If super lightweight walking or ski touring is the thing for you then the Mont Helium 600 down sleeping bag is an ideal choice. Impressively light, surprisingly compact and exceptionally warm by way of 800+ loft down.
Description

The Helium 600 is suitable for temperatures as low as -10°C and still weighs 1kg! Ideally suited to cold weather and four season camping including use above the snowline.

Ultralight shell fabric and high-loft down fill on the Helium bags mean higher performance for less weight. Durable 10 by 10 denier, 520 thread count Nylon weighing only 26g/m2 with a hot-rolled-cire treatment to prevent down leakage and increase durability. Premium 800+ loft RDS white down fill with DWR Loft treatment adds greater resilience, higher loft and better warmth in damp conditions.

”If you’re heavy on experience you’re better placed to travel a little lighter. Light on skills and light on gear decreases your safety margin.“
Mont Ambassador and backcountry guide Doug Chatten. While the Helium 600 is rated to -10ºC, it is not appropriate for alpine snow camping unless you're an experienced alpinist.

ULTRALIGHT FABRIC

Ultralight but durable 10 by 10 denier, 520 thread count Nylon weighing only 26g/m2. Finished with a hot-rolled cire treatment to prevent down leakage and increase durability.

DIFFERENTIAL CUT

Differential cut is the term used to describe the difference in circumference between the inner and outer shells. The differential cut prevents down compression and cold spots by reducing the chance of the inner shell compressing against the outer shell.

For a truly effective differential cut there should be a considerable difference in the circumference of the inner and outer shells.

RADIAL ARC BAFFLE SYSTEM

The Radial Arc Baffle System is a significant design innovation that improves the thermal efficiency of a Mont Sleeping Bag.

Radial Arc Baffles curve naturally around your body rather than bending around your body. When a down baffle (chamber) is bent or distorted, ripples in the fabric occur which will compress down and create cold spots. The Radial Arc Baffle System reduces bending and distortion and increases loft and warmth.

TUCK STITCHING

Tuck stitching is a construction method that conceals the stitch inside the sleeping bag thereby protecting it from abrasion and snagging. This is in comparison to top stitched seams where each stitch is exposed. Tuck stitched seams are also more water resistant than top stitched seams, again because the seam is concealed internally.

Tuck stitching attaches the lock-knit baffle fabric to a small fold in the shell material. Tuck stitching joins three layers of fabric making for a much stronger seam than top stitching that only joins two.
