Montbell UL Super Stretch Down Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag is an incredibly lightweight, warm and versatile three-season sleeping bag.
Montbell's Super Stretch™ System was born out of a desire to have a form-fitting sleeping bag that would let you move freely. A bag with a close fit for thermal efficiency, yet a loose fit for comfort. These two conflicting principles led Montbell to create their Super Stretch System for sleeping bags that fit like a glove but give you room to move.
With Montbell's patented Super Stretch System you get a closer fit which means one thing: a warmer more efficient bag. Montbell uses horizontal elastic stitching to draw the insulation closer to your body and keep heat in the bag where it belongs. This stops drafts, eliminates cold spots and improves the bag's thermal efficiency by reducing the volume of air your body needs to heat. A doulbe draft tube prevents air from circulating through the zipper. A shoulder collar prevents air from circulating through the top of the bag.
With the Super Stretch System, you'll experience a freedom of movement like never before. The durable, elastic stitching gently stretches with you as you move. The results is a bag that keeps you toasty warm while accomodating changes in position. Montbell has worked to create the ideal balance between close fit and exceptional expandability-now you can kick back, read a book, do your yoga or simply get a good night's sleep.
In a standard bag, large pockets of down tend to flatten out and lose their loft and warmth. To combat this problem, Montbell uses Multi-box construction to partition each down filled compartment into six vertical sections and six horizontal sections. Each of the resulting cells is separated from the next by an elasticized polyester mesh that is very lightweight and breathable. Because each cell is small, the down maintains its loft. And, with greater loft and a closer fit, less fill is needed to keep you warmer.
A unique foot adjustment system with a drawstring added to the last baffle, allows for increased adjustability. Tighten the drawstring around your upper ankles to trap warm air at the foot, simulating a bootie. Stuff the entire bag into the last baffle, eliminating the need for a stuff sack. Shorter users can close the last baffle off completely, reducing the amount of air space to heat.
MontBell uses only the highest quality 800 Fill Power Goose Down in this sleeping bag. MontBell chooses all gray goose down for its superior down-to-feather ratio. They gently rinse the feathers to rid them of allergy-causing dirt and dust. As a result, all MontBell down products are hypoallergenic, and since feathers are taken from the goose at the end of winter, that are laden with oils that improve water repellency. All this means that less down is needed to trap air, resulting in lighter, warmer bags.
All MontBell sleeping bags feature 15-denier Ballistic Airlight™ in both the shell and the lining. This new nylon replaces the 15-denier solid fiber nylon used previously. The calendaring process makes this fabric far more down proof than the previous nylon; imagine removing the ends from a tin soup can and then stepping on it, the can flattens and widens. When the nylon is woven and calendared, the result is fibers that are shingled on top of each other, and a fabric that is far more resistant to down leakage. This fabric weighs only 1.1oz per square meter. Despite its light weight, Ballistic Airlight™ is stronger than many fabrics that are twice as heavy.
