If you’ve ever woken to a soggy mass of fabric and clumps of down at the foot of your sleeping bag when camping, you’ll appreciate the benefit of One Planet’s Storm Foot upgrade. 

The veteran Australian brand has upgraded its classic all-rounder down bags with Pertex Quantum Pro on the exterior of the footbox. The addition of this highly water-repellent, windproof and breathable fabric prevents the end of      the bag becoming saturated by wet tent walls or the inside of a bivvy bag. The benefit is warmer, cosier sleeping, and a drier bag to pack away in the morning. The Sonder, Cocoon and Bungle series will receive the Storm Foot upgrade. 

Also imminent is the new Rumour, a sleeping bag that uses Quantum Pro and welded seam construction throughout for water-repellence and windproofing, in some conditions negating the need for a bivvy bag.
