Highlights
Outing Highlights
Thermal rating for true cold nights
Designed with a 680–750 loft premium white duck down and DWR loft treatment, the Zodiac 700 is appropriate down to -10°C for a warm sleeper, offering reliable insulation for three- to four-season use.
Durable baffles and moisture-resistant thread
Tuck stitching and baffles sewn with Hydrophobic Epic thread reduce moisture wicking and increase durability, while a 30-denier nylon shell and lining keep the bag light without sacrificing robustness.
Zips, hood and convertible options
Full-length YKK side and foot zips, left/right models that zip together, and the ability to open the bag into a quilt — combined with a large 3D draft tube, internal shoulder collar muff and supplied silk liner — make the Zodiac 700 adaptable across conditions and user preferences.
