About Crux Torpedo 500 Long An all in one bivvy system for big wall climbers and alpinists. Crux's Torpedo waterproof sleeping bags are designed to meet the demands of serious mountaineers.
The Torpedo 500 is filled with 500g of the best quality Polish Goose down and is probably the most versatile bag in the crux range, suitable not only for climbing in the Alps but also for non-mountaineering activities such as trekking and adventure travel. The outer shell of our Torpedo sleeping bags is made of eVent waterproof/breathable fabric. Since the eVent fabric roll is not wide enough to allow a whole bag to be cut as a single piece, the shell is made up of two pieces of fabric which are sewn together. This seam is then taped to ensure that the shell is completely waterproof. The bag is opened and closed by means of a highly water-resistant Riri Aquazip, whose plastic teeth mesh to form a watertight seal. In other words, the only part of our Torpedo sleeping bags that isn’t completely impervious to water is the area around the head, which is why we don’t recommend using them out in the open rain. Other than that, they will give complete protection
All Torpedo sleeping bags have double baffles to cover the zip, and these are connected directly to the full neck baffle. The neck baffle itself has a conventional one-handed shock-cord adjustment. There is also an adjustment cord around the perimeter of the hood.The inner of every Torpedo sleeping bag comprises a system of vertical and horizontal baffles. These compartments are designed to hold the down in place around the body of the sleeper and maximise the performance of the bag as a whole.
