram your sleeping bag inside instead of folding the bag away. Stuffing randomly helps to prevent folds and creases in the down, which will prevent cold spots and gaps from developing.
