Usage temperature:
We display the "comfort temperatures" on all our sleeping bags, tested by an independent laboratory (AITEX) in compliance with European standard EN 13537 of 11/04/2002.
The "comfort temperature" is the lower comfort limit at which a user in a relaxed position maintains thermal balance and is neither too cold nor too warm (determined under normal conditions of use).
Choose your sleeping bag accordingly!
However, this is what you need to know about temperatures:
A sleeping bag does not produce heat but retains the heat produced by the body.
These temperatures therefore depend on the person's resistance to cold (size, fatigue, etc.), equipment (mattress with insulation, etc.), clothing (naked, underwear, etc.) and weather conditions (humidity, wind, etc.).
If you are tired and cold and you get into a cold, damp sleeping bag, you'll probably feel cold, irrespective of the qualities of your bag!
Specifics for kids:
Choose a sleeping bag that’s appropriate for your child's size.
The more air there is to heat, the more energy the body will use to keep warm and the greater the risk of getting cold during the night.
Similarly, your child will lose most heat through their head.
In cold weather, you can put a hat on them.
Our environmental approach:
We are aware that we must act to preserve our outdoor playground and are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products.
By using the "biton" process for the interior of this sleeping bag, we are able to reduce our impact on the environment.
In fact, by dyeing just one yarn out of every two, we reduce our water consumption and environmental impact.
But this is still not enough, which is why we are aiming to make this product 100% eco-friendly by 2026.
Washing your sleeping bag
We recommend you use a washing machine with a minimum 7 kg capacity and close the zips on your sleeping bag.
Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location is a place where our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc.) can meet with outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A significant advantage for designing high-quality products and giving you access to all our expertise.
Where do our children's sleeping bags come from?
This sleeping bag was designed in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, and then manufactured and assembled by our suppliers in China, India and Bangladesh.
We work in close collaboration with these partners who have extensive experience of making our sleeping bags.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.
Working conditions in our production workshops
We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
By conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment and environmental protection.
