What is it?

Your solution to needing a warm, light and compact sleeping bag that is affordable and long (we recommend this bag over the standard Leichardt if you're over 185cm tall).

Why do I need it?

The Leichardt sleeping bag is Snowgum's warmest, lightest and most compact synthetic sleeping bag. With two 125g/m2 layers of Polarfil polyester fill, this sleeping bag will keep you warm down to -5°C when coupled with an insulating mat. In other words? It's suitable for snow camping and any cold weather that Australia is likely to dish up.

At under $130 for Club Members, it is also affordable. In fact, the Leichardt is one of the best value sleeping bags in the country. It is Snowgum's best seller and is used by Scouts and School Groups across the nation.

The Leichardt is complete with a drawcord hood, neck baffle, internal valuables pocket and a velcro closed hood pocket that you can stuff your fleece into as a pillow. It also has one, single full length zipper that means you can completely open the sleeping bag to use as a quilt. (Note: this only comes in a left hand zipper, but you can still zip two together - one on top of the other. Your partner can sleep on the side with the hood on top...!)

Pro tip? Add an inner sheet for extra warmth and to keep your sleeping bag clean.

PS. Our goose down sleeping bag is the only sleeping bag lighter and warmer than the Leichardt.

Snowgum uses synthetic fillings that have been created to emulate the air trapping characteristics of down.

Our synthetic fillings are made from Polarfil® polyester hollow fibre about the size of a strand of hair and have seven hollow channels in them. These are too small for the naked eye to see but they are very effective at trapping warm air and thus keeping your body warm. The fibres loft well (fluff up when removed from the stuff sack). There are two separate layers of Polarfil® on the top and the bottom of the bag. The stitching on each layer therefore doesn't go all the way through which makes this bag much warmer than many other synthetic bags on the market.

Synthetic bags are not as warm as down bags for the same weight of filling but they do maintain their warmth when wet, and dry quickly - this is a significant advantage over down. They are also much less expensive.

Dimensions for XL are:

Packaged Size for XL bag is: 26cm Diameter, 44cm Length (relaxed) or 32cm long when compressed.

Weight (including Stuff Sac) for the XL bag is: 2.1kg (350g heavier than the standard bag)

*We suggest if you are over 185cm tall and over 110cm chest measurement you would be more comfortable in the XL size.

Care:
To ensure a long life and prolonged warmth of your sleeping bag, please follow these care instructions.
1. For long term storage use a large open weave sack.
2. Wash by hand with a soft soap or by machine on very low heat and gentle cycle.
3. Dry clean at low temperatures.
4. Air and fluff the bag prior to use.
5. Use a liner (inner sheet)
6. Always air after use and keep as dry as possible.
