Sierra Designs Wmns-Euphoria 15-Degree Sleeping Bag Review



Sierra Designs Wmns-Euphoria 15-Degree Sleeping Bag Feature

  • Women's-specific 3-season sleeping bag with 15 degree F temperature rating
  • Thermally efficient HeatSync insulation for all-night warmth
  • Flex construction allows the bag to move with your body
  • Built-in Pad Locks keep you from sliding off sleeping pad
  • Microfleece foot box lining; comes in regular and long sizes
Warm to 15 degrees F, the Euphoria women's-specific sleeping bag is an ideal three-season choice for your outdoor adventures. The Euphoria is filled with HeatSync polyester insulation, a heat-efficient synthetic fill that performs well even in moist conditions. The Euphoria's Flex construction, meanwhile, allows it to move with your body while you sleep. This improves the bag's thermal efficiency while letting you spoon, sprawl, or starfish until the sun comes up. And campers will love the built-in Pad Locks, which keep you from sliding off your sleeping pad as you toss and turn during the night. Other features include Snag-Free Zipper Tracks that let you easily escape when nature calls, a pillow pocket to give you the most comfortable night possible, offset layer construction, an ergonomic hood and foot box (the latter with a microfleece lining), and a draft collar. The Euphoria is available in regular and long sizes.

About Women's-Specific Bags
Sierra Designs was the first company to recognize that sleeping bags should be designed differently for women. The average man is 6 feet tall, but the average woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall. In addition, both the body proportions and metabolic rates of men and women vary significantly. In response, Sierra sizes its women's bags smaller so that women are not carrying additional weight and don't have to heat up more air space in a larger bag. Sierra's women's sleeping bags are also designed with narrower shoulders, wider hips, and increased insulation in the torso and foot box. The company's first women's-specific bags, the Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, were released in 1995.

About Sierra Designs

Tested to the Highest Standards - Sierra Designs has always tested sleeping bags to make sure that our customers are warm and comfortable on their adventures. Now we’ve adopted the European Norm (EN) 13537 test process which provides a standardized comparison method for all sleeping bag brands so that it is easier for you to choose the right sleeping bag for your needs. The two temperature ratings listed are “Comfort” and “Lower Limit.” Comfort is defined as the temperature that a standard woman (60 kg / 132 lbs) will be comfortable at versus “Lower Limit” is the temperature that a standard man (80 kg / 176 lbs) will be comfortable at. EN 13537 confirms: Women sleep colder than men using the same sleeping bag in the same outside temperature. The best recommendation for the women is the Comfort Limit. The best recommendation for men is the Lower Limit.
