W's Torpedo 900
£899
Including UK VAT.
The Torpedo 900 has been developed for Himalayan climbing over 7000 metres and is also suitable for alpine-style routes on 8000’ers. Filled with extremely high quality 850 cu.in. (EU rating) Polish down, and protected with a waterproof shell, the 900 can easily be used in open bivouacs or single-skin tents. Like the 500 and 700, the Torpedo 900 is available in three lengths and two widths. Look at our sleeping bag selection chart for guidelines.
The Torpedo 900 can be upgraded with the addition of one of new Radioactive range of sleeping bag liners (which can also be used as stand-alone ultralight bags) which will be available from Spring 2015.

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. Try to keep it as clean as possible to minimize washing (this ultimately damages the down).
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.
