Gday, is size the only difference between the 1400 and 1600 Alaska Black series sleeping bags?
Andre - Googong, NSW (8 months ago)
G'day Andre,
Yep, absolutely. The number in the Alaska Black product name refers to the width of the sleeping bag in mm, so the difference between the two mentioned is 20cm in width.

Washing Machine Friendly? 1 answer
Can you wash this sleeping bag in a commercial washing machine? Or what is the best method to clean?
Alex - Kinross, WA (8 months ago)
G'day Alex,
The washing instructions on these state Dry Cleaning isn't recommended. 23Zero recommends washing with a mild detergent on the cold gentle cycle of a commercial size front loader, then air drying.
Ultimately, given the size and weight, washing your sleeping bag would be the last resort. I'd thoroughly recommend using a liner, as its a lot easier/more practical to wash these instead

Does it have valance to hold in place?1 answer
Hi, Does this have a valance to hold it in place like the oztrail comforter queen one does? If so, Is it wide enough to fit on 2 exped mega mats joined together? The oztrail doesn't fit but it's very comfy to use. If not, can you recommend one similar to oztrail that's wider and has the valance to hold it in place?
Arica - Gippsland, VIC (11 months ago)
G'day Arica,
No valance on the Alaska sleeping bags. Valances are actually quite uncommon to find on sleeping bags, and not many people actually use that feature. The only other sleeping bag I know of with a valance is the Quest Wintertime, but it's the same size as the Oztrail Comforter. Two EXPED Mega Mats next to each other is 154cm, and the Oztrail comforter valance is 150cm wide, so it should fit over the two mats firmly, but quite well. Perhaps using mat coupler straps to secure the mats together tightly might help?

What’s the quality of these bags like when compared to the darche cold mountain bags?
Adam - Hobart, TAS(11 months ago)
G'day Adam,
The Alaska 1600 is new into our range, however, we have had the smaller sizes for some time, and our customers really like the brand. If you use the compare function you will see that there is some different materials used and the Alaska has a longer warranty period. Our warranty team have advised we do not get either of them back for any quality reasons so this purchase may come down to individual features of each bag that best suit you. Good Luck!
