Rab Quantum Sleeping Bags are some of the lightest in their class. This is achieved through using the best 96% goose down with a fill power of 750+EU/850+US ratings. This is how the loft is rated in the bag. The higher the fill power the better the loft, therefore trapping more air and being more efficient in insulating giving a good warmth to rate ratio for down with a higher fill power. The Rab Quantum Down Sleeping bags are made from Pertex Quantum Fabric with a lightweight mesh on the baffle walls. The baffle walls stop the down moving around in the bag.
