Fleece-lined sleeping bag Review - Save £££s!!

10/3/2018

Comments

 
Keeping warm at sea is very important, especially on long, cold high latitude races such as Legs 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 of the Clipper Race. The last week of Leg 5 is also very very cold!

​A warm sleeping bag is a must-have for sailors doing a 'cold ocean'. Here, we review the budget option - The Mountain Warehouse Sutherland Sleeping Bag.

The Neptune is the top of the range sailing boot from Le Chameau stable. Le Chameau is well known for its high-end boots and the Neptune does not disappoint.
 
The boot is made from rubber. It is robust and extremely hardwearing. It has a thick sole to reduce loss of heat through conductivity, it has an excellent all-grip sole, gaiters to prevent leakage and water ingress and a thick neoprene lining to ensure you have warm feet even on the coldest night watch.

Fierce Turtle sell the Le Chameau Neptune. Register with us for a significant member-only discount offered throughout the year.
 
The RRP is £315. Needless to say, we do a much better price for Clipper Crew.
