What is the Neutrino Pro 900?
A reliable sleeping bag constructed with highly wind and water resistant materials, the Neutrino Pro 900 is ready to take on the elements. The warmth to weight ratio makes this sleep sack ideal for winter mountaineering, alpine treks, bikepacking or backpacking, thanks to its high packability, warmth and lightweight feel.
What is it made of?
Insulation: This sleeping bag uses 800 fill power, R.D.S Certified, European Goose Down for maximum loft (fluffiness) and insulation.
European Goose Down is some of the highest quality down on the current market. Therefore, making this sleeping bag super high grade and efficient, ensuring you get every bang for your buck.
The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water resistance to the down itself.
Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick break down.
Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 800 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 800 cubic inches of space when fully lofted.
R.D.S - The Responsible Down Standard ensures that the down is sourced from happy birds who haven't been plucked and have been well cared for.
Hydrophobic - Hydrophobic down dries out and lofts quicker, resisting moisture from sweat and condensation that may build up when you're catching z's in the bag. Fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finishes don't use harmful chemicals that cause damage to the environment - an excellent feature for more eco-conscious adventurers.
Outer fabric: The outer shell of this sleeping bag is made with 20D Pertex® Quantum Pro Recycled Nylon Ripstop, which provides sufficient coverage from harsher conditions, thanks to its soft, windproof, water resistant properties. The durable construction of this fabric helps prevent tears and snags whilst maximising the thermal efficiency of the insulation. The material thrives in cold, damp environments due to its ultra-thin water resistant coating, providing protection from light moisture alongside wind and cold.
The outer shell is also coated with a fluorocarbon free durable water repellent (DWR), again meaning the coating didn't use any chemicals that would harmfully impact the environment.
Lining: The Neutrino Pro 900 is lined with 20D Recycled Nylon, which provides a lightweight, breathable inner that still feels soft and cosy on the skin.
What are its features?
Starting with the bag's structure, a trapezoidal boxwall construction directs more insulation towards the body's surface by forcing the down to sit in a trapezoid shape within each baffle. This construction method is technically enhanced to optimise loft and warmth of the bag.
A weight saving, chevron shaped baffle design helps reduce movement of the down whilst optimising core warmth, encouraging the filling to sit in central points of the sleeping bag.
An adjustable hood closure system allows you to enclose the head whilst leaving breathing space for the face. Keeping your face out of the bag will help prevent moisture build up inside the bag itself, increasing much needed comfort for a good night's sleep. The head is one of the body's main heat sources. Therefore by keeping it inside the hood, you will be helping your body to regulate its temperature in colder climates.
There is also a close fitting, adjustable neck baffle, helping to decrease heat loss when moving around in the bag. By tightening the neck baffle, heat generated by the body from the neck down will be trapped inside with nowhere to escape. This saves the body from expending excessive energy to constantly generate more warmth, which will help you rest and recover more efficiently.
The sleeping bag is fastened with a YKK® 3/4 length main zip with a down-filled baffle running alongside to prevent a cold spot at the entry.
An overall mummy shape allows the sleeping bag to spaciously surround the figure while preventing chilly gaps from excessive space. The angled foot box allows a natural, relaxed sleeping posture, providing extra wiggle room by the feet, perfect for fidgety sleepers!
Two storage sacks are included with this sleeping bag. The zipped cotton sack is designed to store your sleeping bag at home whilst giving it more breathing room. Storing the bag long-term in a more spacious pack allows the down filling to remain lofted, helping to increase its overall performance and lifespan.
A roll-top waterproof stuffsack is also provided to compact the bag and carry it on the move with less bulk. Stuffsacks are literally meant to be stuffed! So do your best to cram your sleeping bag inside instead of folding the bag away. Stuffing randomly helps to prevent folds and creases in the down, which will prevent cold spots and gaps from developing.
