Pinguin Expert CCS 185cm RH Grey

Highly packable winter sleeping bag for extreme conditions

For those who love winter

But the Expert was not developed solely for them. It’s a synthetic winter sleeping bag designed for very cold weather, so it won’t let you down, whether you're climbing alpine peaks or getting away from it all in January. We know full well that the legs are the first to get cold, so we adapted the Expert‘s design so that the zip is shortened and ends about mid-thigh, whereby we could cram more insulation into the side instead of a zip.

The three-layer construction of the BHB Micro filling ensures you stay warm and comfy at all times, while also ensuring a good weight and packability enhanced by the compression pack it comes with.

Technical specification

To keep out the cold

We are fully aware that cold is the number one enemy of sleep, so we fight it every way we can. Naturally, the zip is double-sided and can be opened/closed from both the inside and the outside. In addition, it has a flap on the inside, which effectively prevents air from penetrating inside. It is also padded, so if you sleep on the zip you won’t feel like the princess and the pea. There is a draft collar just behind the head opening. When tightened, it keeps the heat inside the sleeping bag very efficiently and prevents the user from breathing vapour into the sleeping bag.

It may seem trivial, but who takes clothes pegs into the great outdoors? That’s why we’ve given our sleeping bags two loops to make them easier to hang and dry faster.

Singles and couples

Thanks to the left or righthand side zip, it is possible to join two Experts together, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by couples in love. This feature also significantly increases thermal comfort.

BHB Micro three-layer shingle thermal insulation

Three-layer shingle insulation is a combination of two continuous layers of fleece with overlapping shingles between them. The effect of this is that part of the sleeping bag has three layers and part has, de facto, four - these parts alternate - which helps create a more efficient loft and thus increases the sleeping bag’s insulating properties.
