At Grüezi bag®, maximum sleeping comfort and functionality are the focus. This sleeping bag:

• provides an evenly pleasant sleeping climate;
• features a comfortable cut allowing sufficient freedom of movement;
• is lightweight and compact for easy packing.

Comfort climate

Its innovative DownWool® insulation ensures you are neither too cold nor too warm. The patented mix of down and wool acts like a natural air conditioner, maintaining a dry microclimate and balancing temperature fluctuations.

• High-quality down offers excellent insulation with minimal weight.
• Down loses efficiency when wet; wool keeps it naturally dry, preserving warmth without chemical treatments.
• Wool absorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture, releasing it gradually, preventing evaporative cooling, regulating body temperature, and neutralizing odors.
• DownWool® reduces energy needed for body temperature regulation, leaving more energy for recovery.
• Results in excellent insulation and a wide comfort range, making it a versatile all-rounder.

Cut

The sophisticated comfort cut allows restful sleep in mummy shape, side-lying with bent legs, or turning within the bag.
