Vaude Featherlight
As the name suggests, Vaude’s Featherlight sleeping bag models are constructed from lightweight down fill and are cushioned, comfortable and cozy. Vaude uses high quality down fill that are tested for moisture resistance, down fill capacity and durability. Both Featherlight models are a mummy shape design which contributes to the superior thermal insulation. The shape is wider at the top, tapered and slimmer at the waist area and narrow at the feet, with no space wastage compared to the regular rectangle shaped sleeping bag. The mummy shaped sleeping bag also requires less material, thus weighing lesser than a regular rectangle model.

They are dedicated to the long-term and maintainable use of nature and also to advocate environmental preservation. Vaude capitalizes on that, by means of utilizing environmentally friendly production methods as well recycling and using green (eco friendly) materials.
