What should you pay attention to when buying a down sleeping bag?
In order to find the right model, you should pay attention to the following factors when buying a down sleeping bag:
1. Fill weight
The filling weight is a parameter for the amount of down used and determines the insulation performance. If you want to use your down sleeping bag primarily in spring and summer, a low filling weight is sufficient.
For year-round use, however, it's best to choose a 4-season sleeping bag with appropriate filling.
2. Shape
The shape is also an important component when choosing the right down sleeping bag. A mummy sleeping bag is cut close to the body and therefore achieves rapid thermal performance. If you prefer more freedom of movement and want to change your lying position more often, the egg shape is better for you.
These models have a wider cut in the hip and leg areas, but offer the same Turbo warmth mode in the foot area.
3. Size and weight
Nothing is worse than a sleeping bag that is too small and doesn't give you any freedom of movement. So make sure you get the right size before buying.
We offer some models, such as our Down Pro 3 season down sleeping bag, in two versions. Weight also plays a role in the selection.
Our summer sleeping bags made of down are ultra-light and fit comfortably in yours due to their small pack size Hiking backpack.
4. Temperature range
The specified temperature range is always a recommendation. We put all models through their paces extensively and since we are true camping junkies, you can rely 100% on our judgment.

5. Brand and quality
Alpin Loacker stands for quality. We only use high-quality & sustainable materials - which is also reflected in the loft of the down used. This is an important quality criterion. The higher the fill power, the higher quality the filling is.
