Which Husky sleeping bag suits you? An explanation of the new Long, Short and Plus variants

If you are looking for a quality sleeping bag for camping, trekking or expeditions, you will soon end up with the Husky brand. This Czech brand is known for its durable, well-insulated and comfortable sleeping bags. But since this year, Husky has added several new variants to their models: Long, Short and Plus.

But what exactly do these terms mean? And more importantly: which version suits your situation best? In this blog, we explain it clearly, so you can make the right choice for your next adventure with peace of mind.

The basics: why Husky?

Husky combines technical materials with smart designs. Whether you sleep on a cold mountain top or a festival campsite, a Husky sleeping bag is reliable, warm, breathable and compact to store. They come in different comfort zones, fillings (such as 1-channel or 7-channel hollow fibres) and shapes, such as mummy or blanket models.

Recently, Husky started using the designations Short, Long and Plus to even better suit the needs of different users.

Short: compact and warm for smaller travellers

The Short version is designed for people with a body height of up to about 170 cm. This shorter sleeping bag has important advantages:

• Fits better around the body → less empty space = less heat loss

• Lighter weight and more compact to carry

• Ideal for women, young people or smaller adults

In short: if you are not that tall, a Short is not only more comfortable, but also more efficient.

Long: extra length up to 205 cm body height

Are you taller than average? Then the Long version is perfect. This sleeping bag is 230 cm long in total and comfortably accommodates people up to about 205 cm body height.

Advantages of the Long:

• No curled legs or cold feet

• More space around shoulders and head

• Comfortable sleeping even if you are tall

For tall campers and adventurers, the Long is an absolute must-have.

Plus: just a bit roomier and more comfortable

The Plus version is not about length, but extra comfort and freedom of movement. This mummy sleeping bag is just a bit wider than the standard model, which is especially noticeable around the shoulders and legs.

The extra space makes the Plus ideal for:

• People who move around a lot at night

• Sleeping bag users who want to avoid an "oppressive" feeling

• Campers who want just a little extra comfort without a lot of extra weight

Plus models are also often equipped with extra features, such as leg warmers, smart storage pockets and improved collar constructions.

Which version will you choose?

The nice thing about Husky's new approach is that you now choose not only based on comfort temperature or material, but also on body height and personal sleeping preferences.

• Are you shorter than 170 cm? Choose a Short.
• Are you taller than 185 cm? Then the Long is your best choice.
• Want more space or extra comfort? Go for the Plus.
