These channels are filled with waterfowl feathers and down. A front opening, free-running, slide fastener, approximately 70 inches in length and eyelets for lacing the sleeping bag case are provided. The sleeping bag has two 25-inch tie tapes, attached at the foot of the bag, which are inserted through the respective openings provided at the foot end of the water repellent case and are used for tying the rolled sleeping bag for carrying the storage purposes. A waterproof clothing bag is provided for protecting the sleeping bag when it is stored, carried or not in use. [1]
