Mirage
1.4°F (-17°C) - Report
Aptly named, the Mirage is a regular trompe l’oeil – a trick of the eye. Combining the tubular bell system with pre-cut anatomically formed baffles and ultra-light Asahi-Kasei Impact 66 ripstop polyamide 37g/m2 fabric gives you a bag that will keep its loft even if we add no down (yes, sir). But though it works wonders for the pack size, we have added 12.9 oz (365 g) of 850+ cu in goose down just to keep you comfy.
Made on the principles of the Shocking Blue and the La Fayette, the Mirage will set the standards in its range. This time the benchmark is 26.3 oz (773 g) total, a pack size of only 4.8 liters, and an extreme temperature rating at 1.4°F (-17°C).
Field testers have taken the Mirage to 14°F (-10°C) wearing a base layer of underwear and a fleece vest. Even if these are not recommended temperature ratings (metabolism etc. should be considered), field tests have certainly underlined the extraordinary performance of the Mirage.
Andrew Crows product review below, tells yet another story of what kind of performance you can squeese out of a Mirage. And Cassin ridge on Denali is not the right place to get stuck, so fast and light is the right way.......as long as you are 100% shure about your weather forcast! Nice one Andrew!
The secret of this superb performance is simple: If you have taken the time to read the down page, you should know, that we are capable to collect a totally mature down quality here in France. But connected to a 100% anatomic construction, the Mirage lift's of and away from your body. On the leg section and foot box, there are NO contact at all, and a slight contact with NO weight feeling can be felt on the body section.
A strange feeling of being warm, without any feeling of weight on your body (like sleeping in the sun on the beach). And it's this weight/contact liberation, that allows a full expansion of the down clusters in all directions.
Welcome to the jet age........Get a Mirage and go supersonnic!
Ever tried the bedding of "The Ritz in Paris", at 7400m?..... Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (Austria) has! And she's got 13 8000 in her pocket!
