Mountain Equipment Glacier Expedition Sleeping Bag (-35°C/-31°F)

An ideal bag for polar and Himalayan expeditions. Incredibly warm and one of only a handful of bags to make use of Mountain Equipment's roomier Expedition fit, it is well suited to nights on ice. From Himalayan basecamps to polar research tents, the Glacier Expedition offers extreme warmth and comfort in some of the coldest conditions on Earth.

Using 1,352 g of minimum 700 fill power DOWN CODEX-approved duck down and a lightweight and water resistant 30 denier Drilite Loft outer fabric with recycled face, the Glacier Expedition is both exceptionally warm and able to withstand heavy use on long and demanding trips.

Trapezoid baffles across the top of the bag ensure optimal loft, reduce cold spots and prevent down migration. At the foot of the bag, a six-baffle system focuses warmth around your feet, essential when spending extended time in dangerously cold climates. In the hood, a five-baffle system ensures the down is optimally distributed for warmth and protection over long-term use.

Inside the bag, the time-tested EXL elasticated stitching system minimises dead airspace, reduces draughts and pulls the liner fabric away from the down, allowing it to loft effectively for maximum warmth. A full-length Gemini entry zip baffle eliminates heat loss in this vulnerable area and is stiffened so it will not catch in the zip. The low-profile magnetic Lode Lock closure and collar drawcords are effective and easy to use in the dark.
