Warmpeace VIKING 600 180 cm

Warmpeace Viking 600 down sleeping bag

Thedown jacket for figures up to 180 cm weighs 1,110 grams without the cover, uses 600 grams of duck down for insulation and reliably insulates down to -9 °C.

TheWarmpeace Viking 600 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 to provide 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 of the inner side in the sun helps the moisture evaporate faster, even in cold 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 and assembly of the sleeping bag is done in Germany under strict standards.

Thefeather filling can absorb 180 grams of water. The entire sleeping bag allows a RET of 3.7^{m2 Pa/W-1}.

Thezipper of the sleeping bag is branded Japanese YKK and is backed by a full length flap with a stiff flap so the zipper does not snag. The slider pull is reversible and allows fastening from both the inside and outside of the sleeping bag. The zipper is also reversible, so in addition to the traditional unzipping, you can also unzip it from the feet up to possibly vent overheated leg room.

Which sleeping bag to choose?

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

In the Viking sleeping bag range, you can also connect different models together. For example, the Viking 300 170 cm Left Zip + Viking 600 195 cm Right Zip.

TheWarmeace Viking 600 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 wide version of the Viking 600 180 cm WIDE or use the Warmpeace Extender 180 wedge.

Thehood is equipped with an elasticated drawstring and can be tightened nicely around the head. As well as a 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.

TheWarmpeace Viking 600 is designed for spring to autumn. In the compression sleeve it takes up Ø 20 × 35 cm. It is a very popular sleeping bag across the wide outdoor public. It provides a reasonable ratio between the cost of its purchase and the service it provides to its user.

Thermal insulation capabilities of the Viking 600 sleeping bag

• Comfort -3 °C
• Limit -9 °C
• Extreme -28 °C

These temperatures are the result of standardised laboratory tests and are by no means the most important factor when choosing a sleeping bag. In fact, only the limit temperature is of interest and can be used 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 600sleeping 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.
