Mountain Hardwear Hibachi Down Sleeping Bag - REVIEW

The big news with the Hibachi is that its down has been treated with Mountain Hardware's relatively new Q.Shield™technology. Q.Shield enables down to repel moisture. When down repels moisture the sleeping bag retains its loft and keeps you warmer even in wet conditions. In comparison, untreated down becomes soggy and clumpy when wet and looses its ability to keep you warm. Its good to keep in mind that the Hibachi is water resistant and not waterproof; although you can't take it swimming you can trust it to repel the moisture created in a tent. In short, Q.shield effectively removes the main reason why some argue synthetic bags are better than down. Case closed.

Unlike the Hibachi BBQ which requires a good amount of charcoal and work to heat up, the Hibachi sleeping bag simply uses a 600 fill down, the bag's shape and the bag's baffle design to keep you cooking. No work involved. The traditional mummy shape keeps the sleeping bag close to you (the heat source) while still providing enough room inside for those restless sleepers.
