Technology

Sleeping Bags - Welded Construction

Welded, waterproof construction in hood and foot areas. The baffles in the hood and foot box and welded to the shell fabric and all fabric joining seams are taped from the inside. There are no stitch holes to allow moisture/ condensation into these areas and damage the down.

 

Sleeping Bags - Trapezoidal baffle

These uniquely shaped baffles are sewn together opposing one another. This construction keeps the chamber volume constant and provides excellent baffle stability. A tricot mesh wall between the baffles allows warm air to circulate while preventing the down from shifting. Used on colder-weather and premium bags.

 

Sleeping Bags - Full Baffle Collar

Full Baffle CollarCinch it down, or open it for venting—either way, this collar helps regulate heat at the neck of the bag.

 

 

 

Sleeping Bags - Expedition Cut

Since this bag is meant for extreme conditions, it has been sized with an extra two inches of girth in the shoulder area. The Foraker’s expedition cut gives you more room for extra layers, for dressing/undressing and added comfort if you’re waiting out a storm.

 

Sleeping Bags - Down Insulation

Down not only has a soft, comfortable feel, it has the best warmth-to weight ratio of any insulation available. Down is known for its unmatched thermal efficiency, its high compressibility, and its durability. The one limitation of down is that it loses much of its ability to maintain warmth when it gets wet.

 

 

Sleeping Bags - Chevron Shaped Baffles

Since down can shift within an individual baffle, we use chevron shaped baffles to limit this movement. The up-and-down chevron shape creates an obstacle to limit any unwanted side-to-side shifting of the down. These shapes are applied to slant, straight-wall, and sewn-through baffle construction in our down bag line.

Sleeping Bags - 750 fill power down

750-fill power refers to the loft or “fluffiness” of insulation per unit of weight. The higher the fill power, the higher the loft and insulating value of the down. Specifically, fill power is the space that one ounce of down occupies in cubic inches. The fill power of down used in sleeping bags generally ranges from 500 to 850.
