Recycled materials are playing an increasingly important role in the clothing and leisure industry. No wonder, the purpose is usually close to nature, clothing and sleeping bags are what separates the leisure adventurer from the raw nature and at the same time connects him with the cherished “Mother Nature”. And with natural or nature-friendly materials in the equipment, outdoor activists are known to be at the right address anyway.
This also applies to the Deuter-Orbit SQ sleeping bag, whose robust outer layer, designed for a long service life, consists entirely of recycled synthetic fibers. The filling or insulating layer, consisting of High-Loft Hollowfibre and 100 percent recyclable, provides pleasant warmth, the inner material made of a cotton blend fabric for a comfortable “feel”. The sleeping bag can be used as a blanket, for example, in a camper, as a full wrap also for cool nights (to – 5 0 Celsius). The pillow is removable.
The good environmental balance of this product – 12 percent greenhouse gases are saved in its production – is also helped by the fact that there is no PVC in the materials. The sleeping bag, for which there are also various accessories, is available in the colors caramel-teal or ink-teal and costs 150.00 euros. Available in specialized stores or at Deuter.
