Professional FAQ: Sleeping Bag Technical Q&A
- Q1. What is "fill power" in a sleeping bag, and why does it matter?
-
Fill power (FP) measures the loft and insulation efficiency of down fill. An 800+ FP in your sleeping bag means excellent warmth-to-weight, superior puffiness, and maximum compressibility.
- Q2. How does the shell fabric impact the performance?
-
Shells like 20D 400T ripstop nylon are lighter and much more abrasion resistant than traditional polyester, while DWR (Durable Water Repellency) keeps insulation dry and effective.
- Q3. What international standards are applied?
-
Our sleeping bags are certified to ISO 9001 (quality management), EN 23537/ISO 23537-1:2016 (temperature rating), OEKO-TEX 100 (safety), and SGS-tested waterproof/thermal metrics.
- Q4. How are sleeping bag seams tested?
-
Seam strength is verified per ISO/ANSI standards (typically 13935-2), simulating field stresses and ensuring 8kgf minimum hold before seam rupture.
- Q5. What is RDS certification?
-
RDS (Responsible Down Standard) guarantees that the down in your sleeping bag is ethically sourced, traceable, and cruelty-free, enhancing end-user confidence.
- Q6. Can you provide custom sizes, shapes, or logos?
-
Full customization—logo, size (length/width), double bags, unique hood/footbox geometry—is available for OEM/ODM orders; our digital design ensures accuracy and repeatability.
- Q7. What’s the recommended cleaning and maintenance method?
-
Use professional down-washing detergent (pH-neutral), rinse thoroughly, tumble-dry with low heat and “down balls” to restore loft. Avoid direct sunlight and strong detergents.
