Full details
The Sea To Summit Boab Synthetic -9C Sleeping Bag is designed for campers and van adventurers seeking a spacious, comfortable, and durable sleeping solution. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight, compressible insulation with a roomy, comfortable design, ensuring warmth and ease of transport.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Boab Synthetic's spacious design?
The spacious, tapered rectangular fit provides more room for movement and comfort compared to traditional mummy bags, reducing feelings of restriction.
How does the REVIVE Loft insulation perform in damp conditions?
REVIVE Loft insulation is engineered to maintain its loft and thermal properties effectively, even when exposed to dampness or humidity, ensuring consistent warmth.
Can this sleeping bag be used as a quilt?
Yes, the full-length #5 zipper and zippered footbox allow the bag to be opened up completely and converted into a quilt for warmer weather use.
What materials is the shell and lining made from?
The shell and lining are crafted from a lightweight and durable 50D recycled polyester fabric.
Is the DWR treatment environmentally friendly?
Yes, the shell fabric is treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is more environmentally conscious.
What is the maximum user height?
The product information specifies a maximum user height, but the exact measurement is missing from the provided details. Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for precise dimensions.
How should I store this sleeping bag when not in use?
For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the bag loosely in a breathable sack or hang it up. Avoid storing it compressed in its stuff sack to preserve the insulation's loft.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught. Use a graphite pencil or zipper lubricant on the teeth if necessary.
Reduced warmth over time
Ensure the bag is clean and dry. Synthetic insulation can lose loft if compacted for extended periods or if contaminated. Follow washing and storage instructions carefully.
Dampness on the outer shell
This is normal in humid conditions; the DWR finish helps resist water penetration. Ensure the bag is thoroughly dried after use to prevent mildew and maintain insulation performance.
Bag feels clammy inside
Ventilate the bag by unzipping the footbox or main zipper, especially during warmer nights or strenuous activity. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for moisture management.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the sleeping bag and allow it to loft naturally. For best results, shake it out to help the insulation expand.
- If using an Aeros Pillow, insert it into the designated pillow hood.
Compatibility:
- Pillow: Designed to accommodate standard Aeros Pillows within its hood.
- Temperature: Rated for comfort down to -9°C (15°F). Use appropriate underlayers or a liner for colder conditions, or consider a warmer bag for extreme cold.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore loft. Do not iron or dry clean.
- Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in a breathable sack or hang it up. Avoid long-term storage compressed in its stuff sack, as this can degrade the insulation's loft.
- DWR Maintenance: To maintain water repellency, clean the bag and then apply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
