The Fjern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag boasts an impressive design that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. The bag is constructed using 600-fill power hydrophobic down, which not only offers exceptional insulation but also ensures moisture resistance. The hydrophobic treatment repels water and helps maintain loft, keeping you warm even in damp conditions. The bag is also equipped with a ripstop nylon shell that enhances its durability, preventing tears and snags during use.
When it comes to camping and outdoor adventures, a high-quality sleeping bag is an essential companion. The Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag promises to provide warmth, comfort, and durability to make your camping experience truly enjoyable. In this review, we’ll look into the key features of this sleeping bag and explore its performance in various conditions.
Comfort and Insulation:
One of the standout features of the Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag is its outstanding comfort. The 600-fill power down provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, allowing the bag to keep you cozy in chilly temperatures.
The bag’s mummy shape maximizes thermal efficiency by minimizing dead air space. The snug hood and draft collar help seal in heat, while the full-length zipper allows for easy temperature regulation. Furthermore, the bag’s generous dimensions provide ample room for movement without compromising thermal performance.
Stuffed with 600 grams of responsibly-sourced down, weighing just 1050g, and offering a Fjern sleep limit of -9°C, the Hygge 600 is perfect for when you want something light, packable and will keep you warm when the C’s start to drop.
Versatility and Ease of Use:
The Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag is remarkably versatile, suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. Whether you’re camping in the mountains or embarking on a backpacking trip, this sleeping bag adapts to various conditions.
Its lightweight design makes it easy to pack and carry, ensuring it doesn’t weigh you down during long hikes. The included compression sack further aids in portability, allowing you to compress the bag to a manageable size. Additionally, the bag’s zipper is smooth and hassle-free, making it effortless to get in and out.
Durability and Longevity:
Investing in a sleeping bag that can withstand the rigors of outdoor use is crucial. The Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag excels in this aspect, thanks to its robust construction. The ripstop nylon shell enhances the bag’s durability, preventing it from succumbing to wear and tear. The hydrophobic down retains its insulation properties even after repeated use, ensuring that the bag remains warm and cozy for years to come. This durability, combined with the bag’s high-quality craftsmanship, makes it a reliable companion for countless adventures.
It would also be worth mentioning to purchase some of the Fjern Down wash in and Re-proof wash in to keep your sleeping bag clean and keep the DWR in ‘tip top’ condition.
Storing your Fjern Down sleeping bag.
When you’re on the trail, hiking or travelling with your down sleeping bag its fine to keep it in it’s compression sack, but for storage it’s best not to keep it in the compression sack as this will compress the down and over a long period of time the down won’t be able to ‘fluff’ up as it should.
This is why it’s best to keep your down sleeping bag in a non compressible bag, like the one supplied with the sleeping bag.
The Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag is a top-notch option for outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort, warmth, and versatility. With its outstanding insulation, durability, and user-friendly design, this sleeping bag truly shines. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a beginner, the Fern Hygge 600 Down Sleeping Bag is a reliable choice that will make your camping experience a delightful one.

The Fjern Hygge 600 down sleeping bag costs £360 so it is a real investment but this is a classic example of ‘you get what you pay for’. You can find cheaper down sleeping bags but they won’t be as well made, as good at insulating and is the down ethically sourced?

If your looking for a lighter sleeping bag for those summer adventures then I don’t think you need to look any further than the Snarka 150. The Snarka 150 is a 2-season synthetic lightweight sleeping bag.
The Thermolite Ecomade 150gsm insulation perfectly balances comfort and warmth whilst helping to keep the weight down. The great thing about this sleeping bag is its size.
