Product Information

Full details

The Rab Radeon Sleeping Bag is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth and comfort on cool to cold nights, especially in damp conditions. Its key benefit is the Stratus™ synthetic insulation, made from recycled materials, which retains warmth even when wet and offers a high loft for cozy insulation. A potential caveat is its specific temperature rating; while comfortable down to 0°C and rated to -6°C for limited comfort, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold. Key features include its water-resistant Atmos™ fabric, anatomically shaped design for better sleep posture, and adjustable hood for heat retention.

FAQs

What is the temperature rating for the Rab Radeon Sleeping Bag?

The sleeping bag is rated as follows according to ISO EN standards: Comfort: 0°C (32°F), Limit of Comfort: -6°C (20°F), and Extreme: -24°C (-11°F).

Is the insulation suitable for wet weather?

Yes, the Stratus™ synthetic insulation is designed to retain warmth even when wet, making it suitable for damp conditions. The Atmos™ fabric also provides water resistance.

How do I clean my Radeon Sleeping Bag?

It is best to hand wash with a specialized synthetic sleeping bag wash or mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance, as some may allow low-heat tumble drying with tennis balls.

What are the dimensions of the sleeping bag?

The sleeping bag has a length of 200 cm (78.7 inches). The packed size is approximately 22cm x 40cm (8.7in x 15.8in) when using the compression stuff sack.

Can I use this bag in very cold, freezing temperatures?

The 'Limit of Comfort' is -6°C (20°F). While the 'Extreme' rating is -24°C (-11°F), this is for survival only and not for comfortable sleep. For temperatures significantly below -6°C, additional insulation like a liner or a warmer bag might be necessary.

What makes the design suitable for side sleepers?

The bag features sidewall baffles that increase volume and reduce pressure points, along with internal cordlocks positioned below the collarbone, enhancing comfort for those who prefer sleeping on their side.

What material is the sleeping bag made from?

The shell and lining are made from 20D Atmos™ recycled polyester ripstop fabric. The filling is Recycled Stratus™ synthetic sheet insulation, also 100% polyester.

Troubleshooting

Bag feels less warm than expected

Ensure the hood and collar are fully cinched. Check that the main zipper baffle is properly aligned to prevent drafts. Consider if the ambient temperature is below the comfort limit (-6°C). A sleeping bag liner can add extra warmth.

Zipper snags frequently

Use the anti-snag zip insert and guard. Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track before operating. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Sleeping bag smells damp or musty

Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing. Air it out thoroughly after use, especially in humid conditions. If odor persists, follow the cleaning instructions.

Insulation seems to have lost loft

Synthetic insulation can compress over time. Gently tumble dry on a very low heat with tennis balls to help re-loft it. Ensure proper storage uncompressed to maintain loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent warmth retention, even in damp conditions, due to Stratus™ synthetic insulation.
Durable and water-resistant outer fabric provides protection against weather.
Comfortable for side sleeping with effective baffle design and internal cordlocks.
Designed for a relaxed sleeping posture with an anatomical footbox and adjustable hood.
Made with 100% recycled materials, offering an eco-conscious choice.

Cons

May not be warm enough for extreme cold conditions, with an extreme rating of -24°C.
The packed size (22cm x 40cm) might be larger than some ultralight backpacking options.
Synthetic insulation can be bulkier than down for the same level of warmth.
Water resistance is good but not fully waterproof; prolonged heavy rain might require additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Rab Radeon Sleeping Bag is ready to use straight out of its included compression stuff sack. Simply remove the bag, shake it gently to allow the insulation to loft, and place it inside your sleeping mat. Zip yourself in, adjusting the hood and collar for optimal warmth.

Compatibility: This sleeping bag is designed to be used with a standard sleeping mat for insulation from the ground. It is compatible with most rucksacks due to its included compression sack. For colder conditions than its rating, consider using a sleeping bag liner to increase warmth.

Care: To maintain the performance of your sleeping bag:

Storage: Store the sleeping bag uncompressed in a cool, dry place, ideally in a large mesh sack (not the compression sack). This allows the insulation to breathe and retain its loft.
Cleaning: Hand wash if possible using a specialized synthetic sleeping bag wash or a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.
Drying: Line dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Tumble dry on a very low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help re-loft the synthetic insulation, if recommended by the manufacturer's specific care label.
Repairs: Small tears in the Atmos™ fabric can be repaired with tenacious tape or a fabric patch kit.
