Advanced Materials
We only use Toray fabrics as we believe them to be the best available.
For the outer of the PURE models we use a very lightweight fabric with a light proofing. We do not need to use Down-Proof fabrics as our ETHICAL down cannot escape through the nylon away from the bag. Our Down is approx. 96/4 down and Feather.
The Pure fabric is nylon weighing 37 gr/metre. It is not the lightest possible fabric but lighter fabrics are often quite delicate and translucent.
The Pure and Dry Fabric is a Toray Delfy laminated Nylon fabric which is waterproof supporting a 10,000 m water column and breathable to 10000 g/m2/24h. Pure & Dry weighs 73 gr/metre.
The Pure and Dry fabric is used in our Pure and Dry sleeping bags, the Expedition Standard Arctic Elite Sleeping bag and the Expedition Standard Jacket.
Both these fabrics are a micro rip-stop MATT finished nylon.

We only use YKK Zippers in our Sleeping Bags as they perform the best in the world. We have never known a YKK zipper fail unlike some copies or cheaper version.
All the zippers in our Pure and Pure & Dry bags are the same type and the same length so they can be zipped together to make a double sleeping bag if you buy a LH and a RH. As other manufacturers use the same zipper it is likely they could also be zipped together with a TUNDRA bag.
