Halite Two-Bag System
Halite created a two-bag system sleeping bag that solves many of the problems users nowadays are experiencing with sleeping bags. Using layering and the synergy this provides due to an increased heat-to-weight ratio. The Overbag Pro from Halite goes over the inner bag of choice for a drier sleeping bag. This will move the dew point away from your sleeping bag and into the hydrophobic Climashield® APEX insulation. Depending on your mission and needs Halites sleepings bag can be used separately or together. The inner bag Halite recommends is the Recce bag. This is made of the synthetic material Climashield® APEX with Aquaban® technology and is one of the warmest hydrophobic insulation materials. The outer fabric is made of hyper-breathable Quantum Pertex.
The Overbag Pro has a dual-zip function, two long zippers allow you to ventilate the top part of the bag and also increase the insulation in the foot piece with the open flap. The huge size of the bag makes it possible to wear all your gear and even allows you to fit a sleeping mat inside.
The Overbags are available in several designs and there is also a light version available. The Overbag Light saves in weight and pack size. The Overbag Light adds 10 degrees Celsius to your sleeping bag system and the Overbag Pro adds approximately 14 degrees Celsius. The Overbag Light should not be used alone, it is strictly a booster for 3-season to expedition bags.
Inside the hood of the Overbag is a compartment that is perfect for putting your jacket in to create a comfortable pillow.
When you are thinking of buying a new sleeping bag, you have to decide if the insulation material has to be down or synthetic. Halite’s Recce Down 3 Sierra and 4 Sierra are the best options if you consider 850 FP Goose down as the right insulation for your needs. The Overbag Pro is insulated with the synthetic Climashield® APEX with Aquaban® DWR technology.
Eventually, your choice of system and bag is dependent on your expected exposure. Factors such as climate, duration, temperature, comfort needs, bivouac solution, and mobility all factor in when you chose the right bag for a specific mission.
