NEW SLEEPING BAGS ENSURE COMFORT FOR ROBENS® FAMILY ADVENTURERS
Danish tent manufacturer, Robens®, has introduced a range of two superb
sleeping bags that interact perfectly with its Outback and Adventure tents. The
Killarney range is made to echo the home comforts expected by leisure campers
who appreciate the relaxed hood, rectangular shape and the ability to open up
duvet-style, while maintaining the performance levels expected by outdoor
adventurers from a technical brand known for producing great value, high
quality equipment.
The Killarney range comprises two models: the Killarney
Down (pictured left) and Killarney (pictured below right).
Both are perfect for all types of leisure user with features
including a large Thermocollar for warmth; full-length
insulated baffle and anti-snag guard over
the YKK zip; hood drawcords; and inside
pocket. Two Killarney bags can be zipped
together to make a double.
To ensure equal fill across the sleeping
bag the Killarney Down uses a vertical
box wall construction to hold the 700g of
80/20 duck down mix between the soft,
down proof polyester pongee outer and
Micro Cotton inner. The Killarney uses a
single layer of high loft mix of hollow
fibre insulation that performs well when
damp. The synthetic fill is also
appreciated by those who may be allergic to down and its
hydrophobic properties make it easier to keep clean.
Both sleeping bags have hanger loops for storage in
optimum conditions and a mesh storage sack for when
hanging space is at a premium. A cap compression sack
keeps bulk down when in the field.

Temperature and season ratings - To determine temperature limits of
sleeping bags objectively, the European Standard EN13537 on requirements for
sleeping bags specifies the use of a computer-controlled thermal manikin similar
in shape and size to the human body. A sleeping bag containing a manikin is
placed inside a temperature-controlled climate chamber and tested in
accordance with a prescribed procedure to determine the thermal insulation
properties of the bag. Recommended temperature limits are based on the
insulation properties measured and on knowledge of how the human body reacts
to thermal conditions during sleep.
On each of our sleeping bags we quote the recommended temperature ratings
for the following:
Tcomfort – lower comfort limit in standard use (woman)
Tlimit – lower limit when curled up in standard use (man)
Textreme – lowest extreme temperature for survival (woman)
Tmax – upper comfort limit without over heating (man)
The Killarney Down has a Tcomfort rating of 0°C, Tlimit -6°C, Textreme -24°C
and Tmax 21°C
The Killarney has a Tcomfort rating of 3°C, Tlimit -3°C, Textreme -19°C and
Tmax 22°C.
