Usage temperature:
We display the "comfort temperatures" on all our sleeping bags, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX) in compliance with European standard EN 13537 of 11/04/2002. The "comfort temperature" is the lower comfort limit at which a user in relaxed position is in overall thermal balance and is neither hot nor cold (determined for an average woman in normal conditions of use). Choose your sleeping bag according to this criterion.
However, this is what you need to know about temperatures:
A sleeping bag does not produce heat but retains the heat produced by the body. If you are tired and cold and you slip inside a cold, damp sleeping bag, it is very likely that you will feel cold no matter how good your sleeping bag is! These temperatures therefore depend on the person's resistance to cold (bulk, fatigue, etc.), equipment (mattress with insulation, etc.), clothing (naked, underwear, etc.) and weather conditions (humidity, wind, etc.).
Specifics for kids:
The higher the volume of air to heat, the more energy the body will use to keep warm and the more risk there is of getting cold during the night. Choose a sleeping bag that’s ADAPTED TO YOUR CHILD'S SIZE.
Similarly, your child will lose most heat through their head. In cold weather, you can put a hat on them.
Our environmental approach:
Quechua is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its products. For this sleeping bag we have used to Biton process to dye one thread in every two. Dyeing has an environmental water impact (consumption & pollution).
This is still not enough and that's why we are working to make this sleeping bag eco-designed one day.
