High-Loft Hollowfiber
Synthetic hollow fibres are processed to a filling fleece (by thermal bonding). To ensure good compression and high loft, silicone is added. Remarkable insulation rating, tear resistant and durable.
Deuter Thermo ProLoft
A special thermal process turns polyester fibres into top quality technical Thermo ProLoft® insulating fleece. The combination of dense and hollow fibres results in the prefect blend between durability, weight and warmth properties – a fleece material that is easy care and durable yet compact and offers excellent insulation at minimal weight. The synthetic fibres also absorb very little moisture. Short drying times, excellent loft and thus insulation properties even when damp, are all advantageous characteristics. Deuter Thermo ProLoft® is also coated with a thin layer of silicone to give it good lofting properties.
Deuter Thermo Enviro Loft
This synthetic filling features a special three-layer construction, which results in a comfortable sleeping climate with fantastic insulation properties. The two outer fleece layers made of very fine yarn provide an efficient moisture transport, while the hollow fibre mid-layer keeps warm and comfortable. The ecological production cycle according to the bluesign standard includes the use of a minimum amount of water and chemicals.
Down
Composition 90/10: Down quality is a matter of the weight ratio of down to small feather mixture, which is expressed in percent. Deuter uses high performance filling ratio of 90% down to 10% small feather. High quality sleeping bags should have a fill power of at least 650 cuin. This measurement in cubic inches per ounce of down shows the quality of the loft and expansion power of the filling. High quality down has a loft volume of 650 cu in (10.6 litres) per 1 ounce (28.3g). A loft of 550 cu in, and higher is good; of 650 - excellent; and 800 is almost impossible. In the end: the higher the volume the better the insulation value.
