Tundra Down Sleeping Bags

Tundra Down Sleeping Bags by Warmth Unlimited offer a range of extremely high-quality sleeping bags with several unique features.

The fabrics are chosen for their maximum performance over a wide range of criteria that reflect what campers really appreciate when sleeping under canvas in often far from ideal conditions.

But it is the down filling of this line of sleeping bags that sets Tundra apart.

Compassionately Collected Down identifies the principle behind the source for Tundra Sleeping Bag fillings.

Tundra use only the best down which comes from farms where the geese and ducks live in free-range conditions and able to swim on ponds and rivers. These birds are kept for breeding, living to an old age, not artificially or force fed then killed when young to supply the food chain with the poorly developed down stripped off to provide lesser quality, less ethical products.

The birds providing the filling for Tundra Sleeping Bags have their down collected from their nests, ensuring a supply of high-quality down from compassionately treated birds enjoying a long natural life and ready to be carefully sorted, processed, washed and sterilised.

Birds killed at 4-6 weeks old do not produce the light, soft down of Tundra Bags and their feathers have much more stalk, leading to a much less soft feel and problems with stalks poking through even the thicker, heavier fabric other manufacturers use.

Tundra Sleeping Bags utilise two types of down:

• 860 cubic inch 'Pure Down': This is the best down Tundra can buy (apart from the very expensive Eider Down) with a very high fill power by Eurpoean test standards allowing them to claim they offer the best down insulation in the world in extremely lightweight sleeping bags.
  
  'Pure Down' is used in Tundra's Pure and Pure and Dry models.
• 700 cubic inch 'Natural Down': This is a blend of Grey Northern duck and goose down providing an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio.
  
  'Natural Down' is used in Tundra's Natural and Natural and Dry models.

Tundra Sleeping Bags also offer clever design features.

These include the Hot Foot area with 10% extra filling to prevent cold feet. There is a hidden draw cord in the hood, the zip runs along the top edge away from the ground, covered by a baffle and the neck is cut higher at the back than the front. All Tundra's bags have waterproof feet and head sections and the Dry bags are entirely waterproof fabric.
