Lightwave Firelight 250 Sleeping Bag

The Lightwave Firelight 250 is a high quality, ultra-lightweight down sleeping bag that is ideal for use in temperatures down to 5C. Manufactured wholly in Poland, the Firelight 250 is filled with the famed Polish white Goose down that is 100% ethically recovered. The down has a fill-power of 900 cubic inches as measured by the EU norm (and is equivalent to 970 cubic inches using the US standard). The Firelight 250 has a full length zip that lies on the top of the bag. The zip is protected by a single baffle. There is a neck collar that can be adjusted to close completely around the neck to provide a complete seal. The Firelight 250 comes in three sizes and is supplied with a compact stuff sack and a large storage bag.

Features of Lightwave Firelight 250 Sleeping Bag:

• Fill weight: 9 oz / 250 g
• Fill power: 900 EU (970 US) white Polish Goose down
• The most important part of a sleeping bag specification as the combination of fill weight and fill power (FP) is what provides the sleeping bag's ability to insulate.
• 9 oz / 250 g of 900 FP down will fill the same volume as 10 oz / 280 g of 800 FP down or 11 oz / 320 g of 700 FP down.
• Baffles: Box wall throughout
• Hood: Adjustable cowl
• Neck: No baffle
• Zip: Full length #5 YKK
• Zip baffle: Single
• The construction describes how the down is held in place (otherwise all the down would fall to the bottom) and what features are incorporated to maximise heat retention or, conversely, regulate your temperature. A bag as light as the Firelight 250 does not need to have sophisticated features as it is not designed for use in temperatures much below zero.
• Shell: 29 g/m² 15 denier nylon (Pertex Quantum)
• Lining: 29 g/m² 15 denier nylon (Pertex Quantum)
• Lightweight fabrics allow the down to loft and reduce the weight of the bag. Although there are lighter-weight versions of the Pertex Quantum fabric we are using, they offer a negligible saving in overall weight and, having a lower tear strength, are easier to damage.
• Stuff sack: 1 oz / 25 g
• Storage bag: 3 oz / 75 g
