Harkila Trapper Sleeping Bag
Larger picture 

A sleeping bag for sportsmen has never been available before. If you spend the night by the fi re under an open sky, in a lodge or tent it’s important to feel warm when you go to sleep. But when the fi re has gone out, it gets cold and you need extra insulation. Härkila have solved the problem by making the sleeping bag in two layers. When it gets cold you take the top layer over you, and the sleeping bag can resist temperatures down to minus 15 - 20 degrees. The sleeping bag is also made so you can use it as a sitting bag. The bottom can be opened, and is reinforced both on inside and outside, so you can keep your boots on.
