This is the Rolls Royce of the Ocean Sleepwear range. It is the heavy duty rectangular bag. Not the mummy bag. It's amazingly versatile and as it is rectangular it's cavernous. You can also open it out on your bunk to act as a bunk cover in hot weather.

Amazingly versatile bag:

- four adjustable layers
- red
- rectangle (not mummy)

GAUSS Marine Waterproof Sleeping Bag, fleece inner and pillow

Picture
Picture
Waterproof nylon outer skin, detachable fleece-lined inner, separate long fleecy pillow and sturdy carry bag.

It is a standard size but I would describe it as large.

Please see photos and condition description below. More photos available on request.

Bought for 2011/12 Clipper race but has been stored in smoke free home since. The sleeping bag has been used, but inner fleece part has been washed and is in very good condition. The pillow has some sign of wear. Since washing the inner label of the pillow case has started to disintegrate (white bits). Outer waterproof sleeping bag has some sign of wear (including salt damage to zip) but it is still fully functioning and waterproof. The carry bag also has some sign of wear and salt damage to the zip but still works.

Item will require courier, costs to be agreed.

Ocean Sleepwear Sleeping Bag (Small)

Ocean Goretex Sleeping Bag
Ocean Sleeping Bag interior
Product info can be found here - CapeWild www.capewild.com.

Size is small which worked fine for me (5ft 8in). I couldn't have imagined crossing the North Pacific without it. Definitely improved moral to know I would be warm and cozy during the bitter cold nights.

I also bought this used and was in good working condition except for the zipper that attaches the inner 2 sleeping liners to the outer plastic liner. This didn't affect me when using it as it still is fully zipped on the inside. But be aware that one side will not zip to connect the outer liner.

Item ships from the United States. LOW PRICE!
