Synthetic Sleeping Bag Fjord Nansen VARDO XL — T Limit 8°C / 1.06 kg

Synthetic Sleeping Bag Fjord Nansen VARDO XL

Synthetic sleeping bag Fjord Nansen VARDO XL uses quick-drying ECO LOFT HOLLOWFIBER insulation, a POLI RIPSTOP outer and a vapour-permeable POLYCOTTON lining. This left-zip mummy bag has an 8°C limit rating, weighs 1,060 g and is specified for a user up to 195 cm tall.

Insulation and Materials

ECO LOFT HOLLOWFIBER is described as spirally twisted, siliconized polyester fibre that provides soft, lightweight insulation and dries quickly. The POLYCOTTON lining permits water vapour to pass through to help maintain the internal microclimate. The manufacturer places extra insulation in the lower part of the sleeping bag.

Construction and Practical Details

• The adjustable, profiled hood helps reduce heat loss around the head.
• A left-side zipper is described by the manufacturer as a high-quality two-speed fastening.
• A 3 cm ANTI-BITE strip helps prevent the fabric catching in the zipper; an internal thermal strip lines the zip.
• The mummy shape limits empty space that needs to be warmed.
• A 20 × 20 cm inner pocket holds small valuables and includes an owner's details card.
• Compression sack included.

Temperature Ratings and Testing

The manufacturer cites PN-EN 13537:2004, with selected models tested in a Weiss climate chamber using a 16-element DIANA manikin and collection temperature ranges calculated from the results. T max, T comfort, T limit and T extreme are separate benchmarks. T comfort refers to a standard woman and T limit to a standard man; T extreme indicates hypothermia risk rather than a normal use temperature.
