Service after purchase

If you have any damage (tears or holes, broken zippers, etc.), need reworking, cleaning, or for sleeping bags that are getting on in years and need refilling, please contact our partnerOutdoor Service Team.

If your sleeping mat has a hole in it, you can repair it with a standard nylon repair kit.

Repair the damage as specified by the repair kit manufacturer.

Lightweight merino fabrics are particularly sensitive when dripping wet, so WoodWool shirts are blended with 50% wood fibers to ensure the desired dimensional stability and robustness. However, please note:

  • While carrying, we recommend paying attention to the backpack straps on your shoulders and stomach, belt buckles, zippers and trouser buttons.
  • When washing, use a wool detergent (without protease) to ensure the beauty and functionality of the wool shirts. However, please do not add any garments with zippers, hooks, Velcro fasteners, or rivets , as this could cause friction in the washing machine drum and thus lead to holes.

Repair holes:

If a hole does occur, you can quickly and relatively invisibly repair it with iron-on patches, which you iron onto the inside of the merino shirt. There
are many colors and cuts available, and this repair method is quick and easy to implement. Invisible sewing is almost
impossible with such fine merino fabrics!

Care and cleaning

All Grüezi bag items are washable. Washing instructions
are located inside the item's pocket. We've summarized thewashing instructions for our productshere.

Sleeping bags and jackets should be stored open and loosely so that the filling isn't constantly compressed. This extends their lifespan by preserving the loft of the insulation.

  • 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 a storage bag. A discarded pillowcase can also be used as a storage bag. 
  • When packing into the compression bag, the sleeping bag must be stuffed with the foot end first, not rolled or folded. 
  • The storage location must be dry (low humidity) and cool. Please never store in a damp, poorly ventilated basement or in boxes directly against a wall or on the floor (risk of mold).

Deflate and roll up

  • Clean the product of coarse dirt, stones and other pointed or sharp-edged objects.
  • Open the valve and let the air escape completely.
  • Fold the product lengthwise and roll it up from the opposite side of the valve. Roll slowly to completely expel any remaining air from the product.
  • Store the product in the protective case.

Cleaning and storage

  • Clean and dry the product thoroughly after each use.
  • Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, sharp or metallic objects such as knives, hard spatulas or hard cleaning brushes.
  • Rinse the surface of the product with clean water.
  • Remove stubborn dirt with lukewarm water and a soft, clean sponge.
  • Dry the product with a soft, absorbent cloth.
  • Allow any remaining moisture to dry completely before rolling up again.

Here areinstructionson how to repair the zipper.

Sleeping bag advisor

  • Sleeping bags with lavalan® Alpine Wool insulation are designed for temperatures
    above zero. They particularly excel in very humid conditions, such as those found near rivers, lakes, or the sea. Alpine Wool can absorb a great deal of moisture without losing its insulating properties. This is
    why Alpine Wool always
    keeps your sleeping bag warm and dry.
  • For high-humidity conditions and a small, lightweight pack size, we recommend DownWool sleeping bags . They combine the positive properties of down and wool and provide insulation in both wet and dry cold.
  • If you want to use your sleeping bag in temperatures well below freezing, we recommend our DownWool hybrid sleeping bags.

The temperatures for sleeping bags are standardized according to a European DIN standard. You can find out exactly what they mean and why we at Grüezi bag are more careful about them on oursleeping bag temperature page.

Body height and width are important for choosing the right sleeping bag size.

  • Please note the text in each product description: in addition to the dimensions, it also states which body size the sleeping bag is suitable for.
  • If you have a broad stature or shoulders, we also recommend the larger version in the respective product description.
  • If you want more comfort (more room) at the right height, you can of course go for the larger version. You'll just have to warm up more air in the sleeping bag ;)

Grüezi bag sleeping bags are
filled equally on the top and bottom. If you feel like there's less filling on the sleeping surface, there are two reasons for this:

  • Lying down compresses the filling. Simply iron it open for Alpine wool sleeping bags, and fluff it out for DownWool sleeping bags.
  • Some of the chambers on the underside are larger, so the same amount of filling is distributed over a larger area than on the top.

A hut sleeping bag is not a sleeping bag with thermal insulation, but rather a liner. It is intended solely for sleeping in your own bedding for hygiene reasons, as blankets and pillows are provided. Since the bedding cannot be washed daily, overnight guests must bring their own sleeping bag (usually mandatory in mountain huts).

To save space in their backpacks, most guests bring a sleeping bag liner instead of a sleeping bag. The Grüezi bag "Almhütte" sleeping bag offers the luxury of being more than just a sleeping bag liner: small in pack size, large in comfort, and with sufficient warmth for indoor use. A top recommendation for overnight stays in huts, but also for stays with friends or in southern vacation homes, which often only offer cotton sheets or polyester bedspreads.

