Mountain Equipment – Classic Eco 500 – Down Sleeping Bag

3-season sleeping bag with a down fill

The Classic Eco 500 from Mountain Equipment is a versatile down sleeping bag produced using resource-friendly production methods that is just as suitable for trekking tours in autumn as it is for high altitude mountain tours in summer. It is lightweight, easily compressible and made entirely from recycled materials. Its comfort temperature is measured at 0 °C.

Loose-fitting mummy shape

The comfortable fit is characteristic of sleeping bags in the Mountain Equipment Classic series. It offers you great freedom of movement despite its relatively narrow shape optimised for thermal insulation. In addition, the down insulation has a fill power of 700 cuin and is located in slanted box baffles. This construction reduces the weight of the sleeping bag while improving its thermal performance. Plus, the anatomically-cut hood consists of five baffles, which ensure that the down doesn’t slip and that your head always remains reliably insulated. Meanwhile, the foot section is made up of two baffles.

The special Earthrise-Shell is water repellent thanks to a PFC-free DWR coating. A draught collar also provides additional protection from the cold. This can easily be opened and closed using just one hand, thanks to the Lode-Lock closure – a combination of a magnetic and a mechanical closure. Moreover, the sleeping bag also includes a waterproof stuff sack as well as an extra bag for easy storage at home.

All in all, the Classic Eco 500 is an excellently balanced sleeping bag that provides thermal insulation and comfort for a wide variety of outdoor pursuits.
