Description:

This design is suited to expedition use, whether in high mountains or high latitudes right up to the poles. With the right downfill this bag can protect you down to temperatures below -64°C (-83°F).

The design has a close-fitting down-filled mummy hood, and side V-channels which ensure all areas of the body are insulated. The baffles over the chest are vertically aligned, which stops any horizontal shifting of the down caused by arm movement during the night.

Width: Standard size: chest circle approx 162cm; waist circle 144cm.

PHD’s trapezoid baffle system is used throughout. This is the best of the technical baffle systems, combining excellent down control with low baffle weight.

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new [Design-your-own] sleeping bag. I used it on the LAMM and I heard lots of people say next morning that they had been cold - and I was snuggly warm. I also had a tiny rucksack compared with my partner - thanks in large part to my ultra light (and gorgeous) sleeping bag."
—Kate O'Donoghue

"Just to say that we’ve been absolutely loving our DYO sleeping bags these past few months in New Zealand. Cannot fault them - absolutely wonderful and frankly I don't know why I would ever sleep in anything else ever again!"
—Vanessa Barnett

"I don't have to go to dozens of stores to find the perfect sleeping bag; I go to a PHD, where I can customize everything in a sleeping bag, down to the fill pattern and which side it zips open."

"[Yours] is the most awesome piece of 'Design your own sleeping bag' software that I've ever seen."
—Howard.

"Just been pointed to your website, looking for a decent sleeping bag for Aconcagua & Himalayas. Just wanted to say that i found the website in general and the design your own bag section in particular, to be fantastic. Have spent over an hour designing (& re-designing) a bag, and still trying to make my mind up, too much bloody choice ... ! Anyway, glad to see a British company making world class gear, keep up the good work."
