Weighing just 0.665kg, this high-performance 2 season mummy sleeping bag is designed for backpackers, trekkers and fast-and-light campers who need reliable warmth while keeping pack weight low. Its premium 90/10 700 fill power goose down provides excellent loft and an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, making it a strong choice for late spring to early autumn use.
Unlike untreated down sleeping bags, the Arctix 200 features Hydro Barrier coated down, helping it stay drier for up to four times longer in damp conditions. This supports loft retention and thermal efficiency, especially useful when weather conditions change overnight.

The ergonomic mummy shape, insulated shoulder baffle and 3D insulated zip baffle work together to minimise heat loss. A structured 3D hood with multi-cord adjustment helps maintain warmth around the head and shoulders. Certified to ISO 23537-1:2022, the temperature ratings provide dependable, independently tested performance data. Supplied with a 3-strap compression stuffsack and a mesh storage sack to preserve loft, it also includes a 2 year warranty, extendable to 3 years when registered.
