Quantum Bags all have the Quantum Expander, an ingenious way of adjusting the volume of your sleeping bag to respond to changing conditions. This bag category allows you to choose a sleeping bag with either down or Polarguard 3D fill that will serve you over a much wider temperature range than previously possible.


FEATURES:

  • Upgrade tie-in loops stabilize upgrade liner

  • Velcro® tab at zipper sliders stay in place when venting

  • Insulated draft tube extends to bottom of bag and is not sewn through, eliminating cold spots

  • Performance-cut mummy shape is more efficient and saves weight, reducing girth at shoulder, hip & legs

  • Multi panel, contoured footbox

  • Contoured hood forms around head to seal in heat

  • Differential cut maintains maximum loft

  • Expandable draft tube provides additional room for warm temps and layering space for colder temps

  • Insulated draft collar with offset drawcord seals in heat below the shoulders

  • Side block baffle keeps down in place

  • Slant baffle construction ensures consistent thickness of insulation

  • Snag guards prevent fabric from catching in the zipper

  • Two-way locking zipper sliders stay in place when venting

Great bag
i use this sleeping bag sice 3 years, i used it in the Himalaya and for winter trips in the alps.
You can sleep outside without a bivy bag, the Conduit shell material is waterproof. I had no problems at temperatures down to - 28°C.
The quantum expander gives you extra space for comfortable sleeping or for changing the clothes inside the bag.
