Criterion Launches New Expedition Range For The Coldest Places On Earth

Redesigned for 2017 our updated Expedition range of sleeping bags, consisting of the Expedition 900 (-30°C) and the Expedition 1100 (-40°C) are the pinnacle of extreme cold weather sleeping bags. Designed with the knowledge gained from our history of Himalayan and extreme cold expeditions. Our Expedition range has an all new hood design which better insulates and protects the head, a contrast red inner for “psychological warmth” and for signalling in an emergency.
