Description

Resisting very low night temperatures in Himalayan winter conditions is a major challenge for climbers expecting more from a sleeping bag than just surviving at -45°C.

This, of course, depends upon the sleeping bag's design and quality, which make sure you sleep correctly allowing your aching body to recuperate.

High-quality warm sleeping is the key to success in any high altitude adventure and the Thor is the answer from Valandré once the temperatures and conditions are in the extreme negative.

The Thor NEO uses the fundamental anatomical baffle design from the unconditional Shocking Blue, featuring an identical foot box, draft collar and hood design that has been in use for several years. Professional field testers and experienced outdoor and mountaineering users all agree to a limit of comfort of the Shocking Blue to be at -20°C to -25°C (-5°F to -13°F).

Due to its success we took the Shocking Blue and gave it a +60% increase in baffle height and down load, keeping the generous inside dimensions to what our colleagues proposed. In order to keep the total weight and pack size down, we decreased the zipper length from 175cm to 135cm (69in to 53in).

The result is a bag that while being spacious it keeps the climber warm at -40°C to 45°C (-40°F to -50°F). It also offers a high tech foot box, draft collar and hood design with a fill weight of 1240g and a total weight of only 1870g (down load 43.7oz and total 66oz)

As the old saying goes: 'Maximize it.......don't criticize it'

Size Guide, Weight & Measurements

Selecting the right valandre sleeping bag is essential to ensure comfortable nights outdoors. Here are the criteria to consider to find the valandre sleeping bag that suits you, especially in terms of size.

  1. Choose the Right Size for Your Body Shape The Valandré range of sleeping bags offers three different sizes:

    • Size S: for someone up to 165 cm tall, with an internal length of 170 cm.
    • Size M: for someone between 165 and 180 cm tall, with an internal length of 185 cm.
    • Size L: for someone up to 195 cm tall, with an internal length of 200 cm.

  2. Why Choose a Bag That Fits Your Size? Choosing a sleeping bag that's too big or too small can affect your comfort and the quality of your sleep:

    • Too big: your body will have to heat up too much space, which could lead to heat loss.
    • Too small: you may feel cramped, needing to curl up your legs or compress the foot and head compartments, which reduces the thermal efficiency of the insulation.

  3. A Well-Fitted Bag for Greater Comfort A valandre sleeping bag that fits your size ensures a restful sleep, with enough space for your feet and hood without compressing the insulation. Additionally, you can store small useful items during the night, such as a battery, phone, or water bottle.

  4. Between Two Sizes? Choose the Larger One If you’re between two sizes or need to store a lot of gear at the bottom of the bag (clothes, thermos, gas, etc.), it's recommended to choose the larger size. This advice also applies if you prefer more space for a comfortable sleep.

In summary, choosing the right sleeping bag size maximizes its thermal efficiency and your comfort, especially in extreme conditions.
