How to deploy the EPS (Expanda Panel System)<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n

If you are having trouble setting up your sleeping bags EPS panel, please read on for a step by step guide on how to deploy it.<\/p>\r\n

Stage 1<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Firstly unzip the full sleeping bag down to the bottom.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Stage 2<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Undo the internal retaining zip. The zip\u00a0baffle will now\u00a0open\u00a0out into an insulated panel of stretchy material, which should\u00a0have a retaining zip from top to bottom. This\u00a0panel is the EPS.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Stage 3<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Next, take the retaining zip located on the EPS panel and slide it into the external parallel\u00a0zip located on the main sleeping bag.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Stage 4<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Finally, zip the sleeping bag up with the retaining zip and\u00a0the transformation is complete.\u00a0Reverse the following steps to return the EPS to a chunky zip baffle.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\r\n \t\t\tImportant Information<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tDeploying the ‘expander panel’ will reduce the thermal efficiency and temperature rating of the sleeping bag. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\r\n
