High-quality sleeping bag for use down to freezing point
The "Biopod DownWool Ice" sleeping bag is the ideal companion for trekking, camping and mountain tours down to freezing point or as a 3-season sleeping bag for the cold
Grüezi bag® sleeping bags offer the best sleeping comfort and functionality
Grüezi bag sleeping bags have received numerous awards for their excellent insulation and well-thought-out designs.
-
DownWool® - the better down: Unlike conventional down, DownWool® retains its insulating properties even in high humidity of up to 90%. This means DownWool® offers better thermal performance, even in cold, wet conditions.
-
Wider temperature range: DownWool® sleeping bags have a wider temperature range in which you feel comfortable. Wool balances out temperature fluctuations.
-
Drier sleeping environment: The blend of 70% animal welfare-certified down (RDS-certified) and 30% wool from the Alps in DownWool® sleeping bags creates a dry, balanced sleeping environment. Wool effectively wicks away moisture and provides warmth even when damp.
-
Best sleep quality:Longer sleep, faster falling asleep and better sleep through the night – all this is possible thanks to the wool content in the DownWool® insulation filling
-
Well-thought-out cut for optimal freedom of movement: The comfortable cut allows the body to assume a relaxed position, ensuring a peaceful, restful sleep. Even in the mummy shape, you can sleep more soundly, as you can turn around both on your side with your leg bent and within the sleeping bag.
-
Avoidance of cold bridges: Our slightly wider cut reduces unpleasant cold bridges caused by compressed insulation
-
Lightweight and small pack size: ultra-light, robust and recycled materials save weight.
-
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification: Grüezi bag® products are harmless to human health.
FEATURES
-
Pillow compartment:If you slide a fleece jacket, for example, into the pillow compartment, the sleeping bag has a non-slip pillow.
-
Adjustable hood with face baffle:The thermal baffle adapts perfectly to the shape of your head. When it's cold, only a small face hole remains open, thus reducing heat loss from the face.
-
3D thermal collar: Closes automatically in the zipper area, so there is no cold bridge in the zipper area.
-
Drawstring pocket: To ensure that the drawstring on the thermal collar does not get in the way, it is safely stored in a simple drawstring pocket.
-
Inside & outside pocket: For valuables and things you prefer to keep close to you.
-
Zipper
-
Two-way auto-lock zipper: The zipper can be opened and closed from either end, inside or outside. The auto-lock prevents it from opening accidentally.
-
White zipper: So you can find the zipper more easily in the dark.
-
Zipper with anti-snag zipper and lined robust webbing:This makes the zipper even easier to operate without pinching the outer fabric.
-
Zipper with lined zipper cover:so that heat cannot escape and no cold bridges are created.
-
Foot ventilation system:The innovative zipper design allows your feet to be comfortably placed on top of the sleeping bag and excess heat can escape.
-
Pre-shaped foot box: when lying down there is enough space in the sleeping bag to point your toes.
-
Feater loops:A warming hip bag with heating element (Feater - The Feet Heater) can be installed additionally.
-
Chamber construction: H-chambers, V-shaped (on the top), pre-shaped foot area with several chambers

WHAT IS DOWNWOOL®?
The special feature of this sleeping bag is its innovative insulation: In a DownWool® sleeping bag, you immediately feel the wide temperature comfort range, where it is neither too cold nor too warm. Additionally, the insulation is naturally more resistant to high humidity.
This is achieved through the mechanical combination of 70% animal welfare-certified down (RDS-certified) and 30% wool from the Alps. This patented combination acts like a light and natural air conditioner.
Down: excellent insulation performance
High-quality down insulates exceptionally well at low weight. However, down clumps at high humidity (air, sweat, condensation) and loses its insulating properties. Grüezi bag solves this problem with the innovative DownWool® insulation.
Wool: effective moisture and temperature regulation
Thanks to the addition of wool in DownWool®, the down stays naturally drier and thus retains its insulating effect. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture through its capillaries and release it gradually to the outside. DownWool® remains insulating at air humidity up to 90%. The wool fibers stand upright when moist and increase the insulation loft by up to 30%, which further improves the sleeping bag’s insulation. DownWool® effectively regulates not only moisture but also body temperature. Wool prevents cooling evaporation and retains its warming properties even when damp, something no other material can do. Wool naturally creates a cozy and pleasant microclimate through its unique climate-balancing property. The body needs a lot of energy to regulate its temperature. Wool supports this process thanks to its excellent temperature-regulating properties. Additionally, wool neutralizes unpleasant odors.
The result: excellent insulation and a wide temperature range in which you feel comfortable and sleep well. Also, DownWool® is less sensitive to moisture. This makes DownWool® sleeping bags from Grüezi bag® popular all-rounders.

CARE
Washing
- The washing instructions are inside the sleeping bag’s inner pocket.
- The sleeping bag can be washed by hand or in the washing machine on the wool cycle using down detergent at max. 30 °C / 86 °F. Please turn inside out, close the zipper, run an additional rinse cycle, and do not use fabric softener.
- Take the item out, gently loosen it, and run an additional spin cycle at max. 600 rpm.
Drying
- Dry in a tumble dryer at max. 60 °C / 140 °F and be sure to add 2–3 tennis balls to help fluff it.
- Perform several drying cycles, taking the item out after each cycle to shake and fluff it, allowing it to cool between cycles.
- The dryer should be set to a timed program to ensure the down is fully dry.
- If no dryer is available, lay the sleeping bag on a drying rack in the sun and shake it frequently to allow air circulation.
When is drying complete?
If the sleeping bag has not regained its original loft, repeat drying cycles until it feels fuller than before.
Depending on the water resistance of the outer fabric, drying may take a minimum of 2 days.
The down must be completely dry. If not properly dried and fluffed, the down feathers can clump, irreparably damaging the sleeping bag.
You will know the product is fully dry when it feels fuller and thicker than before. Damp down can smell unpleasant, but this odor disappears after drying.
TIP
- Down sleeping bags should be dried in the tumble dryer with tennis balls from time to time or after each trip to remove excess moisture.
- Sleeping bags must be stored open and dry in their storage sack.
When packing into the compression sack, stuff the sleeping bag from the foot end first; do not roll or fold.
- Airing the sleeping bag is better than washing it. DownWool® sleeping bags rarely need washing because wool naturally inhibits odors and repels dirt. For small stains, gently clean only the affected area. Greasy or heavily soiled sleeping bags can be washed in the machine.
- Always use a sleeping mat under the sleeping bag, as the insulation underneath gets compressed and cannot trap air or retain warmth. More info about the right mat can be found on the website here.
