Wide down sleeping bag Warmpeace Viking 900 WIDE

TheWarmpeace Viking 900 Wide is the 430 grams heavier brother of the Viking 600. It is a very popular three-season sleeping bag with a focus on spring and autumn. The Viking 900 WIDE is the solution for colder nights or more wintery sleepers. Couples and married couples for traveling together often choose the Viking 900 for women and the Viking 600 for men.

TheViking 900 WIDE takes up 22 × 42 cm in the compression pack. The WIDE version for a 195 cm height weighs 1,680 grams without the pack. The down sleeping bag uses 1,127 grams of duck down for insulation and has a temperature limit of -14 °C.

The WIDE sleeping bag is 90 cm wide at the shoulders and 60 cm wide at the feet. The circumference is therefore 20 cm larger than the classic sleeping bag. If the sleeping bag is still narrow for you, you can add the Warmpeace Extender 195 wedge, which increases the circumference by another 20 cm.

Materials of the Warmpeace Viking 900 WIDE sleeping bag

Thesleeping bag is made of lightweight Loft Nylon DWR+, which can repel water up to 1,250 mm water column. This strong and mechanically durable material works well with the down fill and allows it ample loft.

Theinside of the sleeping bag is made of Loft Nylon. The material is comfortable to the touch and allows for quick moisture transport. The black color in the sun helps the moisture evaporate faster even in negative temperatures. This part of the sleeping bag is made in China.

Inside the sleeping bag, high quality duck feathers are used, which come from European farms. The feathers are of 90/10 quality, have a filling capacity of 600 cuin and are stored in "Z" chambers. The filling of the sleeping bag takes place in Germany under strict standards. The filling can absorb 331 grams of water. The entire sleeping bag allows a RET of 3.7^{m2 Pa/W-1}.

The sleeping bag'szipper is a branded Japanese YKK and is backed by a full-length flap with a rigid flap so it doesn't snag when zipping on and off. The slider pull is pivoting and allows for fastening from both the inside and outside of the sleeping bag. The zipper is two-way, so in addition to the traditional unzipping, you can also unzip it from the feet up to possibly vent overheated leg room.

The extended version of the Viking 900 WIDE is only available with a zipper at the left hand side. You can combine it with any Warmpeace Viking sleeping bag with a right zipper. And it will work even if they are different lengths, just expect the longer one to overhang the top.

The hood has an elastic drawstring and can be pulled down nicely around your head. So does the drawstring collar around the shoulders. The drawstring collar and hood together prevent unwanted heat leaks. Inside the sleeping bag there is a zippered pocket for small items such as glasses, headlamp or cell phone.

The thermal insulation capabilities of the Viking 900 WIDE sleeping bag

• Comfort -7 °C
• Limit -14 °C
• Extreme -34 °C

These temperatures are the result of standardised laboratory tests and are far from being the most important factor when choosing a sleeping bag. In fact, only the limit temperature is of interest and can serve as a guide when comparing the drying capabilities of sleeping bags of the same class and age.

Storage and maintenance of a down sleeping bag

The Warmpeace Viking 900sleeping bag comes with two covers: a storage and a compression cover. When not in use, store the sleeping bag in the spacious storage pack.

Wash the sleeping bag yourself in an automatic washing machine. Wash it at 30 °C, use the wool programme and special liquid detergents that are not aggressive to the down, do not disturb its structure, wash out well when soaking and do not crystallise in the fine folds of the filling. Never clean chemically. After washing, spin properly.

Dry the sleeping bag in a tumble dryer with warm air up to 30 °C or horizontally, shaking it occasionally and thoroughly. Allow several days for the sleeping bag to dry. Detailed instructions can be found on the label inside the sleeping bag.
