How do I avoid getting cold in my MT500 0 C sleeping bag?
Dress simply (1 layer of clothing, ideally made from merino wool, is enough).
Protect your extremities with a hat, gloves, socks and hand warmers if needed.
Use a sleeping bag liner to optimise heat and avoid over-washing your sleeping bag Choose a mattress with good insulation (R-value> 3).
And an extra tip: contract your muscles (70% of the energy consumed is converted into heat) but do it without moving as this could create a draught!
How to repair your MT500 0 C sleeping bag
On a trek, you can snag a sleeping bag, it happens! The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent the tear from getting bigger or the synthetic fibres from escaping.
To do this, we recommend that you use self-adhesive repair patches (ref: 8584596).
If you don’t feel comfortable doing this yourself then a heat-bonded patching service is available at the workshop of your Decathlon store.
Do you want to know more about the wadding used in your MT500 0 C sleeping bag?
We use 3 layers of overlapping wadding:
-
two of 100 gr/m2, 100% polyester
-
and one of 80 gr/m2, 100% polyester
The wadding is made of silicone-coated spiral fibres that are highly compressible and highly durable.
Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight.
It retains its warmth even when wet.
What are the features of the MT500 0 C sleeping bag?
Ergonomic hood with drawcord.
Double collar to prevent heat from escaping.
A baffle along the zip prevents heat loss.
Double-slider zip for optimal ventilation.
