G'day Kath,

This Sleeping Bag will work well to keep you warm and comfortable up to about 0° to -5° degrees, the insulation underneath you does play a factor in keeping you warm and insulated from the cold.

If you don't have any insulation on top of your mattress or in your mattress you still may feel some cold coming up from the ground. Whether it be an extra blanket underneath the sleeping bag or if this bag will be insulating enough can be hard to tell for your specific set-up. This is a great quality and warm bag, but you may need some insulation underneath to keep you warm.

G'day Adam,

Not necessarily, it just depends on how well you care for your gear, and how you're going to use them.
If you swag camp and want to roll your sleeping bag up within the swag, or even camp without a shelter ifn fair weather, than the Canvas outer bags are a great option.
If you tent, camper trailer, or van camp - a little less rough - then the standard bags will do the trick.

Generally people opt for the Canvas options more so for the aesthetics and feel of the bag, so don't discount those as important factors either.

Whichever one you choose, they'll keep you warm, it's just down to your preferred finish!

G'day Conner,

Yep, absolutely - just bare in mind that one side will have the large hood flap, and the other side won't.

G'day Bree,

The zip hardware bis the same across the Darche bags, so you'll have no issue zipping them together.

G'day Steve,

Canvas is water repellant when it is under tension, however, if water pools on the surface without tension then it can seep through. You might be ok in a light sprinkle, but you'd get damp if you were just in the sleeping bag when it's raining.

G'day Aeron,

The 1400 swag will be a little bit large to fit in the 1100 swag, as you'll end up with a lot of extra fabric. We'd recommend the 1100 bag if you've got an 1100 bag.

G'day Ian,

We're pretty confident you should be able to roll up the Cold Mountain Canvas 1400 with your Nebula Swag. It might take a pretty precise roll to get it back in the bag, but with a little persistence it should be all ok.

G'day Chris,

The overall length of the bag is 250cm.  The bag has a max user height of 230cm, and the hood section is around 40cm.  Hope that helps!

G'day Tony,

This is going to be a bit of a squeeze as the Panorama is designed to have a really low profile to reduce drag. Unfortunately, I don't have a Panaorama on display to test this out for you. The Darche Hi-View Gen 2 has more depth when it's packed away and will work better with gear like sleeping bags stored inside. 

G'day Michael,

Yep, the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas sleeping bags all have a zipper along the foot of the bag.

G'day Johno,

I've just given this a try with our display model of the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1400 and I did manage to make a couple of single sleeping bags out of it. They didn't seal up at the foot end though and both were quite thin. 

G'day Graeme,

The Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1400 in the beige is the old model which we no longer have any stock available for. Sorry.

G'day Brayden,

Darche recommends the following points when caring for your sleeping bag:

• Hand wash only.
• Wash separately in warm water using a mild detergent.
• Hand rinse thoroughly.
• To dry lay in shade on a flat surface.
• Do not machine wash or dry clean.
• Do not iron.

You can read more from their website here.

G'day Jason,

Absolutely we can get it. If you'd like to give us a call on 1300 914 007 and we can organise a special order for you.

G'day Emrys,

The Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1400 is made with dual zippers, which means there are zippers down both sides.

G'day Greg,

The 1100 and 1400 of the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas simply represent their width. This is the only difference which naturally affects their weight with 1100 (1.1m) being 4.4kg and 1400 (1.4m) being 5.5kg. Everything else is the same.

Unfortunately, the stock hasn't arrived yet but we are hoping for any day now. If you'd like like to go on a waiting list, rather than pre-order, please give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and we can help you do that.

G'day Steve,

That's a great question. While it depends on the size of the two people looking to sleep inside the bag, the Darche 1400 Cold Mountain sleeping bags are designed as a compact two person sleeping bag. To offer some perspective, the width of most king size sleeping bags are around 100cm, so if you're after a bit of room to move, we'd encourage you to consider joining two single bags together. If you do decide to get two single bags with hoods, ensure you select bags with a left and right zip so that they can be joined with the hoods being at the base.
