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 249 grams of water. The entire sleeping bag allows a RET of 3.7^{m2 Pa/W-1}.

Sleeping bag construction

Thezipper of the sleeping bag is a branded Japanese YKK and the entire length is backed by a flap with a rigid flap, so it does not tear when fastening and unfastening. The slider pull is rotatable and allows 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 hood has an elasticated drawstring and can be pulled down nicely around the 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.

Which sleeping bag to choose?

TheWarmeace Viking 900 is 80 cm wide at the shoulders and 50 cm wide at the feet. If the sleeping bag is too narrow for you, you can reach for the Viking 900 170 cm WIDE version.

It's up to you whether you choose to zip up at the left or right arm. For right-handed people we recommend the left-handed zipper and for left-handed people the right-handed zipper, but this is not a rule. If you are travelling in a pair, keep in mind that two sleeping bags with opposite zippers can be joined together. Even if they are different lengths, just allow for the longer one to overhang the top.

TIP: You can also combine different models in the Viking sleeping bag range. For example, the Viking 900 170 cm Left Zip + Viking 600 195 cm Right Zip.
