Lightweight down sleeping bags from deuter: highest quality standards for maximum sleep comfort

Down sleeping bags are hard to beat when it comes to pound-for-pound warmth. Under the stars, below freezing temperatures and you still get a warm and cozy night’s sleep. Especially on hiking trips that span several days in winter. But for camping in the outdoors through the summer and even bikepacking, a down-filled sleeping bag offers the perfect combination of maximum sleep comfort, optimized insulation, and small pack size / low weight. For traveling through dry and colder climatic environments, nothing beats a down sleeping bag.
Down feathers have excellent moisture management properties. They absorb moisture and wick it away. But care should be taken in high-humidity areas and where it’s likely to rain a lot. The down fill can end up clumping together, which impairs its insulation performance. In areas prone to persistent rain, or with bodies of water, or in the Tropics, down sleeping bags are therefore not the ideal choice. 

Sleeping bags with down fill - the advantages

  • Low weight with high insulation performance
  • Compressible: Packed size 53% smaller than a comparable synthetic sleeping bag
  • Moisture managing properties for a better night’s sleep
  • For use in drier climates
     

All of deuter’s down sleeping bags are filled with high-quality down and feathers that come from certified operations. These are sewn into complex trapezoid-shaped baffles for optimum distribution and retention. This means no cold spots where fill is missing and the cold can penetrate. And no matter how many times it is packed away and unpacked, ‘gaps’ in the fill do not appear.

Packing tips from trials champion Hans Rey: Don’t roll it - stuff it! It saves time and down feathers are unaffected by mechanical compression. If you fold or roll your sleeping bag, then the same areas, seams and fibers will become worn and kinked. By stuffing your bag into its sack, you ensure the compression is always random. By following these down sleeping bag care tips (DE) your down sleeping bag will last for many years.
 

Down sleeping bags for men & women: The right fit for the best insulation

The way your down sleeping bag fits is an important factor in how well it will insulate. If it’s too long or too wide, it will take longer for your body heat to warm up the dead space. If it’s too narrow or short, you will end up overly compressing the down in certain sleeping positions or with your body weight, resulting in cold bridges. As body size is often the main difference between men and women, deuter offers women's sleeping bags for shorter people of all genders with narrower shoulders. The men’s sleeping bags (or regular fit), tend to be longer than the women’s models.

Our top tip for a good night’s sleep in the outdoors: Aside from having the right down sleeping bag, you also need a good thermal sleeping mat. The damp and cold from the ground can rise up and make a big difference. Also, make sure you don’t go to bed with sweaty or damp clothing on, and eat well so that your body has the energy it needs to generate heat.

Lightweight deuter down sleeping bags for moderate temperatures

Looking to buy a down sleeping bag for the summer that weighs under 1 kg? If sleeping under the stars in below-freezing winter conditions isn’t on your bucket list of things to do, then our down-filled sleeping bags with a Comfort temperature rating of between 10° and 0 °C are the right choice for you. These are also known as 3-season down sleeping bags because they are suitable for spring, summer and autumn camping. Note: The number that features in the name of the various models represents the fill weight. The higher the fill weight, the warmer it is, and the lower the temperature you can spend a comfortable night’s sleep in it.

Responsible Down Standard: Certified feathers for all deuter down sleeping bags

We care about animal welfare. The down and feathers we use in our sleeping bags comes exclusively from farms and producers that comply with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). This ensures that the geese do not suffer in any way and produces the best quality down with particularly good lofting capabilities, and therefore better insulation. The down we use comes from northern China, from fully-grown free-range geese that are reared for the food industry. Live plucking is strictly forbidden. Their down is a by-product of meat production. And force-feeding is also banned, because fois gras is not considered a delicacy in China, and there is therefore no demand for it. All RDS criteria and the traceability of the supply chain are checked by independent certification bodies during unscheduled visits.
