Patagonia takes 45 years to launch new sleeping bag collection

02/03/2017
Outdoor brand Patagonia has applied its 45 years’ experience of selecting materials and of designing, constructing and field-testing down products to launch a new collection of down sleeping bags. It has said the development is a tribute to a sleeping bag that founder, Yvon Chouinard, constructed for himself in the 1970s out of frustration at the inadequacies of the products on the market at that time.

Its new collection comprises 12 sleeping bags with a shell made from Pertex Quantum fabric, which features Y-shaped filament technology to create a shell that Patagonia has said is nearly half the weight and twice the strength of its other down shell fabrics.

Insulation comes in the shape of 850-fill-power traceable down, which is goose down traced from farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked.
