Introduction: MCED AG-200 challenges the industry's lightest sleeping bag with an astonishing weight of just 0.38kg. In outdoor activities, sleep is essential for recovery, and the quality of your sleeping bag directly impacts your comfort.

Most sleeping bags on the market use either synthetic fibers or natural down as insulation, with down being the most efficient for warmth and compactness. Typically, a down sleeping bag weighs around 1 to 2kg. However, with the growing trend toward ultralight gear, brands worldwide are introducing sleeping bags under 1kg. MCED takes this concept further, introducing a groundbreaking 0.38kg sleeping bag, which, when packed, is no bigger than a standard water bottle.

Combining Taiwan's Manufacturing Excellence AG-200 brings together carefully selected materials with high-quality Taiwanese craftsmanship, offering adventurers a superior lightweight experience without compromising warmth.

Core Design Concept: The ultralight design concept originated from the needs of minimalist hikers, who prioritize every gram in their gear. For example, they even cut off toothbrush handles to reduce weight. AG-200 adopts this same philosophy, questioning redundant design elements in sleeping bags, such as hoods. Since most hikers already carry a down jacket or similar for warmth, MCED designed AG-200 without the hood, reducing weight further. Using ultra-light 7D fabric and premium 850+ FP down, MCED crafted a record-breaking 380g sleeping bag that outperforms many industry standards in terms of weight.

AG-200 Overview: Designed for ultralight adventurers, the AG-200 weighs just 380g, offering a highly portable solution for mountaineers and backpackers. Filled with 850+FP premium ethical goose down, it ensures excellent warmth while remaining incredibly lightweight. Whether you're on a long-distance hike, camping, or climbing at high altitudes, the AG-200 meets all your needs.

This half-body sleeping bag concept, which has existed for some time but is less common, covers the lower two-thirds of your body, while your down jacket takes care of your upper body. This reduces backpack weight significantly. For general camping, it’s ideal for Taiwan’s summers, and when layered with another sleeping bag, it doubles the warmth, making it suitable for colder conditions.

Taiwan-Made for Quality Assurance AG-200 is fully manufactured in Taiwan, showcasing local craftsmanship and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Every detail is rigorously checked, from materials to manufacturing processes, all adhering to international standards. The sleeping bag’s box-baffle construction prevents down from shifting or compressing, enhancing warmth retention in cold environments.

Internationally Certified Ethical Down MCED takes great care at every production stage to ensure that its 850+ FP down meets strict quality standards. The down is processed by a Taiwanese factory and independently tested by IDFL (International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory) to ensure both purity and warmth. MCED also sources only ethical down (Ethical Down) from suppliers who follow humane practices, ensuring no live-plucking or force-feeding. The entire supply chain is transparent, providing consumers with peace of mind.

850+ FP With a fill power (FP) of 850+, one ounce (30g) of down can loft to over 850 cubic inches. This high fill power means less down is required to achieve the same warmth rating, which is vital for a sleeping bag's performance. Each MCED sleeping bag comes with certification from IDFL, ensuring its quality.

Box-Baffle Design for Maximum Insulation Down is spherical and lofty, trapping heat effectively. Traditional stitching techniques can compress the down, allowing cold air to seep through. MCED’s Box-Baffle design prevents this by keeping the down in place, ensuring optimal insulation and warmth throughout.

Versatile Design for Various Conditions In addition to being ultralight, the AG-200 is versatile, making it suitable for different outdoor scenarios. It pairs perfectly with a down jacket for mountaineering or serves as a lightweight option for summer camping. The ultra-lightweight design is also ideal for international travel, taking up minimal space in backpacks or luggage. For extra warmth, it can be combined with another sleeping bag to double its insulation, making it an all-purpose outdoor gear essential.

Conclusion: The AG-200 ultralight half-body down sleeping bag is now available on MCED's official website and at major retailers. For ultralight outdoor explorers looking to reduce pack weight, the AG-200 will be a valuable companion. Whether you're seeking ultralight gear or multi-functional outdoor equipment, the AG-200 will meet your needs.
