Comfort -5°
The perfect 3-season sleeping bag for cold temperatures with a comfortable fit
- BlanketZip - transforms into a down comforter
- side arm opening for full flexibility
- comfort hood with extra wide cut
Bartack reinforcements where necessary for enhanced durability.
The large hood opening ensures a comfortable fit. When cinched tight on cold nights it seals accurately around mouth and nose. The inner lining doubles as the cinch cord guard preventing pressure on forehead and nose when the hood is closed. And the hood is large enough to hold a pillow.
The sleeping bag is available in right and left hand zipper versions. Two bags from the Expedition, Trekking and Basecamp series (from 2015) can be coupled together. The YKK #5 zipper on the bags is always of the same length.
Internal hidden pocket to secure small personal items or keep batteries warm.
The generous 3-D draft collar with elastic cord closure is simple to use, does not feel tight when used and can be opened easily when necessary.
Two-way zippers increase flexibility and allow the bag to be opened at the foot-end for temperature regulation.
Zipper pullers feature glow-in-the-dark tabs.
Product description
The Comfort -5 ° is a spacious, extremely versatile mummy sleeping bag for trips from early and mid-summer to autumn. The generous cut of the Comfort series allows a lot of freedom of movement, but still retains thermal efficiency thanks to the mummy shape.
The side arm zipper allows additional freedom of movement without having to leave the cozy warmth in the sleeping bag. The foot zipper transforms the Comfort into a full down comforter in an instant.
The 3D foot box with 11 individually filled down chambers ensures warm feet. A puffy, adjustable draft collar keeps the warmth within the sleeping bag. The comfort hood with its wide cut feels non-constricting, but can be cinched tight when required. Clever tuck-stich seam technology ensures durability and optimal moisture protection.
Both shell and liner fabrics are PFC-free and only RDS certified down is used for the filling. All Comfort sleeping bags can be paired with each other, with other EXPED models, as well as with most sleeping bags from other brands.

FAQ
What are EN values for sleeping bags?
The EN (European Standard) rating is a rigorous test designed to set measurable goals and standardize the marketing of sleeping bags. It is designed to help consumers make an informed decision by using independently derived temperature ratings.
Each EN sleeping bag test results in four temperature ratings - upper limit, comfort, lower limit and extreme, with the following definitions:
From Wikipedia:
Upper limit - the temperature at which a normal man* can sleep without excessive perspiration. It is made with the hood and zippers open and with the arms outside the pocket.
Comfort - the temperature at which a normal woman* can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position.
Lower limit - the temperature at which a normal man can sleep in a curled position for eight hours without waking up.
Extreme - the minimum temperature at which a normal woman can stay for six hours without risk of death from hypothermia (although frostbite is still possible).
For the purpose of these measurements, it is assumed that a "normal man" is 25 years old, 1.73 m tall, and 73 kg; a "normal woman" is 25 years old, 1.60 m tall, and 60 kg.
The three most common ratings are comfort, (lower) limit, and extreme. For men's bags, most companies advertise the Limit rating, and for women's bags, the Comfort rating, although it can vary."
How should I store my sleeping bag?
It is best to store the sleeping bag in the mesh storage bag provided. This will ensure that the insulation retains its maximum bulk and thermal performance. When traveling, it is okay to compress the sleeping bag and carry it in the included stuff sack.
When you return from a trip, it is very important to let your sleeping bag dry completely. Then store it in the mesh storage bag in a dry and temperature controlled place.
How do I wash my sleeping bag?
If you wash your sleeping bag too often, the insulation can suffer (down or synthetic). The insulating power may decrease. We recommend cleaning the sleeping bag with a damp sponge. If the sleeping bag needs a more thorough cleaning, use only a front-loading machine (no agitator!) and a special detergent from Nikwax or McNett.
Before you put the bag in the washing machine, close the zipper. Use a cold water and gentle wash cycle, and after the wash cycle is complete, run a second rinse cycle without detergent. This will ensure that all detergent residue is removed. Two spin cycles will help get a lot of moisture out of the sleeping bag.
It is best to hang the sleeping bag afterwards and air dry it. Keep massaging the sleeping bag the down tufts apart. Depending on the humidity, it may take several days to dry completely. If you need to dry it faster, use a tumble dryer on low heat (often there are special down drying programs). To loosen up the down in the dryer, you can put some tennis balls in the dryer with it.
