The Montbell UL Super Stretch Down Hugger #5 is an incredibly lightweight and efficient 50 degree 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.
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.
Auto locking zipper has been integrated to limit zipper slip during the night. Vertical baffles have been narrowed to limit down migration and maximize loft.
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. Tapered stuff bag has a larger opening for more convenient packing.
Ballistic Airlight™ - 15-denier Ballistic Airlight™ nylon is astoundingly thin, weighing less than half of a 45-denier nylon of normal shells while offering similar strength. This strength comes from the manufacturing process where the nylon is repeatedly stretched to align the molecules, much like the tensilizing of steel, resulting in an extremely light weight, wind resistant, breathable and water resistant fabric.
Polkatex™ DWR - Elite best water repellant performance. Unlike other water repellent treatments, Polkatex™ DWR will retain its ability to keep you dry wear after wear, and wash after wash. Polkatex™ is a water based treatment with a fluorine finish that adheres to the fibers in treated fabrics to provide excellent water resistance. Polkatex™ also contains a cushioning agent that fills in the molecular bonds, giving them a unique elasticity. This elasticity allows the bonds to rebound from abrasion, and resist degradation from harsh detergents and oils. Polkatex™ is so durable that even after 100 washings it still retains 90% of its original repellency.
