The Montane Minimus minus 2°C Sleeping Bag uses Montane’s mountain jacket technology to provide a sleeping bag that is lightweight enough for use on alpine and backpack expeditions as well as being waterproof and highly breathable for your overnight comfort.

A breathable sleeping bag means that you are much less likely to suffer loss of warmth through the interior of the bag becoming damp from perspiration and condensation.

A waterproof sleeping bag also means that if you need to minimise the load you could possibly settle for a bivouac instead of a tent.

The Pertex Shield+ fabric used for the outer shell over the high-quality goose down fill and the comfortable PEAQ Down liner provide a potent and very effective combination for a good night's sleep.
