The "Ugly-Bag" Is A First-Ever Alpaca Fleece Lined Sleeping Bag
The Appalachian Gear Company has just come up with a brand new first-of-its-kind sleeping bag that they have named the “Ugly-Bag”. What makes it different is the insulation which is made from high-performance 100% alpaca fleece. What’s so special about alpaca fleece? It’s…
naturally moisture managing
highly breathable,
temperature regulating
odor resistant
lightweight
offers an incredible warmth to weight ratio
The Ugly Bag weighs approximately 2lbs. 8oz. and compresses to a compact size of approximately 10” x 7”. The bag’s shell is constructed from soft-structure Tyvek, a spun-bonded high-density polyethylene fabric that is highly water resistant without sacrificing breathability.
“The Ugly Bag is the first high-functioning alternative to everything else out there in decades. It’s a no-brainer for anyone looking for a more sustainable option than down, which can fail as soon as it gets wet and relies on loft to actually keep you warm. In addition, the shell we’re using is much less prone to abrasive breakdown than other synthetics out there, meaning it’s significantly less likely to contribute to microplastic pollution. It’s not the prettiest option, but we think people care more about performance and sustainability than vanity when it comes to their outdoor gear.”
The Ugly Bag features a zipperless, hoodless construction with elastic at the opening and chest for a comfortable, expandable fit. A unique “turtleneck” feature at the opening provides an extra length of All-Paca fabric that can be tucked inside for additional core warmth, bunched around the neck like a baffle, or pulled completely over the head like a hood.
The Ugly Bag is $355.41 Canadian and has an “Electric blue” interior with a white shell.
