Down Sleeping Bags
Are you a true outdoor enthusiast looking for the perfect sleeping bag for your next adventure? A down sleeping bag from NOMAD combines warmth, comfort and low weight, making it ideal for camping, trekking and backpacking trips.
Whether you're hiking through the mountains or camping during colder nights, a down sleeping bag offers an excellent balance between insulation, pack size and comfort.
Why choose a down sleeping bag?
Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
A down sleeping bag provides outstanding insulation while remaining lightweight. Down traps body heat efficiently, keeping you warm even in low temperatures without adding unnecessary bulk.
Lightweight and compact
Because down is naturally lightweight and highly compressible, a down sleeping bag packs down very small. That makes it perfect for multi-day hikes, trekking adventures and long-distance travel where every gram matters.
Durable performance
High-quality down maintains its loft and insulation for years when cared for properly. Store your sleeping bag loosely in a large mesh storage bag between trips so the down can breathe and retain its volume.
Breathable and comfortable
Down offers excellent breathability and moisture regulation, helping prevent a clammy or overheated feeling during the night. This creates a comfortable sleeping climate in a wide range of conditions.
Which down sleeping bag suits you best?
When choosing a down sleeping bag, you’ll usually choose between a mummy sleeping bag and a rectangular sleeping bag.
Mummy sleeping bags
A mummy sleeping bag is ideal for colder nights thanks to its close-fitting shape. Because less warm air escapes, it delivers maximum thermal efficiency while remaining lightweight and compact. Perfect for trekking and backpacking adventures where performance matters most.
Rectangular sleeping bags
A rectangular sleeping bag offers more room to move and provides a spacious, comfortable feel similar to sleeping under a blanket at home. Many rectangular models can be fully unzipped and used as a blanket, and some can even be zipped together with a second sleeping bag for shared sleeping comfort.
What should you look for when buying a down sleeping bag?
Comfort temperature
Always check the comfort temperature rating when choosing a sleeping bag. If you plan to use your sleeping bag in different climates, good ventilation options are important for warmer nights. During colder conditions, a sleeping bag liner can add extra warmth and comfort.
Fill power (FP / CUIN)
Fill power indicates the quality and loft of the down. The higher the number, the better the insulation performance relative to weight.
- Below 650 CUIN: good quality
- 700–800 CUIN: high-quality down
- Above 850 CUIN: premium down insulation
Fill weight
Fill weight refers to the amount of down used inside the sleeping bag. The combination of fill power and fill weight determines the overall warmth and insulation performance.
Down ratio
Down insulation is made from a blend of down clusters and small feathers. A ratio such as 90/10 means 90% down and 10% feathers. The higher the down percentage, the better the insulation and compressibility.
Water resistance
When down becomes wet from condensation or rain, it loses part of its insulating ability. That’s why hydrophobic down with a water-repellent treatment is an important feature for outdoor adventures. All down products from NOMAD use hydrophobic down technology.
Responsibly sourced down
All NOMAD products containing down and feathers are certified according to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). This guarantees that animals are treated with respect and protected from unnecessary harm.
