What is the Sea to Summit Boab -9°C | 15F Long Recycled Synthetic Sleeping Bag?
The Sea to Summit Boab Sleeping Bag is designed for those who crave extra space and comfort while camping or van adventuring. Its generous cut and user-friendly features make it perfect for side sleepers or those who find mummy bags too restrictive. Plus, it's made from 100% recycled materials, offering warmth and comfort with a lighter environmental footprint.
What is it made of?
Insulation: The Sea to Summit Boab sleeping bag comes with REVIVE Loft insulation, which offers a soft, plush feel, making it incredibly comfortable against the skin for a restful night's sleep. This lightweight and highly compressible insulation allows the sleeping bag to be packed down small—perfect for easy storage and transport on your adventures. Despite its compactness, the insulation maintains excellent loft, ensuring it traps air efficiently, which is crucial for keeping you warm, even in damp or challenging conditions.
The insulation is Bluesign-approved, meaning it meets rigorous environmental, health, and safety standards. This certification ensures that the production process—from sourcing raw materials to creating the final product—adheres to responsible practices. With the Boab sleeping bag, you get reliable warmth, comfort, and peace of mind, knowing that your gear is more kind to the planet as it is to your outdoor experience.
Shell and Lining: The shell and lining are both made of 50D recycled polyester. These materials are lightweight and durable, and they are also Bluesign-approved, ensuring they meet environmental and safety standards by minimising harmful chemicals in their production.
To enhance the sleeping bag's performance, the shell is treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, providing water resistance without the use of perfluorocarbons (PFCs). PFCs are often used in waterproofing treatments, but they can persist in the environment and pose risks to wildlife and human health. By opting for a PFC-free solution, the Boab sleeping bag offers reliable protection from moisture while reducing its environmental and health impacts.
Additionally, the sleeping bag's fabrics are RCS-certified (Recycled Content Standard), verifying that they are made from post-consumer recycled materials. This certification ensures transparency and accountability in the recycling process, guaranteeing that the polyester used in sleeping bags comes from recycled sources like plastic bottles and other discarded items. By using RCS-certified materials, Sea to Summit is actively contributing to reducing the demand for virgin resources, decreasing waste, and promoting the reuse of materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.
What are its features?
The Boab sleeping bag is designed for flexibility and comfort. It features a full-length #5 zipper that extends all the way through the foot box, allowing you to easily adjust the ventilation.
With its double sliders, you can open the bag from the top or bottom, allowing you to control airflow on warmer nights.
For versatility, the bag can be entirely unzipped and laid flat, transforming it into a cosy quilt—perfect for various temperatures and different sleeping styles.
The hood is designed to fit a regular-sized Aeros Pillow, ensuring it stays securely in place throughout the night for added comfort. If you tend to move around in your sleep, the tapered rectangular shape provides ample space to roll over without feeling restricted. This design enables shift positions during the night without compressing the insulation, which is crucial for maintaining warmth, as compressed insulation can lose its heat-trapping properties.
With a comfort rating of -9°C (15°F), this sleeping bag is perfect for colder nights, offering a cosy and restful sleep without being too warm or too chilly. This rating ensures that the average sleeper stays comfortable even in freezing temperatures. For those who can tolerate colder conditions or are prepared to layer up, the bag also has a lower limit rating of -15°C (5°F), providing enough insulation to keep you warm in more extreme conditions. The bag is designed to maintain functionality even at the lower limit, making it an excellent choice for cold-weather camping and various environments.
