Haglöfs Launches Women's Sleeping Bags

Haglöfs is launching a new range of women's-specific sleeping bags for spring 2009 designed around women's shape and physiology.

The new Q-series bags - below -  have a fit which is slightly broader at the hip and narrower at the shoulder to suit the typical female physique, they're also shorter than the men's bags at 175cm long, while the male versions are available in 183 and 200cm lengths.


The closer fit should not just be more comfortable, but by eliminating air gaps within the bags, say around the shoulders, also make them more efficient. Haglofs has taken this a stage further as well with Q-series bags featuring 'extra thick insulation in the lower section to keep feet warm and snug'. Sounds good to us.

The bags also have improved warmth to weight ratios right across the range and are available in both down and synthetic versions. The down bags have a differential cut and box construction along with double baffles and a thermal collar.

The Q-series bags cover two and three-season conditions and use either 600+ fill power goose down or synthetic Trifusion insulation and all have sub-zero comfort ratings. If you need a bag for really extreme conditions, take a look at the brand's top-end Goga bag which uses mega-efficient 800+ fill power down.

The new Q-series bags are the shops shortly. More details at www.haglofs.se
