Do you want to know more about the filling used in your MT500 5°C sleeping bag?
We use 3 overlapping layers of 60g/m², 100% polyester wadding for the top and bottom of the sleeping bag.The wadding is made from siliconized spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and very durable.Despite its low thickness, it has high insulating properties thanks to the air trapped inside and remains lightweight.It retains its warmth even when wet.

How to repair your MT500 5°C sleeping bag
When hiking, you may get a tear in your sleeping bag!The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent the tear from getting bigger or the synthetic fibres from escaping.We recommend using self-adhesive repair patches (ref:8584596).
If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, we offer a repair service in our Decathlon workshops and one of our specialists can apply a heat-bonded patch for you.
How is the material used in this sleeping bag manufactured?
This product does not contain any intentionally added PFAS treatment.
Which mattress should I use this sleeping bag with?
The protocol for measuring the thermal performance of a sleeping bag is to use a mattress with a thermal resistance corresponding to an R-value of 4.8.If you use a less insulating mattress, the thermal performance of your sleeping bag will be reduced.Therefore, we recommend you use an insulating mattress for better thermal comfort.
How durable is the MT500 5°C sleeping bag fabric?
On the outside, it is made from 100% polyamide, 38 g/m², 20 denier.This fabric can withstand up to 20,000 abrasion cycles.Durability is calculated using the Martindale test (Standard 12 947-2).This test involves rubbing the bag's material with another material to assess the product's abrasion resistance.The inner lining is made from a 100% polyamide fabric in 20 denier, weighing 35 g/m2.
How can I stay warm in the MT500 5°C sleeping bag?
Dress simply in light clothing (one layer, ideally Merino wool, is sufficient).Warm your extremities with a hat, gloves, socks and hand/foot warmers if necessary.Use a sleeping bag liner for more warmth and less washing.Choose an insulating mattress (R > 3).And here's a little tip:Contract your muscles (70% of energy consumed is converted into heat), but don't make any movements that cause cold!
What are the features of the MT500 5°C sleeping bag?
Ergonomic hood with drawcord.Double collar to prevent heat from escaping.A baffle along the zip prevents heat loss.
Two-way zip for optimal ventilation.Inner pocket.
What is the comfort temperature?
We display the comfort temperatures determined by an independent laboratory (AITEX) on all our sleeping bags, in accordance with the international standard ISO 23537-1:2022.
The comfort temperature is the minimum temperature at which an average person (female, 25 years old, 60 kg, 1.60 m) feels comfortable and not cold when in a relaxed position.Choose your sleeping bag accordingly.
And what is the limit temperature rating?
The limit temperature rating is the minimum temperature at which an average person (male, 25 years old, 70 kg, 1.73 m) is able to sleep curled up without feeling too cold.For your information, the extreme temperature is the minimum temperature at which a person can survive (risk of hypothermia) for six hours.This is a safety measure, not a comfort measure.
This padded sleeping bag has been redesigned to make it lighter and more compact, and therefore more suitable for your needs.For easier use, it opens along 3/4 of its length.
