The Crux Torpedo 700 is the sleeping bag for the active mountaineer climbing winter alpine routes and/or peaks of 6000–7000 metres in South America and the Greater Ranges. The Torpedo's waterproof shell means that you can bivouac outside or in a single-skin shelter without ever having to worry about your down becoming damp. The shell fabric is also considerably more robust than the lightweight fabrics in common usage. Plus it also has a quiet handle (for a rustle-free sleep).
Whilst the waterproof 2-layered eVent outer isn't the lightest or most compact fabric going it is durably waterproof, meaning that both yourself and the down won't get wet on snowy and damp bivvies. You also won't need the extra weight and bulk of a bivvy bag for snow holing and cold weather camping.
The breathability of the shell helps with internal moisture management meaning that your down won't freeze or get bulky and heavy. Each baffle is laminated directly to the eVent outer, unlike other waterproof sleeping bags where a waterproof outer is stitched over an existing bag, and thus the Torpedo range saves loads of extra weight. The zip is a highly water resistant Riri Aquazip which uses diving suit technology to keep the zip as robust and watertight, yet light and easy to use as possible.
The medium size has 700g of down, an overall weight of 1390g and a 188cm internal length. Includes roll-top stuff sac and large cotton bag for long term storage.
