One Planet Rumour -12 Sleeping Bag (1029 grams)

The Rumour sleeping bag offers advanced protection from the elements, redefining what a sleeping bag can be… Built with welded seam technology and Waterproof, Breathable, Windproof Pertex Quantum Pro fabric. An ideal choice for alpine and snow covered journeys or exposed tarp camping. Crafted to give you confidence in the backcountry, filled in Melbourne.

Available in three temperatures, rated to the lower limit for both males (M) and females (F): -6 M (-0 F) °C or -9 M (-2F) °C or -12 M (-4 F) °C tested in accordance with ISO 23537.1. The Rumour comes in regular or large sizes and is filled with 800-850 loft Non PFC hydrophobic Down, finished with a full length Waterproof YKK zipper.

Features:

• Box Foot mummy shape maximises the thermally efficiency of the Rumour sleeping bag without restricting movement or comfort
• Welded seams – the best (and most advanced) construction method for alpine regions and sleeping under the stars
• The vertical baffle system (vertical-horizontal-vertical baffles) blocks the migration of down (left to right and up and down), keeping warmth trapped where you need it most
• Differentially cut baffles promote full and complete lofting of down
• The half-moon foot-box is wide and cosy, while base draft tubes keep you warm and toasty
• The contoured hood encloses your head, cinching tight while leaving enough space for your nose and mouth
• The elasticised 3D neck baffle effectively traps warmth around the neck and shoulders
• Two draught tubes (top and bottom) insulate the side zipper
• A Waterproof YKK #5 (a durable and reliable zipper), tuns from hood to ankle
• Joined at the zip: full-length zips allow models with compatible left and right zips to be zipped together

HOW WARM WILL I BE?

ISO 23537-1 temperature testing provides a temperature limit at which a “standard male” or “standard female” will sleep in thermal equilibrium (have a comfortable night’s sleep).

Both the ‘standard male’ and ‘standard female’ are based on a 25-year-old who is fit and healthy. If you’re older or younger, you may sleep colder than the ‘standard’, so we would recommend considering a warmer bag. Your other equipment (sleeping mat, pillow, tent style) the environment (weather, location) and your biology can affect warmth over the night.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT ISO 23537-1 TESTING

Each ONE PLANET Rumour sleeping bag is temperature rated in accordance with the International Organisation for Standardisation 23537-1 (Requirements for sleeping bags). This is the only globally recognised standard for the temperature testing of sleeping bags, and gives ratings for both females and males. Testing sleeping bags to ISO 23527-1 allows users to make informed, educated and accurate decisions.

The ISO 23537-1 testing methods allows objective comparisons of the warmth of different shapes (Box foot and Zip Foot) sizes (small, regular and large), fill quality (synthetic fill, 700+ down fill power or 800+ down fill power), construction and design.

Not all manufacturers test to this standard, nor do they give information about how they arrive at their temperature ratings. As a result, care should be taken when comparing claims of warmth.

BAFFLE CONSTRUCTION

ONE PLANET baffle technology maximises thermal efficiency.

The vertical baffle system uses vertical and horizontal chambers to keep lofty down in the right spot, regardless of night-time manoeuvres. Box wall baffles connect the outer shell and internal fabric, creating 3D chambers that promote lofting, aid even insulation and stop draughts. The differential cut also assists lofting: the internal fabric is cut narrower than the outer shell, making the bag’s inner circumference smaller than its outer.

WELDED SEAMS

The Rumour sleeping bag has welded seams, making it an excellent bag for alpine regions, exposed camps and sleeping under tarps (or the stars!). The box wall baffles are made using welded construction to minimise stitching on the bag’s exterior. When combined with Waterproof, Windproof Breathable fabric (Pertex Quantum Pro), the construction method matches fabric quality. The result is the most well sealed sleeping bag possible – keeping weather out and warmth in.

PERTEX QUANTUM PRO

ONE PLANET uses Waterproof, Breathable, Windproof, Pertex Quantum Pro fabric on the outer shell of alpine and winter sleeping bags.  The fabric is effective and managing moisture and maximising loft, providing essential weather protection and amplifying performance.  This lightweight material is an ideal choice for multiday, alpine or condensation rich adventures. The fabric combines a highly breathable microporus coating with a durable face fabric and is 100% windproof and waterproof with high breathability.

HYDROPHOBIC DOWN

All ONE PLANET down has been treated with a Non PFC hydrophobic water repellency application. This causes the down to repel water rather than absorb it, minimising clumping and helping the down in your sleeping bag stay dry and lofty.

Hydrophobic Down allows your sleeping bag to dry quicker and stay warm for longer, and is especially important for bags used on multiday journeys or in wet conditions.

DOWN DISTRIBUTION

In each ONE PLANET Bush Lite sleeping bag, 55 per cent of the down fill is on the top and 45 per cent is on the bag’s base. We’ve selected this distribution of down after carefully considering how real people move and sleep – after all, we want it to work in real life! This down distribution ensures you stay warm in every position, preventing a cold back as you roll, wriggle and move.

Premium Loft

The quality of down used in a Nitrous sleeping bag makes a huge difference to its warmth, weight, durability and compactness, as well as the loft recovery of the fill. We use 800-850 loft Hydrophobic Down Non PFC – our premium choice and a must for the gram counters.

ETHICALLY-SOURCED DOWN

ONE PLANET takes its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare seriously. Our down is gathered in a way that meets our strict ethical and quality standards, and is sourced as a by-product from the food and meat industry. We source from certified facilities and audit with the IDFL (International Down and Feather Laboratory). In our Melbourne factory we hold only our own audited batches of down: there is no chance of cross contamination.

FILLED IN MELBOURNE

Each ONE PLANET Bush Lite sleeping bag is filled to order, in our Melbourne factory – usually the day after the order is placed! We’ve been filling our sleeping bags in Australia for more than 40 years: it’s the best way to ensure premium-quality, freshly-made bags.

We can personally embroider every stuff sack. It brings us great joy to make your bag as unique as you are.

Design Philosophy

Our design innovations have led the way since 1980, both locally and globally. Our sleeping bags are designed after careful consideration of real sleep – how we lie, move and lose warmth – and real people, with ranges made to fit females and males of all shapes and sizes.

ONE PLANET sleeping bags combine 40 years of manufacturing experience with world-leading materials, modern scientific testing and the passion to keep improving.
