Grüezi bag - outstanding sleeping bags thanks to unique insulation

Restful sleep is essential for people. No matter how and where you are travelling around the world.

That's why Grüezi bag places particular emphasis on sleeping comfort when developing sleeping bags. Grüezi bag has developed its own DownWool insulation for this purpose. A smart combination of 70% down and 30% wool.

DownWool insulates even in high humidity and ensures a pleasantly dry warmth in the sleeping bag. Weight and packing volume is comparable to pure Down sleeping-bags.

When it comes to the size of the sleeping bag, Grüezi bag favours a comfort cut. This reduces cold bridges and increases well-being.

The result is a high-quality sleeping bag with outstanding sleeping comfort
