Pillow to match. Zips slightly stiff from sea air immersion in 2013/4 Clipper Race. Only used on Leg 5 for about 1.5 weeks. Otherwise brand new.  Waterproof Breathable Shell:
4oz Exeat Fabric is a tough, durable and waterproof direct-coated hydrophilic, breathable polyurethane. This fabric permits water vapour to pass through the fabric from the body-side to the outside so keeping the inside of the sleeping bag and the insulation layers comfortable and dry. Exeat fabric has been one of the top fabrics for high reliability performance for over 15 years and has been continuously improved over that time. Exeat Fabrics have been independently tested and conform to EN343 for resistance to water penetration and breathability. Fibre-pile Insulation: Polyester fibre-pile pile. It is warm to the touch, it is equally warm when wet, and as the fibres do not absorb water, for insulating material it dries very quickly. It also resists mould - which is an issue with the inevitable build up of condensation. YKK full-length burstable zips All zips on our bags are YKK coil for their strength and reliability. The main zips are YKK No10 coil with non-lock zippers. Poly-cotton: We use polycotton for the pillowcase in the original Ocean Sleepwear sleeping bag. It is comfortable, and can be quickly washed and dried, stopping the build up of salt from wet hair.  Only used about 5/6 times on Legs 4 and 8

Bought new for the Clipper Race 2017-18  If you're doing clipper, you'll need sailing socks and you'll spend a small fortune on them. This set, if you are male and fit "Large" size, will get you on your way without the heavy outlay.
Believe it or not, these 7 pairs of socks are the only socks I took on the 29 day crossing of the North Pacific on leg 6 of the 17/18 race, and they worked out well (though I may have been a bit smelly!). 2 pairs of Seal Skinz sailing socks, one long (over calf) and one medium (mid-calf), 2 pairs of Gill Neoprene socks (these were FAB - very warm) and 3 pairs of merino wool small socks which go underneath the others. And randomly a pair of merino wool fingerless gloves (pretty sure they're SealSkinz - go under other gloves). This lot will set you back c£140-150. The long socks did all my training levels and the crossing but are still ok. The neoprene & the mid-length just Leg 6. The merino gloves are unused. The merino socks I can't remember!!!
A pair of excellent boots for cold conditions. I bought them from Fierce Turtle after reading the recommendation. Mine were used on a level 4 training & Leg 6 of 17/18 - North Pacific and they were perfect; I completely forgot I had them on. Grip was first class and the gaiters did as well as anyone else's keeping water out. The first mate had a pair he'd had for 6/7 years of heavy sailing and they looked like mine (i.e. they wear well)! Highly recommended if you're doing a cold, wet leg - 3 or 6, or going RtW
My shoe size is 9.5/10 in UK, and these fitted well. You need to be sure you fit these with a couple of pairs of socks on, so recommend visiting a shop and determining your size before you buy.
