Selk’bag moves to 100% recycled materials for key products

Written by

Selk’bag has confirmed that two of its core products are now made from 100% recycled materials.

The Selk’bag Original and Selk’bag Lite are two of the brand’s most popular wearable sleeping bags and offer warmth, comfort and freedom of movement for outdoor and camping enthusiasts. Updated to reduce the impact of production on the planet, the Selk’bags are now made out of 100% post-consumer recycled materials, while retaining all of the performance and features for which the products are renowned.

Each Selk’bag Original and Selk’bag Lite combines a 100% recycled polyester face fabric and lining with 100% recycled hollow fibre insulation made from discarded plastic bottles (230 bottles for the Original and 153 for the Lite), making a meaningful step towards less impactful production. The main zip and other components are also fully recycled.

Like their predecessors, the updated Selk’bags offer campers and outdoor enthusiasts the very best performance features for year-round use, no matter the conditions. Features include: No-hassle elasticated hand openings that allow wearers to bring their hands in and out of the bag quickly and effortlessly; large kangaroo pockets which provide an ideal place to stash essentials; and removable booties with reinforced outsoles. The adjustable, insulated hood offers added warmth, and the two-way double zipper makes it very easy to quickly and easily get in and out of a Selk’bag and access pockets. It comes with a handy stuff sack to compress the bag and allow easy carrying and stowing when not in use.
