Why a down sleeping bag?
Gram for gram, down gives more warmth than synthetic fill and compresses smaller. Our Pyro range is filled with white duck down 90/10 – 90 % down, 10 % feathers – with a fill power of 750+ cuin. The higher this figure, the more loft and warmth each gram of fill delivers.

Built for the trail
Every Pyro has a finely adjustable hood and a generous zip baffle that keeps cold out along the zip. The AntiSnag slider stops fabric catching in the zip. On the trail, pack your Pyro into the compression sack supplied.
Down and moisture
Wet down loses loft and therefore warmth. Air your sleeping bag in the morning before packing it and let it dry fully after your trip. On trips with lots of rain or condensation in the tent, a synthetic sleeping bag is the safer choice.
Storage and care
Store your down sleeping bag loosely in a large storage sack, never compressed for long periods. How to wash and dry it is explained under Care & Cleaning. If something is damaged, our repair service can help.
