Mountain Hardwear Ghost SL -40

Ekstrem sovepose!

Jeg har ikke brukt den selv - impulskjøp for noen år siden, men her er litt fra omtaler på nett:

One of the warmest bags in the world — from a world class manufacturer — and made with high quality fabrics and well crafted. This extreme weather /survival sleeping-bag rated is rated to Minus Forty Degree's (-40F/-40C) and even if not used in those temperatures, it can make for a comfortable nights sleep especially for those that sleep cold or need to warm up quickly as soon as they get in their sleeping bags.

This is a very roomy sleeping bag and has numerous pockets inside for cell phone, watch, earplugs or other small personal items (ipod, snack,etc..). There are very generous amounts of high quality 800 fill down throughout this bag and evenly spaced in all areas including around the head and feet and everywhere in between.

The zipper, although it might snag sometimes, is very durable and has a protective flap on the outside which can help shed snow or rain/water and on the inside part of the entire length of the zipper there is a long tube of down constructed as to make up the empty space where the zipper closes both side of the bag together.

There are a few pull cords near the head and numerous velcro closures and button and neck collar. Obviously this bag was made with the harshest weather in mind and I cannot think of anything negative to say about the quality or construction or of any feature that could be missing.

This is a winter expedition down sleeping bag, rated to -40 fahrenheit. It is insulated with 800 fill down and has a waterproof/breathable outer shell made from conduit, Mountain Hardwear's proprietary membrane.

i purchased a long size so i could stow some gear around my feet. this bag replaced a synthetic fill expedition bag, also rated to -40f, which served me very well for a long time. it weighs about five pounds.

the design and manufacturing quality of this bag is uniformly outstanding. the zipper is backed by two full draft tubes and is covered on the outside with two stiffened parts of the outer shell that run the entire length of the zipper, and the fabric underneath the zipper is a thicker, more robust nylon to prevent snags.

the draft collar around the neck is shaped to leave a little space in the middle and completely surrounds to prevent drafts. the two ends of the collar attach with velcro near the zipper, and the scratchy velcro strip mates to an extra strip on the same size - so even if you don't use the velcro, the rough edge won't bother you.

the hood cloaks your head - it is well-shaped and has a lot of down. two elastic drawcords pull the collar and hood tight, leaving as much or as little of your face showing as you might want. it has a small interior zippered pocket that holds a headlamp and a few other small items.

the toe box is full and doesn't bother my size 11 feet. It's a roomy bag at the shoulders, which i like a lot. an interesting design feature is that the baffles are welded to the outer waterproof/breathable membrane rather than stitched - so no needle holes on the outside. no down leaking anywhere.

Technology:

- Dry.Q Elite: Dry.Q Elite is used in our most premium waterproof-breathable products. It offers the most comfortable level of breathability by combining high moisture-vapor transfer rates and air permeability at all body temperatures. Traditional waterproof-breathable technologies require high levels of user exertion (high body heat) before the breathability kicks in. Dry.Q Elite is instant-on technology. It starts breathing the instant you put it on, regardless of temperature or level of exertion for waterproof, windproof performance like youve always wanted, guaranteed.

- Q.Shield Down: Q.Shield DOWN is a giant leap forward in down performance. Down fibers are infused with a permanent water repellency that helps maintain insulating performance even when exposed to moisture.
