Sleeping Bags
Synthetic Fill
Synthetic fibers are wafer-thin and particularly lightweight. They are characterized by very low moisture absorption and increased breathability. This makes them a great choice for humid areas.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Synthetic Fill
Synthetic fill is made from microfibers – chemical compounds such as polyester or polyamide. It’s a man-made product, which makes it possible to reinforce specific properties. Even when wet, it retains its thermal properties, in contrast to natural fibers such as goose down. It’s quick-drying, robust and easy to clean. However, synthetic fill doesn’t match goose down in terms of loft, comfort level and compressibility.
Sensofiber
Sensofiber is a soft, high-loft polyester microfiber fleece that can trap huge amounts of air. It reduces heat loss from radiation and keeps you toasty warm. The fine fibers also quickly wick away moisture from your body and provide a comfortable microclimate. Even when wet, Sensofiber retains its thermal properties, dries quickly, is durable, robust and low maintenance.
- reduces heat loss and wicks away moisture
- retains its insulating properties even when wet
- easy to clean, quick-drying and durable
Sensofiber Eco
Sensofiber Eco is a synthetic fiber insulation made from 100% recycled polyester obtained from household and industrial waste. The special arrangement of the fine microfibers guarantees a high level of body heat retention. Even when wet, it retains its thermal properties, dries quickly, is durable, robust and low maintenance.
- made from 100% recycled plastic
- high heat retention, dries quickly and is low–maintenance
- climate-friendly and CO2-efficient production
PrimaLoft® insulation
We use high-quality and environmentally friendly PrimaLoft® materials for our synthetic bags to offer optimum thermal comfort.
PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Eco
PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Eco features all the necessities for a thermally efficient insulation and adds the benefits of softness, packability, and loft. The performance experts at PrimaLoft, Inc., have combined 60%-recycled materials with advanced fiber technology to create a high performing eco-friendly insulation for immediate warmth without the bulk.
CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION
All synthetic fill VAUDE sleeping bags feature special chamber constructions that prevent the fill from shifting for reliable thermal regulation.
Single-layer Construction
With single-layer construction, we sew only one layer of lining fabric directly to the outer and inner fabric to insulate your VAUDE synthetic fiber sleeping bag. The fill is breathable, durable and easy to clean. Even when wet, the sleeping bag insulates and it dries quickly. We use this construction exclusively for our ultralight and summer sleeping bags.
- breathable, durable and easy to clean
- dries quickly and insulates even when wet
- used for ultralight and summer sleeping bags
Two-layer Construction
In sleeping bags with a two-layer construction, we use two layers of lining for optimal thermal insulation. One layer is sewn to the outer fabric, the other to the inner lining. The seams are offset to prevent cold spots. The fill is breathable, durable and easy to clean. Even when wet, the sleeping bag insulates and it also dries quickly.
- optimal heat insulation without cold spots due to two layers of lining
- breathable, durable and easy to clean
- dries quickly and insulates even when wet
Quiltless Construction
In this construction, the fill of your VAUDE sleeping bag is made without quilting seams. The advantages are that cold spots can’t develop along the seams and moisture can’t penetrate. This makes Quiltless Construction sleeping bags the ideal choice when heading into humid areas and is also great for sleeping outdoors without a tent.
- seamless construction for the fill
- effectively protects from condensation and cold temperatures
- a good choice for more humid areas or overnight stays outdoors
RECYCLING
We have made it our business to constantly reduce our own ecological footprint – to minimize resource consumption and to recycle existing materials. We therefore increasingly use recycled materials in our sleeping bags in order to conserve resources and avoid waste. You can recognize products made of recycled materials by this label on the left:
PET Recycling
Collect, clean, granulate and spin into high quality polyester yarn – that’s what’s involved in the recycling of PET bottles. In the manufacturing process, we can reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 50% while completely eliminating the use of new fossil fuels. This conserves resources and keeps our ecological footprint small.
- high-quality polyester yarn made from recycled PET bottles
- reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 50 percent
- climate-friendly and resource-efficient production
