Helsport Rago X-Trem Sleeping bag -16°C

Our sleeping bags are designed for maximum heat within the stated temperature range.

New sleeping bags can therefore feel a bit tight compared to a duvet that we are used to sleeping in.

If you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for comfort, there’s no harm in going up a size, and conversely, if you're willing to sacrifice a little comfort for warmth, you can go for a smaller sleeping bag.

If you're of a rather broad build, we also recommend going a size up, or choosing a lady's sleeping bag, as these are slightly roomier around the upper body.

Follow our size recommendations (height/width):

• Female; 173 cm; beginner: Rago Lady (175 cm)
• Female; 178 cm; experienced: Rago Lady (175 cm)
• Male; 182 cm; beginner: Rago (185 cm)
• Male; 188 cm; beginner: Rago Long (200 cm)
• Male; 190 cm; expert: Rago (185 cm)

Yes, you can wash your sleeping bag.

We also recommend using a sleeping bag liner to protect the sleeping bag against sweat and dirt. The sleeping bag liner is more durable and can be washed frequently.

• T-COMF: The green zone is called the comfort zone and within this temperature range most people can sleep comfortably in their sleeping bag.
  
  
• T-LIM: The yellow zone is called the transition zone from comfort to risk. In this zone, a lot of people can sleep comfortably, but some will start to freeze.
  
  
• T-EXT: The red zone is the risk zone and is defined as a zone in which a person can experience severe cold and be at risk of hypothermia (dangerously low body temperature). For example, an average woman can withstand a maximum of six hours in this zone.

This is often down to taste and comfort, but if you want the lowest possible weight, you should choose down. Down insulates better than fibers of the same weight, but it doesn't cope with moisture as well as fiber sleeping bags.
For example Rago

Fiber bags insulate better than down bags if they get wet. If you’re going hiking in a humid climate, fiber is the right choice.
For example Alta Superlight

This is a standard for how sleeping bags are tested and labeled, so that you can compare sleeping bags from different manufacturers easily.

Yes, it's possible.

When we're sent sleeping bags with a “broken” zipper, in 99% of cases it's just the slider that's worn out. If you replace it, it will be as good as new.

Stuffing it in is right!

We recommend that you always stuff your sleeping bag into the compression sack, instead of rolling it. This is the same whether you have a fiber or down bag.

Store your sleeping bag in a dry, well-ventilated place in a large storage sack.
