Dear Mr. Supplier,

Thank you for your fast response and quotation for these sleeping bags. I am very interested in working with you.

I have some further questions if you wouldn’t mind me asking?

1. We want to ensure that the sleeping bag is lightweight, windproof, water resistant and breathable? Could you send further information about the fabrics used?

2. Can you make the zippers allow two sleeping bags to be joined together? 3. Do you have test certificates for CE, RoHS and REACH for the UK marketplace?4. We would like the sleeping bag to be in a Mummy Style with a drawstring hood, is this possible? 5. Can you certify what temperatures the sleeping bags can be used in?

I would like to ensure we get the specifications correct before moving ahead with the samples.

Looking forward to your reply,Kind regards,KymJungle Creations - Purchasing
