Whether you are ascending a peak or bivouacking under the stars, this sleeping bag ensures a restful sleep, essential for setting off again to conquer the summits.

• Size: 230 x 90 x 60 cm (suitable for a body size of 185 cm to approximately 200 cm. The Biopod Down Hybrid Ice Extreme 200 has an extra-large cut to create additional insulation space and improve the sleeping bag's insulation.)

• Bag dimensions: Ø 23 x 42 cm, compressed Ø 23 x 35 cm

• Storage volume: 17.5 liters, compressed 14.5 liters

• Outer and inner fabric: Ultra-light, robust, and recycled 20 Denier 380T Nylon (100% polyamide), incredibly soft, supple, and silky on the skin. This is achieved by passing the fabric over hot rollers to tighten the pores. This makes the fabric featherproof, mothproof, and naturally breathable without a plastic coating. The pores do not stick due to the BeSoDRY bio-dry impregnation or the durable BEMACRON dyes.

• Padding: 1,090 g of high-quality down (90/10 with a fill power of at least 800 cuin), additional layer on top: lavalan® AlmWolle wool composed of 85% virgin wool and 15% corn starch (PLA) Ingeo™ - Fill thickness of 60 g/m²

• Application area: Ideal sleeping bag for mountain hikes, treks, and expeditions well below zero.

Features:

• Adjustable hood with a face collar: The heat bump perfectly adapts to the shape of the head. In cold weather, only a small opening for the face remains, reducing heat loss in the face area.

• 3D collar: Automatically closes in the zipper area, thus preventing the formation of thermal bridges in the zipper area.

• Cord pocket: To prevent the 3D collar cord from being bothersome, it is securely stored in a simple cord pocket.

• Inner and outer pockets: For valuables and items that you prefer to keep within reach.

• Two-way zipper with automatic locking: The zipper can be opened and closed from each end, from the inside and outside. The automatic locking prevents accidental opening.

• White zipper: To better locate the puller in the dark.

• Zipper with anti-snag puller and robust double tape: Allows easier handling of the zipper without pinching the fabric.

• Zipper with underlying protective coating: To prevent heat from escaping and avoid thermal bridges.

• Complex preformed foot box: With numerous chambers to prevent thermal bridges and enough space for toes.

• Feater loops: The sleeping bag can be equipped with an optional Feater heating bag (Feater - The foot warmer).

• Chamber construction: Box-shaped chambers, H-shaped chambers (V-shaped), additional side wall construction, AlmWolle layer construction on top.
