Sleeping bag "Kammok Thylacine" which redefines "What is sleeping bag?" And makes it available for use in all environments
Let's make a sleeping bag that covers everything that sleeping bags should have, such as smooth touch, lightness, heat insulation, fit to the body, three-dimensionality, robustness, easy to operate zipper, good functionality, etc. Over the course of several years trial and error, what was developed through redefinition "What is sleeping bag?" Is "Kammok Thylacine"is.

You can check how to use KAMMOK and how you actually use it from the following movie.
The feature of Kammok Thylacine is simplicity. It was functional, made to the goal to have versatility that can be used in any environment. The main points that became key to development are "temperature" "weight" "comfort" "insulation" 4 points.
If you try to make a warm and comfortable sleeping bag in any environment, you need to prepare at least four kinds of sleeping bags. In other words, we used heavy sleeping bags with down to withstand cold environments, down sleeping bags for non-cold environments, down sleeping bags for light and warm places, and chemical fibers that can be used in humid or watery environments I need four patterns of sleeping bags.
And the solution to the above points was "Kammok Thylacine".
Kammok Thylacine is able to adjust the contents of baffles (parts that contain heat insulating materials), and two kinds of heat insulating materials, chemical fiber and feather & chemical fiber mix can be selected. It is possible to customize it to the sleeping bag optimized according to the place to use, so that insulation can be filled in the appropriate part inside the baffle so that there is no cold place in the body. In addition, the baffle is a minimized design design that does not get in the way of moving.
The following shows how to set a baffle in a sleeping bag. Using Kammok Thylacine, for example, the temperature was a little higher on the first day, so we used only one layer of insulation and on the second day we moved to a place with a lower temperature so we increased the amount of insulation and layered two layers, That means that it will be possible.
As for the heat insulating materialPrimaLoft (Prima loft)It uses a high-tech material that is also used in NASA, featuring a gentle touch and excellent heat retention, water resistance, high compressibility. Because it is very fine fiber, it has a structure that does not let out heat without permeating wind and water even though it is breathable.
This time we also used Prima Loft · Down Blend which mixed goose's feathers, realizing high performance in warmth and comfort.
Adjustment knob is attached to the chest, buttocks, thighs, knees, and ankles of sleeping bags, so it is possible to fit easily to your body so that no gaps are created in various places.
It looks like this is actually used.
You can make it fit easily to your body.
Also, 10denierofRipstop· I am using nylon, it reflects heat and has surprising durability. A big challenge in designing sleeping bags, how much can you lighten your sleeping bag? As it is said, this time we use Atmos which is super lightweight and nice touch.
There are two kinds of Kammok Thylacine, Ultralight and Expedition, but another material with excellent water repellency called DART is used for Expedition together with Atmos.
Kammok Thylacine is currently in the process of seeking commercialization for its current investment and has already succeeded in gathering 100 thousand dollars (about 10 million yen) at the target amount of 60 thousand dollars (about 6 million yen) It is.
Ultralight is a sleeping bag for summer if you remove the baffle, Expedition is waterproofBivyIn case of investment, first choose one of these two types.
Next, choose whether to make the insulation either Prima loft alone or blended with feathers. The former can handle from 4 degrees Celsius to minus 17 degrees Celsius and the latter corresponds to minus 1 degree Celsius to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The list of Ultralight's corresponding temperature, weight, number of layers etc is as follows.
For Expedition, it is as follows.
Next, choose the investment amount. For example, if you choose Prima Loft, which corresponds to up to 4 degrees Celsius in Ultralight, the investment amount is 200 dollars (about 20,000 yen), and further increase in the investment amount allows you to choose the Expedition and further lower the corresponding temperature.
And choose color.
It is ok if you choose the size at the end. When shipping outside the United States, it costs extra shipping fee of 35 dollars (about 3600 yen) so be careful.
The deadline is 12:00 on February 5, 2014 in Japan time.
