Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Klimatic III Sleeping Bag is designed for trekkers and campers seeking reliable warmth during cooler 3-season conditions, particularly at higher altitudes. Its primary benefit lies in its efficient use of recycled materials for both insulation and fabric, offering a sustainable and effective solution for staying comfortable. A potential caveat to consider is its temperature rating, which, while suitable for many cool nights, may require additional layering in colder, bordering-on-winter conditions. Key features include POLARLOFT® synthetic insulation, durable recycled shell and lining, Wave layer construction for even warmth distribution, an Alpine fit for thermal efficiency, and thoughtful design elements like an anatomically shaped hood and foot-box, full-length zip baffle, and integrated collar.

FAQs

What temperature is this sleeping bag rated for?

The Mountain Equipment Klimatic III Sleeping Bag has a Comfort rating of 1°C (34°F), a Comfort Limit of -5°C (23°F), and an Extreme rating of -22°C (-8°F). These ratings are guidelines, and actual performance can vary based on individual metabolism, layering, and environmental factors.

Is this bag suitable for winter camping?

While it can be used in colder conditions with appropriate layering, its primary design is for 3-season use (spring, summer, autumn). For severe winter conditions, a bag with a lower temperature rating would be more appropriate.

How do I wash my sleeping bag?

It's best to use a specific synthetic sleeping bag wash in a large front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Always air dry completely or tumble dry on very low heat with dryer balls.

What is the 'Alpine fit'?

The Alpine fit is a more tailored design intended to reduce internal air volume. This minimizes heat loss by reducing the amount of air that needs to be warmed by your body, leading to increased thermal efficiency.

Can I use this bag in humid conditions?

Yes, synthetic insulation like POLARLOFT® performs better than down in damp or humid conditions, retaining more of its insulating ability when wet.

What is the pack size?

The pack size is approximately 37cm x 24cm x 21cm when compressed using the included sack.

What is the total weight of the sleeping bag?

The total weight of the Mountain Equipment Klimatic III Sleeping Bag is 1220g (2lb 11oz).

Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold

Ensure the hood and collar are cinched properly. Wear base layers and a hat. Check if the bag has been fully lofted. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for added warmth. Verify that the temperature is within the bag's comfort range.

Zipper is stiff or snagging

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or zipper wax to the teeth. Ensure the baffle is not obstructing the zipper.

Insulation feels clumpy after washing

Ensure the bag was dried thoroughly on a very low heat setting with dryer balls to help re-loft the insulation. If clumping persists, try a gentle cycle in the dryer again.

Bag doesn't pack down small

Ensure you are using the compression sack correctly and rolling the bag tightly from the foot end. Make sure the bag is completely dry, as moisture can add weight and bulk.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Uses a high percentage of recycled materials for insulation and fabric.
  • Effective warmth for 3-season use and cooler conditions.
  • Thoughtful design features like an anatomically shaped hood and foot-box enhance comfort.
  • Comes with a compression sack for efficient packing.
  • Durable construction suitable for trekking at higher altitudes.

Cons

  • May require supplemental insulation for temperatures nearing the extreme limit.
  • Synthetic insulation can be bulkier than down when packed to equivalent warmth.
  • Recycled fabrics may have slightly different performance characteristics than virgin materials.
  • Alpine fit might feel restrictive for those preferring a looser sleeping bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack the sleeping bag from its compression sack. Gently shake it to allow the POLARLOFT® insulation to loft up. For optimal warmth, allow the bag to air out for at least 30 minutes before use, if conditions permit.

Compatibility:

This sleeping bag is designed for use with standard sleeping mats. The full-length zipper is compatible with most bivvy bags or outer shells. The temperature ratings indicate its intended use for 3-season conditions; for sub-zero temperatures approaching the comfort limit or extreme rating, consider using a sleeping bag liner for added warmth and to keep the bag cleaner.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a full wash, use a specific synthetic sleeping bag wash in a large front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  • Drying: After washing, tumble dry on a very low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-distribute and re-loft the synthetic insulation. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing. Never store the bag while damp.
  • Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its breathable storage sack (if provided) or a large cotton bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods, as this can degrade the insulation's loft and thermal properties.
