For higher trekking peaks and those camping in the depths of winter this down bag provides exceptional levels of warmth and protection. Ideal for mountaineering, expedition and polar use.

Combining high-quality down, technical expedition-proven construction elements and a durable, water-resistant outer fabric, the Glacier 1000 is a cold-weather bag for everything from winter camping to high-altitude trekking.

Around 1000g of minimum 700-fill power Down Codex-approved duck down provides exceptional warmth in cold environments, while the lightweight and water-resistant 30-denier Drilite® Loft™ outer fabric with recycled face copes with condensation and snow, ensuring a dry and comfortable night’s sleep whether in a tent or snowhole.

Trapezoid baffles across the top of the bag ensure optimal loft, reduce cold spots and prevent down migration. In contrast, at the foot of the bag, a six-baffle system focuses warmth around your feet - an essential in sub-zero conditions. In the hood, a five-baffle system ensures the down is optimally distributed for warmth and protection over long-term use.

Inside the bag, the time-tested EXL® elasticated stitching system minimises dead airspace, reduces drafts, and pulls the liner fabric away from the down, allowing it to loft effectively for maximum warmth. Meanwhile, a full-length Gemini™ entry zip baffle eliminates heat loss in this vulnerable area and is stiffened so it won’t catch in the zip. The low-profile magnetic Lode Lock™ closure and collar drawcords are effective and easy to use in the dark.

With a tapered Alpine fit to maximise thermal performance while minimising weight and a Good Night’s Sleep Temperature of -25oC, the Glacier 1000 is ideally suited to seriously cold conditions.

  • Drilite® Loft™ outer fabric with recycled face is lightweight, breathable and water resistant, and with PFAS-free DWR.
  • Around 1000g of 90-10 Pure Duck Down with a minimum USA fill power of 700.
  • Alpine fit maximises thermal efficiency.
  • Trapezoid baffles and slanted box-wall baffles.
  • Mid-level side seams.
  • Five baffle anatomically shaped hood.
  • Six baffle anatomically shaped and offset foot-box.

  • Built to last.

EN Sleeping Bag Temperature Ratings
EN13537 is the European standard for sleeping bags and requires a thermal manikin test which produces four temperature results — upper limit, comfort, lower limit and extreme. There is no legal obligation to use this standard though most reputable brands do, even non-European ones. There is an exemption for military sleeping bags and sleeping bags for extreme temperatures, ie a comfort range of below -25°C. 
Upper Limit: the temperature at which a standard man can sleep without excessive perspiration. It is established with the hood and zips open and with arms outside the bag.
Comfort: the temperature at which a standard woman can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position.
Lower Limit: the temperature at which a standard man can sleep for eight hours in a curled position without waking.
Extreme: the minimum temperature at which a standard woman can remain for six hours without risk of death from hypothermia (though frostbite is still possible).
For the purpose of these measurements, a "standard man" is assumed to be 25 years old, with a height of 1.73m (ie 5' 7", not very tall) and a weight of 73kg; a "standard woman" is assumed to be 25 years old, with a height of 1.60m (ie 5' 2.5") and a weight of 60kg.