The zipper runs around the foot end below the arched zipper. Once opened, simply place the two zipper halves together and close them.

People with a wool allergy may experience skin or respiratory reactions to wool. However, the severity of the reaction depends on various factors, such as the type of wool (raw vs. processed), direct skin contact, processing, the dyes used, and more.

Our wool is hygienically cleaned and processed into a high-performance fleece. Furthermore, the outer fabrics are woven so tightly that neither clothes moths nor down can penetrate. Our merino shirts are woven with lyocell fibers, which many customers say makes them particularly comfortable against the skin. Furthermore, our outer fabrics are certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. This label stands for textiles tested for harmful substances and guarantees that the product is safe for human health.

We haven't received any feedback from buyers reporting allergic reactions yet. However, reactions may occur in people with severe allergies.

The terms "left zipper" and "right zipper" indicate which side the sleeping bag's zipper is located on. To create a double sleeping bag, you need one sleeping bag with a left zipper and one with a right zipper. These terms have nothing to do with the preferred hand (right- or left-handedness).

There's a common misconception that a left-handed zipper is meant for right-handed people and a right-handed zipper is meant for left-handed people—but this isn't true. Anyone can easily open and close both sides of the zipper.

However, it's a good idea to choose a zipper in a motorhome that points toward the exit. This makes access easier.

  • Hanging loops - If there are loops on the bottom of your sleeping bag, you can hang it almost anywhere to dry and air it.
  • Side loops : These allow sleeping bags to be attached to sleeping mats to prevent them from slipping when the surface is not level.

A sleeping bag should be able to be packed small for a trip. Please be careful not to fold, roll, or anything similar in advance. This will put too much strain on the creases if the bag is always folded in the same place. You can find a short tutorial in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwjoFdm8fcA.

Some sleeping bags have a cotton outer fabric. This appeals to many people who prefer the skin-friendly feel of cotton to synthetics. Cotton also feels cool against the skin, which is especially beneficial in summer.

The advantages of nylon fabric as an outer fabric are:

  • More vapor-permeable, so the filling can work better. We use an open nylon weave to create the perfect sleeping environment.
  • The fabric glides better, so you don't get stuck in the sleeping bag when you turn or slip out of the sleeve more easily.
    This means that when you turn,
    the entire sleeping bag gets stuck, and you constantly wake up.

It's a safety backup: If you get unexpectedly cold (after strenuous tours, due to illness, etc.), you can add a heat source.

This also applies if you have to sit still on a stand or want to stay cozy and warm on the couch.

The heating element is available as an option for the " DownWool-Hybrid Ice Alpine " sleeping bag. It is already integrated into the " DownWool-Hybrid Ice Cold ," " DownWool-Hybrid Ice Extreme, " and the " Feet Heater " hip packs. It can be easily washed, connected to a power bank or an electrical outlet, and after 15-20 minutes, the sleeping bag is comfortably warm.

The sleeping bag can be easily taken on flights, as the heating element isn't functional without a power connection. Only a power bank needs to be packed in your hand luggage, as always.

Duvets

Due to the lesser insulation of the windows and exterior walls,
the humidity in motorhomes and vans is usually higher than in your bedroom at home. It often gets a bit more humid, especially in the morning. If your campsite is near a lake or the sea, the humidity increases even further. You can either use a wool blanket like https://www.gz-bag.de/products/wellhealth-comforter or you can bring a DownWool duvet from home. Thanks to their wool content, Grüezi bag's unique duvets with DownWool® insulation provide pleasant, dry warmth even in high humidity. The innovative DownWool® insulation also balances temperature fluctuations, so you don't start sweating too quickly.

Shirts

Wool doesn't smell because wool fibers have excellent physical and chemical properties. Merino wool, like wood fibers, is antibacterial and prevents odors by breaking down bacteria.

Food influences how we smell. Meat, onions, milk, alcohol, and multi-fruit juices enter our bloodstream through digestion and then into our sweat, which has a strong odor.

If short ventilation is not enough, we recommend:

  1. Let the shirt dry completely, damp wool smells.
  2. Simply add a few drops of vinegar and baking soda to the wash.

About Grüezi bag

Grüezi bag was originally half Swiss and half German. When one of the partners
left, Grüezi bag became 100% Bavarian, but retained the established name.

sleeping mat

We recommend paying attention to the insulation not only of your sleeping bag, but also of your sleeping mat. For example, on a night at 0°C, the cold ground will leave you feeling cold even if you're wearing a sleeping bag with a Tcomf of 0°C. We recommend using a sleeping mat rated for temperatures as low as -8°C.
