PFAS Free: This product is free from PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

The Comfort Temperature: The Comfort Temperatures is based on the lowest temperature at which an ‘average’ woman (25 yrs. / 60 kg / 160 cm) can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position. This range ensures a comfortable sleep, also for inexperienced users.

The Limit Temperature: The Limit Temperature is based on the lowest temperature at which an ‘average’ adult male (25 yrs. / 70 kg / 173 cm) can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position. An experienced user can optimise the insulation qualities by his choice of clothing and further factors.

The Extreme Temperature: The Extreme Temperature is a survival only rating for an ‘average’ adult woman. They won't be able to sleep, but they will remain alive for six hours without the risk of death by hypothermia. Nevertheless, there will still be a risk of other damages (such as frostbite).
