Left or right handed zippers, what’s the difference and what’s right for you?

Posted 18 May 2016

Tundra Sleeping Bags come with a choice of left or right handed zippers. This is not generally known as it is not the first thing that jumps off the page at you.

The majority of people, but certainly not everyone, are right handed therefore our standard bag is made for them and is called LH zipper. Confusing we know, but this is industry standard and LH zipper means the zip is on the left hand side when the bag is laid on the floor and is easiest to operate for a right handed person laid on their back.

Conversely an RH zipper bag is easiest for a left handed person in the same position.

When it comes to ordering, simply select the option most appropriate to you before adding the sleeping bag to your shopping basket.
