FAQs

What is the recommended temperature range for this sleeping bag?

The comfort rating is 6°C, and the lower limit rating is 1°C. These are independently measured according to EN ISO 23537-1: 2022 standards.

Can I wash this sleeping bag in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the sleeping bag in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and drying, as this can damage the insulation and materials.

How should I store the sleeping bag when not in use?

For long-term storage, it's best to keep the bag loosely packed or hanging in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it compressed in its stuff sack.

Is the shell material waterproof?

The shell is made of 210T polyester ripstop and is water-repellent, meaning it can resist light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.

What are the dimensions of the sleeping bag?

The sleeping bag measures 220cm in length and 80cm in width at the shoulders, tapering to 60cm at the foot.

How heavy is the Highlander Rayet Hybrid 250E?

The sleeping bag weighs approximately 1.58kg.

Does the sleeping bag come with a compression sack?

Yes, the Highlander Rayet Hybrid 250E comes with a compression stuff sack for easier packing and transport.

Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold

Ensure the hood and shoulder baffle are cinched tightly to prevent heat loss. Check if the bag is fully lofted. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for additional warmth.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. A light application of wax or silicone lubricant on the zipper teeth can help.

Bag seems damp or clammy

This can occur with significant temperature changes. Open the zipper slightly for ventilation. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing.

Bag won't compress small

Ensure all air is expelled from the bag before rolling or stuffing into the sack. Make sure the insulation is fully dry and has lofted properly; it may take time to regain full compressibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth retention due to mummy design and synthetic insulation.
  • Performs well in damp conditions, retaining insulating properties.
  • Comfortable design with a wider footbox and soft lining.
  • Includes useful features like a thermal hood, shoulder baffle, and security pocket.
  • Comes with a compression sack for easier transport.

Cons

  • May be bulkier when packed compared to down-filled alternatives.
  • Synthetic insulation can be heavier than down for equivalent warmth.
  • Lower temperature rating might not be suitable for extreme arctic conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the sleeping bag from its compression sack.
  2. Gently shake the bag to allow the insulation to loft.
  3. Lay the bag flat or inside your tent.
  4. Enter the bag and zip it up. Adjust the thermal hood and shoulder baffle drawcords for optimal warmth.

Compatibility:

  • The bag is designed to be used on its own or within a sleeping bag liner for added hygiene and warmth.
  • It fits comfortably within most standard single sleeping mats.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Drying: Do NOT machine dry. Air dry completely, preferably out of direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store loosely in its stuff sack or, ideally, hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid long-term storage compressed in the stuff sack, as this can degrade the insulation's loft and performance.
