FAQ

How long will my order take?

1-3 business days to process and quality-check, then 10-20 business days in transit to Australia. Full detail on our Shipping Policy page.

Will I be charged customs or GST when it arrives?

No. Orders under AUD 1,000 clear into Australia without additional duty or GST. Nothing to pay on delivery.

Can I trust the temperature ratings?

Read this one carefully, because it is where most listings mislead you.

European and American brands usually publish an EN/ISO 23537 rating — an independent lab test that lets you compare bags from different makers on the same scale. The makers we stock — Black Ice, Aegismax, Naturehike — publish their own temperature figures instead. Those are not lab-certified, and we will not pretend otherwise. Every temperature on this site is labelled “manufacturer” for exactly that reason.

So how do you compare? Use the numbers that are objective: fill power, fill weight in grams, and total weight. 700 g of 800-fill-power down is 700 g of 800-fill-power down whoever sells it. We publish all three on every bag. Then treat any temperature figure — ours or a brand’s — as a starting point, and give yourself a margin.

One more thing: “rated to −9°C” is usually the limit rating, the temperature a warm sleeper survives. The comfort rating is the one you actually sleep well at, and it is typically 5–7°C warmer.

What do fill power and fill weight mean?

Fill power (650, 800, 850) measures the quality of the down — how much loft you get per gram. Fill weight is how many grams are in the bag. You need both. A 800FP bag with 400g of down is warmer than a 650FP bag with 450g, and lighter. A listing that gives you one number and not the other is hiding something.

Do you ship to New Zealand?

Not yet. Australia only for now.

What if it does not fit or I do not like it?

30 days to send it back, unused and in its packaging. See Returns & Refunds.
