La Fayette

The La Fayette is the leader in fast, high and light expeditions. The La Fayette is designed to be used in conjunction with our Combi expedition suit. When the Combi suit is worn inside the La Fayette you have a truly capable survival tool

One of many features, The main zipper of the La Fayette is centered on the chest section of the bag allowing you to sleep on your side to keep your core off of the cold ground. And the center zip makes for a more enjoyable life inside your tent. Simply draw the waist cord tight, get your arms out of the bag, tighten the hood cords and you can stay warm while working in the tent

The power inside the La Fayette is the French Fat Grey goose down. This goose is capable of  migrating at 30,000 feet (10.000m) in –60°F (-50°C) temperatures for days on end. The down is harvested right before the traditional migration time, when it is fresh, clean and at its plumpest. Then Valandre selects only the lightest down and fills each compartment with just the right amount.

The down is held in place by Valandre’s Tubular Bell construction method. Each compartment of the sleeping bag is tailored to perfectly fit around the human form. Including an often overlooked area, the knees, Valandre has put extra down on the knee section to protect as the sleeper assumes a fetal sleeping position. And when these compartments are filled with the French Fat Grey Goose down they are “inflated” and will actually lift off of your body as the bag warms up. The fabric isn’t just a container for the down, it is a technological marvel with all of the components working in harmony to provide an amazing warmth to weight ratio.
