FAQs
What is the best way to clean the sleeping bag?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing unless absolutely necessary. Follow the care instructions on the label.
How should I store the sleeping bag?
Store the sleeping bag loosely in a large storage sack in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods to preserve the insulation's loft.
What is the warranty on this sleeping bag?
The Mountain Equipment Klimatic II is backed by our Product Lifetime Guarantee.
Can I use this sleeping bag in winter?
While it has an extreme rating of -16°C, it's primarily designed for spring and summer use. For colder temperatures, a bag with a lower comfort rating or additional layering is recommended.
What is the significance of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials reduces environmental impact and promotes sustainability. The performance of the insulation remains high while supporting eco-friendly practices.
Is the sleeping bag waterproof?
The shell fabric is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It can withstand light rain. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, use a waterproof bivy sack or shelter.
What kind of sleeping pad should I use?
Any insulated sleeping pad is suitable. Consider the R-value (insulation rating) of the pad based on the expected temperatures and conditions you'll be sleeping in.
Troubleshooting
The sleeping bag feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the bag is fully lofted. Use a sleeping pad for added insulation. Check that the hood and collar are properly adjusted to minimize heat loss. Consider layering with additional clothing.
The sleeping bag is difficult to pack.
Use the compression sack provided. Start at the foot of the bag and compress it as you pack it into the sack. Ensure the bag is dry before packing.
The zipper is snagging.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the sleeping bag upon arrival at your campsite. Allow the insulation to loft fully for maximum warmth. Ensure the bag is fully unzipped to allow for expansion.
Compatibility: Use with a sleeping pad to increase insulation and comfort. Consider a sleeping bag liner for added warmth and to keep the bag cleaner.
Care: After each use, air the bag out fully to prevent moisture buildup. Spot clean any dirt or stains with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not machine wash frequently; follow the care instructions on the label. Store the bag loosely in a large storage sack (not the compression sack) to preserve the loft of the insulation.
