Coleman Sleeping Bag Information

Insulation
	Coletherm®: Exclusive to Coleman®, Coletherm® is a synthetic material with hollow fibres that create pockets of air. The structure of the hollow fibre filaments traps a greater amount of air, improving the loft and temperature performance of the sleeping bag. The air pockets retain your body heat and reduce convective heat loss, keeping you warmer. Machine washing does not affect its performance.		Coletherm® Micro: Coletherm® Micro has been specifically created for Coleman®. This high performance synthetic insulation is very light and compressible, resulting in extremely compact pack sizes for easy carrying. It is a bonded micro fibre insulation that works by trapping air around the fibre for a more effective performance. It offers a great heat to weight ratio and has reduced fibre migration, so no cold spots.
Performance testing Independent temperature testing For your comfort and peace of mind, sleeping bags are tested at independent testing laboratories to determine their temperature ratings and to comply with the temperature rating protocols of the European Standard (EN 13537-4.3.3) Mannequin Methodology. However, when choosing a bag, always bear in mind that temperature ratings are given as a guideline only. Each sleeping bag user reacts differently according to the following factors: Physiology of the user – male or female, level of tiredness, age, diet, body mass and clothing Weather conditions Ground insulation Apply common sense when making your decision, taking into account the likely conditions of use and your individual requirements. Inexperienced campers should always use the Comfort temperature. Materials testing Sleeping bags are subject to stringent materials tests before production commences. Fabrics, fibres and zips are all put through their paces to ensure that the products you buy have a long lifetime, are cosy and warm and give exceptional, safe performances time after time.		Temperature ratings The definitions provided in the European Standard are: Comfort: Temperature calculated for a standard woman* who is not feeling cold (no shivering) and in a relaxed posture. Limit: Temperature calculated for a standard man* in situation of fighting against the cold (posture is rolled up inside the sleeping bag), but in thermal equilibrium and not feeling cold (no shivering). Extreme: Temperature calculated for a standard woman* in a situation of high cold stress and at risk of hypothermia. * Standard woman: 25 years old, 60kg, 1.60m, 1.62m2 * Standard man: 25 years old, 70kg, 1.73m, 1.83m2
The sleeping bag is one of the most important components of your camping or trekking gear. Being kept awake at night by a lack of comfort or feeling cold can quickly ruin any trip. Whether you’re camping with your family or trekking in a more extreme environment, choosing the right sleeping bag means making some important decisions.
		In order to ensure a more comfortable night’s sleep the Coleman® and Coleman® Exponent® range features the Easy SleepTM system, incorporating clever solutions that keep you cosy and warm throughout the night.
	ZipPlowTM: The ZipPlowTM prevents zipper snags by ploughing fabric away from the zipper. Avoiding both snagged material and zipper teeth damage.		Auto-lock zipper: When the zipper closes it locks in place and does not open while you are sleeping, ensuring that it only moves when you want it to.
	Thermo collar: A large percentage of heat loss in a sleeping bag is through the head and shoulder area. The thermo collar is an additional baffle of insulation in the shoulder area that minimises heat loss and provides added protection from the cold.		Pillow pocket: A soft flannel pocket that holds a pillow and secures it in place, offering a more comfortable night’s sleep.
	ThermolockTM zipper baffle: A baffle of insulation runs down the length of the zipper reducing heat loss through the zipper, keeping you warmer.		3D foot area: For more room and comfort while sleeping.
	Security pocket: Allows you to keep your valuables close to you while you sleep.		Comfort CuffTM: Surrounds your face with softness.
	Outside pocket: To keep your valuables securely stored during the night.		*Not all sleeping bags carry all features.
