OCEAN SLEEPWEAR MUMMY BAG BLACK (SHORT)

24/6/2026

 
Picture
Picture
Ocean Sleepwear SHORT sleeping bag for sale. This is advertised as suitable for 5' 4", however I'm 5' 8" and it fits perfectly.

Includes outer shell, 2 x insulating layers, pillow case & 2 x stuff sacks. I've also whipped the internal zips to prevent the uncomfortable of cold metal. All zips & velcro work perfectly. Bag has been laundered & sanitised.

The bag was used on a 6 week expedition to Greenland, and a handful of training weeks on the solent. Perfect sleeping bag for all legs of the Clipper Race expect leg 7, and especially great for Skirr expeditions.

Ocean Volvo sleeping bag (rectangular)

Picture
Picture
Ocean VOLVO sleeping bag. Top of the range ocean bag, designed for the Volvo 'Ocean Race' crews. Costs £496 new.  See below.
Picture
The bag is top of the range and very roomy, being square rather than mummy-shaped.

However, one of the fleece layers (micro fleece) has a zip which bursts. The options are simple.
  1. Either use the bag as it is with just one fleece inner (this would probably suffice on cold legs and warm legs alike).
  2. Alternatively, a purchaser could get a seamstress to fix or replace the inner zip
  3. Or use the secondary fleece as an unattached additional fleece sheet when it is very cold.

In any event, as such, the bag is not perfect and is, therefore, available at a huge 55% discount on new!

The best sleeping bag for the harsh environment of the Clipper race. The only lovely cocoon to retreat to after a cold and wet watch. I used it at leg 2 and 3 of the last clipper race. Important that you stay dry and warm when all condensation in the boat rains down on you while sleeping .

Sleeping bag is like new, has been dry cleaned professionally and comes with compression straps and waterproof micro fleece pillowcase.

PLEASE NOTE: This bag is made to measure and is therefore longer than the regular. 2,2m x 1m

volvo Ocean sleeping bag (top of range) rectangular

This is the rectangular (i.e. not the mummy) sleeping bag, originally designed for crew on the Volvo Ocean Race. Excellent condition. Robust, well-designed and renowned amongst serious offshore yacht race crews. A must-have for high latitude sailing. Warm, dry and sturdy.
​

DESCRIBED BY CAPE WILD AS FOLLOWS;

While designed for the pipe-cots of Ocean racing boats this Volvo Ocean Race sleeping bag can be used equally well for sleeping on a pile of wet sails!  It is large, rectangular and waterproof. All layers are independently removable for maximum flexibility.

Shape, Size and Construction: Large Rectangular shape with full-length 2-way separating zippers that allow the sleeping bag to open out flat to become a bunk blanket or just open at the foot to allow air to yor feet! This bag is designed for crew to get right down into, it has a fully close-able overlapping head and an elasticated drawstring to keep the flap in place. Its 2m length allow most crew to get right down inside.

Waterproof Breathable Outer Shell: Waterproof breathable 4oz Exeat fabric outer layer provides a tough and durable barrier to moisture. Treated with a breathable fluorocarbon coating and fully tape-sealed to prevent wicking through stitch holes. The VOR bag has a full length storm flap to prevent water ingress through the zip, velcro prevents water getting close.


Full-length Non-Lock zips: Large No10 coil zips for their strength and reliability, with non-lock zippers and layers designed to work together means rapid entry and exit, no tangled layers. The zips, protected by a storm flap on the outer shell, can be opened both top and bottom to let your feet breathe.

Outer Fibre-pile Insulation Layers: 2x layers of 10mm dense weave fibre-pile providing a luxurious feel while keeping an insulation layer of air next to the skin. Generous 10cm shoulder baffle to reduce heat loss.
​
Inner Microfleece Insulation: This is light and cosy for warmer climates. The layers are added to and stripped from the inside of the bags. Given the hot-cold-hot VOR route, the microfleece layer lies next to the outer shell.

While salt water environments are notoriously harsh a Volvo Ocean Race Sleeping Bag can be expected to have a very long life with some simple maintenance and care.

OCEAN SLEEPWEAR SLEEPING BAG

28/3/2025

 
Picture
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.
