A premium quality, ethically sourced expedition standard bag.
What makes Tundra bags stand out is that they use premium quality ethically sourced down from Poland. This is collected from the nests of birds that are kept for breeding and live on rivers, lakes and open farm land, moulting naturally four times a year. This naturally moulted down is then hand collected from the nests without disturbing the birds, who in turn are allowed to live to a ripe old age, doing what birds do naturally in the wild.
However ethics aside, the simple truth is that you to get a higher fill power and a better quality down from mature birds, which need to be three to four years old to produce fully developed, high quality down clusters.
This ethical down has a fill power of c.860 Euro standard whereas down from birds killed at 4-6 weeks struggle to better c.400! The higher the Fill Power means a softer fill, lighter weight and smaller pack size for your sleeping bag and the added bonus, you get a clearer conscience!
To protect the down, a waterproof 'Dry and Light' fabric (3000H/H - not seam sealed) is used around the head and footbox offering an additional level of waterproofing to protect against water droplets, hoar frost melt, condensation etc.. They also place extra filling around the foot area to offer your feet an extra 5 degrees of protection. The hood features a hidden draw cord, a baffle-protected zipper running along the top of the bag away from the ground and a higher collar at the back to cover the neck.
