FEATURED SLEEPING BAG The Macpac Dragonfly 400 On my last hike to the Whakapapaiti Hut, I took the new Macpac Dragonfly 400 sleeping bag. A lightweight three-season bag, the compression style stuff pack and weighing in at only 731g meant it took up very little room in my pack. During my previous trips to the backcountry hut, I had found the overnight temperature extremely variable. Although when the fire is stoked the huts are warm, the minute the fire goes out the temperature can plummet. The Macpac Dragonfly 400 adjustable face hole and hood system is super simple and as well as providing a good holding spot for my “pillow” it also pulled in super snug, keeping my neck and body free from the cold air. The mummy fit is designed to maximise heat while minimising weight and I found I liked the feel of the bag snug around my legs. The Dragonfly is purpose built for minimal weight so they have really stripped back the features. This means no weight is wasted on unnecessary gimmicks, so the zip only runs a third of the way down. This is ideal for warm nights but my feet often run hot so I am yet to see if I have any issues on a warmer night. Without a doubt for me, the feature I love the most is the material it is made with. I have a tendancy to toss and turn at night and I am usually very conscious of the noise a sleeping bag makes every time you move, however both the inner and outer fabric makes minimal sound, which I loved. The sleeping bag comes with a compression style stuff pack as well as a mesh bag for storage when unused for long periods of time. This helps maintain loft. The technical details: • Filled with 400g of 800 loft HyperDRY RDS Goose Down which gives great compressibility for a smaller pack size. • Inner lined with bluesign® certified nylon • Outer made with its Pertex® Quantum using their Y Fuse technology to increase durability and performance around snow. • Water resistant HyperDRY RDS goose down • Adjustable face hole and hood • Box baffles • Concealed drawcords • Increased fill in the draft collar • 3-coil ⅓ zip • Temperature Rating: Comfort 1°C / Limit -5°C / Extreme -22°C • Weight: 731g RRP: $699.99 MACPAC CLUB PRICE: $489.99 WWW.MACPAC.CO.NZ Compression style stuff pack means it packs up small When you are not using your bag, keep it in the mesh storage bag to help mainatin loft Simple adjustable hood area helps keeps out the cold Marmot Tungsten 2P $549.00 Ready to adventure with you mile after mile, the freestanding Tungsten 2-Person Tent blends durability, roominess, and a livable design.

Dual doors allow easy entry and exit with vestibule storage space around both doors. The lampshade pocket stows your headlamp and the included abrasion-resistant footprint round out the details that make life on the trail easier.
