Delivery times - why are longer delivery times?

Every customer wants to receive his new "dream sleeping bag" in a top quality. In this case, the down filling should not be compressed for a very long time by the packaging and storage in order not to impair the natural buoyancy of the down. Therefore, high-quality down sleeping bags from well-known manufactures are only filled with down at the time of ordering. This ensures that every customer gets a "hand warm" sleeping bag in top quality.

Tested on Tour - Valandre Shoking Blue - Outdoor 03/2016

With the Shoking Blue, Valandre created a down sleeping bag in 2001: thanks to the shape of the chamber walls, the sheath offered a uniform insulation all around, which was hardly achievable with conventional designs. Now there is the detailed refined successor, the Shoking Blue Neo. It isolates as well as its predecessor (-13 / -20 ° C), weighs 1320 grams but slightly less. An extra thickly filled hood protects the cold-sensitive forehead and nose part, while the heat collar, which matches a throat crotch requires time to close, but sits comfortably and seals perfectly. In addition, the trapezoidal foot part is pleasing. It offers the toe place, but has hardly any unnecessary volume, which would have to be warmed up. And the spacious trunk area makes the Shocking Blue even more powerful. The material and processing quality is also the finest. Thus, the Shocking Blue continues to be the top league of the down sleeping bags. That justifies the high price.

Test report Valandre Shocking Blue - from ALPIN 10/2014

Test impressions: The high quality of the material and the processing is quickly apparent. The heat collar can be easily adjusted by means of a small zip and then further reduced by Velcro. The hood fits perfectly. An additional outer cover strip prevents cold break-in.
Conclusion: The Shocking Blue from Valandre offered the best insulation with the highest Fillpower. In addition, he has an ingenious cut, which causes the sleeping bag to blow away from the body like a balloon and creates a lot of space for warm air cushions. The high-quality materials are perfectly processed. A worthy test winner!
