Made for expedition use, the Plover's wider hood opening provides extra comfort during extended tent-bound conditions. On the Himalayan peaks the Plover (used with down clothing) has kept climbers warm at 40 below, caught without a shelter at 28,000 feet. In Alaska, the Plover has been the most popular mummy bag for expeditions on just about every peak.

| Pertex® Shield PX | Pertex® Shield EX is a relatively new fabric and also makes use of a PU coating but with a slightly different chemical compound that offers full water proof performance while still coming in under 2 oz/sq yd. The waterproof and breathable features combined with the weight and durability makes this the perfect fabric for Expedition sleeping bags. The fabrics we use are all highly water-resistant and breathable. The Pertex Shield shells are waterproof, HOWEVER the construction is not. We don't tape any of our seams in sleeping bags or the jackets/parkas. |

A note on sleeping bag sizing:
When selecting a sleeping bag, the length and girth are the most important roles in warmth and comfort. If there is too much room at your feet, it is very difficult for your feet heat the excess air to a comfortable temperature. If your bag is too short, it is difficult to stretch out and sleep comfortably. Although gear storage is a factor in some cases when selecting length, it is advisable to select a bag closest to your actual length.
The most common issue when selecting the proper girth is efficiency versus comfort. The wider the girth, the more comfortable and roomy the bag but it is also less efficient. Consider selecting a bag that can allow a comfortable yet most efficient interior space. This way you can assure many comfortable nights of sleep so the following day your body can operate at its optimum ability.
