Temperature
THE COMFORT TEMPERATURE WOMEN is defined as the lowest temperature at which an ‘average’ woman—25 years old, weighing 60 kg and 160 cm tall—can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position. This rating is designed to ensure a comfortable sleep, even for those who are new to using this product.
THE COMFORT TEMPERATURE MEN is defined as the lowest temperature at which an ‘average’ adult male (25 yrs. / 70 kg / 173 cm) can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position. This range is designed to ensure a comfortable night's sleep, particularly for those who are not accustomed to colder environments.
THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE rating is a survival only rating, applicable to an ‘average’ adult. This is the lowest temperature at which the person is expected to survive in a sleeping bag, without necessarily sleeping comfortably. At this temperature, there is a risk of hypothermia if exposed for more than brief periods, and there is also a significant risk of other cold-related injuries such as frostbite.

- 100% recycled outer material and lining
- Treated with antibacterial Polygiene® technology to keep the sleeping bag fresh and odor-free for longer
- Hood with drawstring to keep you snug and warm
- Spacious sleeping bag, that packs into a compact bundle of 30 x 18 cm

Features
The Taurus 500 comes with a soft hood that can easily be tightened around the head with the integral cord; this helps to retain warmth should the temperature fall at night. The sleeping bag also features a '3D foot box' structure, providing more space and insulation at the lower end − no more cold feet!
The sleeping bag can be opened from both ends using the handy 2-way zip, which means you can open the zip wherever you need to create some extra ventilation, and if it is dark in your tent, no worries; you can always find your zip easily thanks to the glow-in-the-dark zip pull. There is also a pocket on the inside of the sleeping bag where you can store your small, valuable belongings.
The Taurus 500 is very compact and weighs only 870 grams because it is made from super-lightweight breathable polyester. This fabric is also 'ripstop', meaning it is woven using a technique that makes it stronger and more tear-resistant. The filling of this sleeping bag is a mixture of down and synthetic down, ensuring softness, warmth and comfort.
This sleeping bag is finished with a PFC-free coating, giving it water-repellent properties without the use of harmful chemicals. The lining has been treated with Polygiene® technology. This antibacterial treatment ensures that the sleeping bag remains fresh and free from odours for longer; it also means the bag needs to be washed less frequently.
The Taurus 500 incorporates suspension loops to facilitate airing after use. It can then be packed in a very compact format using the compression stuffsack supplied.
Recommended body length
The recommended maximum body length for this sleeping bag is 190 centimetres.
Comfort temperature
The Taurus 500 is suitable for colder nights. Approximate comfort temperatures are 2 °C for women and -4 °C for men. This sleeping bag is not recommended for temperatures below -21 °C. If you're looking for a two-season or summer sleeping bag, then the Taurus 400, 250 or 180 might be for you.
