Sleeping Bags
W's Torpedo 350
£599
Including UK VAT.
The Torpedo 350 is ideal for those wanting a weather-resistant down bag for sleeping under a tarp or outside in cool conditions. Its low fill-weight makes it a useful all-rounder outside of the mountains, but if you’re happy to push your comfort tolerances, it is suitable for the Alps in summer and for ranges at lower altitudes and/or latitudes. For additional flexibility, it can be upgraded with the addition of a Protium, Deuterium or Tritium sleeping-bag liner from our new Radioactive range (available from June 2016).
The Torpedo 350 is available in Size 1 for women.

The comfort rating represents the lowest temperature at which a standard adult FEMALE can have a comfortable night’s sleep.
The lower limit represents the lowest temperature at which a standard adult MALE is deemed able to have a comfortable night’s sleep.
We like the EN13537 ratings at crux. Going by our own extensive experience, we do feel they accurately reflect the temperature limitations of each sleeping bag for a comfortable night’s sleep. Individual tolerances may allow some people to go beyond these figures, but we believe this is at the discretion of the user and is not something to be claimed by us.
Care & attention+
Down is a very resilient insulating material and, with basic care, any down sleeping bag should last you a very long time (if not your entire active climbing life).
There are two simple rules to ensure longevity:
1. Always store your sleeping bag uncompressed in a dry, airy place
2. Always use a sleeping bag liner. This will prevent the bulk of body oils and perspiration from getting into the down itself and reduce the need for washing the bag.
NEVER machine-wash an eVent-shelled down sleeping bag. We highly recommend you hand-wash your down sleeping bag or, alternatively, use a professional service. You can download washing instructions here.
