EN13537 Explained

EN 13537 Explained

GELERT Sleeping bags have been sent to the world renowned Hohenstein Institute in Germany to conform with EN 13537 Standards

This standard provides a comparison between different sleeping bag manufacturers so that the consumer can evaluate the different temperature ratings. The temperature ratings are as accurate as scientific measurements can be and can assist consumers in choosing the appropriate sleeping bag for their intended activity.

The EN 13537 test is conducted under controlled conditions using a manikin that has separate heating zones & temperature sensors to simulate an actual human being asleep in a sleeping bag.

This detailed test provides accurate information on the range of utility of a sleeping bag - the determination of a comfort, limit and extreme temperature rating.

Comfort Zone: The comfort zone indicates a temperature range making sure that campers feel comfortable throughout the night
Extreme: The extreme temperature rating is the lowest temperature at which the sleeping bag will perform.

Note: Despite this extensive testing, temperature ratings remain subjective and should only be used as a guide. Quality of clothing, differing ages, ground temperature, whether or not a sleeping mat is used are all external factors which may affect the rating of sleeping bag.
