Insotect Ltd. is pleased to announce that the company’s Insotect FlowGate insulation technology has aided the Montbell Down Hugger 900 #2 sleeping bag in capturing a 2014 Editors’ Choice Award from Backpacker Magazine.

Montbell’s Spiral Down Hugger bags utilize an innovative diagonal baffle design which results in a longer than normal baffle tube. This increase in length would typically also mean an increase in down-shifting within the baffle tube. Insotect FlowGate prevents this down-shifting through the stabilization of the down across the long tube, holding the down in place to maintain uniform heat distribution, while at the same time reducing overall system weight.

Insotect FlowGates are a key component of the Insotect Flow insulation system which has become widely popular within high performance insulated outdoor gear.

“We are pleased to see our partners continuing to reap the benefits of our inherent construction technologies.” – Irvin Vale Akopov, Insotect Brand Manager.

The 2014 Editors’ Choice Award marks the second time a Montbell Spiral Down Hugger bag has recieved this recognition. For more information regarding Insotect FlowGate™ please visit www.insotect.com.
