Testimonials

The following testimonal relates to Equip's ANTI Insect, ANTI Bacterial Sleeping Bags & Liners.

To the makers of the Equip range.

I'd like to thank the makers of the Equip sleeping bag for making such an effective bug resistant product.

We used the Equip sleeping bag over a period of 3 months whilst completing the Bibbulmun track end to end, north to south. We started in spring and finished in summer. Through the last weeks of the walk, and promoted by the late rains, we found ourselves overnighting in the open huts with masses of mosquitoes. This was a worry because the areas down south are prone to the Ross River virus, a mosquito-borne flu like illness that can be quite debilitating. I had no net and I slept in the treated sleeping bag, whilst the others slept under nets. Most nights it was zipped up, but sometimes it was too hot so I had it open. Occasionally the buzz of the bugs woke me up, (and filled me with unease), but I was never bitten. I was told the bag was impregnated with a 'synthetic pyrethroid' which certainly seems to work.
