What should you pay attention to when buying a down sleeping bag? 

To find the right model, you should pay attention to the following factors when buying a down sleeping bag:

1. Fill weight

The fill weight is a parameter for the amount of down used and determines the insulation performance. If you want to use your down sleeping bag mainly in spring and summer, a low fill weight is sufficient.

For year-round use, however, it is best to choose a 4-season sleeping bag with the appropriate filling.

2. Shape

The shape is also an important component when choosing the right down sleeping bag. A mummy sleeping bag is cut close to the body and thus achieves rapid thermal performance. If you prefer more freedom of movement and want to change your lying position more often, the egg shape is better suited for you.

These models are cut wider in the hip and leg area but still offer the same turbo thermal mode in the foot area.

3. Size and weight

Nothing is worse than a sleeping bag that is too small, offering no freedom of movement. Therefore, make sure to choose the right size before purchasing.

Some models, like our Down Pro 3 Season Down Sleeping Bag, are available in two versions. Therefore, it is available as a sleeping bag small pack size. Weight also plays a role in the selection. 

Our summer down sleeping bags are so-called ultralight sleeping bags and due to their small pack size, they fit comfortably in your hiking backpack

4. Temperature range

The specified temperature range is always a recommendation. We thoroughly test all models inside and out, and since we are true camping junkies, you can rely on our judgment 100%. 

5. Brand and quality

Alpin Loacker stands for quality. We use only high-quality & sustainable materials, which is also reflected in the loft of the down used. This is an important quality criterion. The higher the loft, the higher the quality of the filling.

Of course, we only use certified down – completely without animal suffering! We also rely on high-quality material compositions for the outer materials used,

6. Animal Protection

The welfare of the animals is our top priority. Our sustainable duck down is RDS certified. The RDS seal ensures that:

  1. No live plucking occurs.
  2. No force-feeding.
  3. The well-being of the animals is ensured at all times.
  4. The entire supply chain is documented by a professional, impartial certification body.
