The F10 Vulcan range of sleeping bags are packed with innovations to help you get a warm nights sleep. They offer a great combination of light weight, quality construction and value.

The Vulcan bags are filled with 700 fill power duck down which as a hydrophobic treatment to resist getting wet and dry quicker if it does.

The construction uses a V-shaped baffle design which is the most thermally efficient available, combined with a reflective layer to ensure that you don't get cold spots.

Additionally, to help trap warmth close to the body and avoid pockets of cool air, the internal seams use elasticated thread so that the sleeping bag fits to the sleeper.

The Vulcan is a sleeping bag for those who value warmth most of all. They are quite slim fitting and the Thermal Embrace elasticated lining pulls the bag tight to the sleeper which some may not like.
