# Anime Style Sleeping Bags STRICT-G x NANGA Launches RX-78-2 Gundam Shield Sleeping Bag By Amy Duong | Published 2026-03-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strictg-x-nanga References: [p-bandai.jp](https://p-bandai.jp/global_newpc.html)  The [STRICT-G](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-strictg-x-new-era) x [NANGA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanga-attack-on-titan-sleeping-bag) [RX-78-2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gundam-1) Gundam Shield Sleeping Bag is a collaborative outdoor product that transforms the iconic Gundam shield into a functional camping item. The STRICT-G x NANGA RX-78-2 Gundam Shield Sleeping Bag features a bold red, white, and navy exterior modeled after the RX-78-2 mobile suit’s shield from the Mobile Suit Gundam series. The sleeping bag uses a lightweight shell and a minimalist single-quilt structure that directly stitches the inner and outer layers together to reduce weight while maintaining insulation. The bag is designed for three-season outdoor use and weighs about 350 grams. Insulation is provided by premium washed-down feathers processed by Japanese manufacturer Kawada Feather, while the outer shell is ultra-thin, lightweight, and water-resistant to support heat retention during outdoor use. The design also includes an anti-snag zipper system that helps prevent the teeth from catching the fabric during operation.
