Orion 400 SC Sleeping Bag | Dill Green

If you are looking for a warm yet compact and ultra-light slim-fit mummy sleeping bag that you can take along on your travels, the NOMAD® Orion 400 SC may be just right for you. This sleeping bag weighs only 725 grams, and thanks to its compact packed size you can easily take it with you in your rucksack. Ideal for backpacking travels, hikes through the mountains or long bicycle rides where every gram counts.

This is the ideal sleeping bag for you if you have a slighter and smaller build. Because the Orion 400 SC is both shorter and narrower, there are no wasted spaces and the sleeping bag fits perfectly in the places where it needs to.

The Orion 400 SC is made from super-light, breathable polyester, which feels soft and airy on the skin. The sleeping bag is filled with a mixture of water-repellent down and synthetic hollow fibre, ensuring outstanding warmth and comfort. We know that it’s usually the arms and feet that get cold fastest when you lie still for a long time, so we have added extra insulation in the chest area of this sleeping bag, as well designing a '3D foot box' structure (with additional insulation) to keep your feet warm.

The Orion 400 SC comes with a comfortable hood and padded neck collar, each with its own pull cord so that they can be tightened independently. By tightening the hood more closely, more warmth can be retained around your head, and the padded neck collar means that valuable body warmth cannot escape through the upper opening. It also keeps the neck nice and warm.

On the left side of this sleeping bag is a handy 2-way zip with a length of 155 centimetres that can be opened from both ends, which is useful when you need some fresh air around your legs at night. On the right is a second zip with a length of 51 cm that can be opened to crawl in and out of the sleeping bag. Inside the sleeping bag is a dedicated compartment for storing small, valuable belongings while you sleep, and if you need to get out of your sleeping bag at night – no problem – you can always find your zip thanks to the glow-in-the-dark zip pull.

The Orion 400 SC is finished with a PFC-free coating, giving it water-repellent properties without the use of harmful chemicals. The lining has been treated with Polygiene Stays Fresh® technology. This antibacterial treatment ensures that the sleeping bag remains fresh and free from odours for longer; it also means the bag needs to be washed less frequently.

The Orion 400 SC can easily be aired after use using the suspension loops at the base of the sleeping bag. It can then be packed in a very compact format using the compression stuffsack supplied. To store the sleeping bag for a longer period, use the roomy, breathable mesh storage bag.

The recommended maximum body length for this sleeping bag is 185 centimetres. If you are taller, then check out our Orion 400 or Orion 400 XL sleeping bags, and if you intend to travel in colder regions, our Orion 900 or even 1200 may prove more suitable.

Approximate comfort temperatures for the Orion 400 SC are 3°C for women and -2°C for men. This sleeping bag should never be used at temperatures below -18°C.
