High-quality 3-season sleeping bag
Spring through fall is the best season for trekking, biking, backpacking, and camping. The 3-season sleeping bag "Biopod DownWool Subzero" is the ideal companion.
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 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
-
Scope of delivery: sleeping bag, compression bag, storage bag.

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

Care instructions
Washing
- The washing instructions are located in the sleeping bag’s inner pocket.
- The sleeping bag can be washed by hand or in the washing machine on a wool cycle at max. 30 °C / 86 °F with down detergent. Please turn inside out, close the zipper, run an extra rinse cycle, and do not use fabric softener.
- Remove from the machine, loosen a bit, and run a spin cycle at max. 600 rpm.
Drying
- Tumble dry at max. 60 °C / 140 °F and add 2-3 tennis balls for better loosening.
- Perform multiple drying cycles, taking the sleeping bag out after each to shake and loosen it, and allow it to cool between cycles.
- The dryer must be set to a timed program to fully dry the down.
- If no dryer is used, the sleeping bag can be dried on a drying rack on sunny days and shaken frequently so air can circulate from above and below.
When is drying complete?
If the sleeping bag does not yet have its original loft, repeat drying cycles until it feels fuller than before.
Depending on the waterproofness of the outer material, drying times vary (minimum 2 days depending on dryer model).
The down must be completely dry. If the sleeping bag is not dried and loosened properly, the down feathers may clump, damaging the bag irreparably. You can tell the bag 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 with tennis balls in the dryer from time to time or after every trip to remove excess moisture.
- Sleeping bags must be stored open and dry in the storage bag.
When packing into a compression sack, the sleeping bag should be stuffed in foot-first, not rolled or folded.
- Air out sleeping bags rather than washing them whenever possible. DownWool® sleeping bags need washing only rarely, as wool naturally inhibits odors and dirt. For small external stains, gently clean only the spot; heavily soiled sleeping bags can be machine washed.
- Every sleeping bag should be used with a sleeping pad because insulation is compressed underneath, preventing air and thus heat retention. More info on the right sleeping pad can be found here.
