| 1. |
Is there a difference (apart from the practical aspect and the weight) as regard to the temperature use between the FL and the SF models ? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
For the BARBAT, there is no difference between the FL and the SF, due to the double fastening.
For the ASTAZOU, there is one, the SF is better insulated. |

I would like to know the comfort and limit temperatures of these sleeping bags, especially the lightest versions with side fastening |
|
|
| |
|
|

We do not give temperatures for 2 reasons: the tests are carried out at positive temperatures, then acts by extrapolation, and because they are carried out in controlled atmosphere, temperature, moisture with a static dummy. According to my customers one is often disappointed by the temperatures given by the brands, comfort, extreme…
We prefer to reason in accordance with the use, for example in expedition, the GRAND BARBAT is more efficient than the PETIT ASTAZOU, especially over the duration because it is more compartmented (51 compartments as opposed to 27 compartments for the ASTAZOU).
The ANSABERE (14 compartments) was conceived for more limited uses.
In laboratory tests with equal garnishing the three will have the same performance but on the ground the difference is obvious.
For example in the BARBAT range, the 900 is what one calls a -30°C, the 700 a -20°C.
For example in the ASTAZOU range the 1000 is what one calls a -30°C, the 800 a -20°C.
In the ANSABERE range, the 400 would be a 0/-5°C, the 600 a -10°C and the 800 a -20°C.

For which use do you recommend the BARBAT 1100 ? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The BARBAT 1100 is the extreme expedition bag, more is not necessary.
It is the bag for extreme temperatures. |

What are the extra weights for the ASTAZOU 500 and 800 in size L ? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
In size L, the extra weight is 66g. for the 500.
In size L, the extra weight is 90g. for the 800. |

I am afraid to be allergic to down |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The problems of allergy are complex. For years I conducted visits in my down workshop . Many visitors feared the visit claiming to be allergic. An hour later they did not have any reaction although they were surrounded by feathers.
However the allergy is a reality. Lately, I have seen 1 or 2 cases per year. These people enter then leave the premises instantly.
This means that in the majority of the cases one is not allergic to the feather, but to the dust which goes with it, or to chemicals or whatever, perhaps to non existant quality.
In my work I do my very best to preserve the natural properties of the down, without denaturing it.

I'd like to know how the thermo-insulation is made at the level of the down edge-band fastening against the zip, or other ( double fastening on the GRAND BARBAT, I think) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
On the ASTAZOU, there is a 175cm zip. There is no protection edge-band but a system of two preformed edge-bands which press up against each other, thus garanteeing water and air tightness.
On the BARBAT, it's a double zip system that provides perfect tightness. |

I'm thinking of ordering two Grand Barbat 700 FL sleeping bags. I suppose that these sleeping bags can be combined, but this would means that they are both of the same size. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
All the GRAND BARBAT and PETIT ASTAZOU are combinable, whatever their sizes.
Just let us know "left and right", in relation to one's right or left hand-side when lying on one's back in the sleeping bag.
In theory the closing is on the left for the right-handed people, and on the right for the left-handed. |
