Down Sleeping Bags

Warm Sleeping Bags

Down sleeping bags are different from traditional sleeping bags. These extremely warm sleeping bags are stuffed with down insulation to provide extra layers of warmth. If you own a down jacket, you’ll already know that down insulation offers fantastic warmth. Down is the soft, fluffy, lofty material found under duck and goose feathers and is considered one of nature's best insulators. A feather sleeping bag will make you feel like you’re wrapped up in your duvet at home. Packing up for a camping trip? Be sure to check that your Tent poles are all in order before heading off.

At Decathlon, you’ll find down sleeping bags from top outdoor brands such as Simond and Forclaz designed for sleeping in exceptionally cold temperatures. The mummy-shaped design and ergonomic hood provide extra coverage and warmth. While the 3D structure of down sleeping bags prevents thermal bridges. If you’re fed up with being woken up early on camping trips by the bright early morning sunlight, you’ll need to upgrade your tent to a blackout tent.

Down products require a little more care, and it’s important to let them breathe while being stored. So when not in use, store them loosely in a bigger bag than the bag it comes in or not in a bag at all, if you prefer, to keep them fresh and the insulation nice and lofty. It’s a good idea to wash your down sleeping bag by hand in the bath or a large washing machine. Make sure it dries thoroughly and that you re-loft the down by shaking it or putting it in your tumble dryer with some tennis balls.
