Ideal for spring and summer adventures or youth group outings, it combines advanced materials and thoughtful design features to ensure a restful night’s sleep. Crafted with Polair Hex Shell, a durable hexagonal ripstop polyester, this sleeping bag is not only strong but also highly breathable and machine washable. The Polair Lining adds a soft, comfortable touch while maintaining durability and easy care. At its core, the Alpha Insulation provides exceptional warmth with excellent loft, yet compresses into a compact pack size for effortless portability. The mummy-shaped design tapers from the shoulders to the foot, enhancing thermal efficiency and reducing bulk, while the off-set double-layer construction and horizontal stitching ensure even insulation distribution, eliminating cold spots. A 3D hood with shaped sides and a drawcord closure minimizes heat loss from the head, and an insulated adjustable shoulder baffle** helps retain warmth within the sleeping bag. The auto-lock two-way zip is equipped with anti-catch piping to prevent snags, and an insulated zip baffle reduces cold spots along the zipper line. The zip can be opened from inside the bag for adjustable ventilation, while the woven zip puller makes operation effortless. For added convenience, the bag features an internal pocket for storing small essentials and hanging loops for easy drying. Independently tested to EN 23537:2016 standards, the Nitestar Alpha offers reliable and accurate temperature ratings, giving you peace of mind in varying conditions.
