The Firelight 250 - is a high quality, ultra-lightweight down sleeping bag that is ideal for use in temperatures down to 5°C. Manufactured wholly in Poland, the Firelight 250 is filled with the famed Polish white Goose down that is 100% ethically recovered. The down has a fill-power of 900 cubic inches as measured by the EU norm (and is equivalent to 970 cubic inches using the US standard).
The Firelight 250 has a full length zip that lies on the top of the bag. The zip is protected by a single baffle. There is a neck collar that can be adjusted to close completely around the neck to provide a complete seal.
The Firelight 250 comes in three sizes and is supplied with a compact stuff sack and a large storage bag.
SPECIFICATION:
Weight- Weight: 535g
- Fill Weight: 250g

- Pack Size: 1.45 litres (30 x 15 cm Ø)
- Colour: Moss green / citron yellow
Fabrics: 29 g/m² 15 denier nylon (Pertex Quantum)
Lightweight fabrics allow the down to loft and reduce the weight of the bag. Although there are lighter-weight versions of the Pertex Quantum fabric we are using, they offer a negligible saving in overall weight and, having a lower tear strength, are easier to damage.

The Firelight 250 is an excellent bag for those who are travelling extremely light and do not expect cold nights. It is ideal for travelling when one is usually going to be indoors, and for trekking during the summer months at altitudes of up to 2000 metres. In 2005 the European Standard EN 13537 became the official standard for the labelling of sleeping bags in the European Community. The standard is not mandatory.Although there are four different measurements, the two most useful (and in our experience reasonably accurate) ones are:EN13537 Comfort rating Temperature at which a standard adult female can have a comfortable night’s sleep.EN13537 Lower limit The lowest temperature at which a standard adult male is deemed able to have a comfortable night’s sleep.. Fill The most important part of a sleeping bag specification as the combination of fill weight and fill power (FP) is what provides the sleeping bag's ability to insulate.250 g of 900 FP down will fill the same volume as 280 g of 800 FP down or 320 g of 700 FP down.
Construction- Baffles: Box wall throughout
- Hood: Adjustable cowl
- Neck: No baffle
- Zip: Full length #5 YKK
- Zip baffle: Single
The construction describes how the down is held in place (otherwise all the down would fall to the bottom) and what features are incorporated to maximise heat retention or, conversely, regulate your temperature. A bag as light as the Firelight 250 does not need to have sophisticated features as it is not designed for use in temperatures much below zero.
Sizes: The Firelight 250 is available in three sizes. All come with a left zip only.
