Ocean Sleeping Bag Hire (SKIRR Challenge) - UK SHIPPING ONLY
HIRE CHARGE includes £100 Surety Deposit (Returnable).
The Ocean Sleepwear Sleeping Bag is one of just two known to us that is manufactured for specialist marine applications - i.e. extreme offshore sailing and cold, damp conditions. The second manufacturer, Gauss Marine, no longer makes bags.
The Ocean bags are simply fantastic when used in the Southern Ocean, North Pacific, or Arctic Circle sailing. They're double fleece-lined with a heavy-duty external Gore-Tex outer layer. They will comfortably accommodate someone up to 6ft 2 inches tall. The bag packs down to 60cm x 50cm x 50cm.
My circumnavigation was made much more comfortable by a marine sleeping bag! Unfortunately, they aren't much good for much else as they are bulky - making them no good for hiking or climbing. And they are expensive, coming in at up to £400 plus shipping!
Now you can hire an Ocean Sleepwear Marine Sleeping bag for as little as £89 for a SKIRR Adventure Leg and just £29 extra for each additional, consecutive leg thereafter, saving you £££s on buying a new bag!
Shipping is limited to within the UK mainland. We can ship to your UK mainland home or a designated address in the UK, at your risk. You can define a specific delivery date, below.
Hire charges include a £100 returnable deposit when hiring items from us. This is returnable upon the safe return of the hired item in accordance with our terms and conditions of hire.
When you have finished with the bag simply return it to us in accordance with the terms and conditions.
RETURNS PROCEDURE - Please make sure to read this!
Your bag should be returned and received by us in good condition and laundered (if you selected the option to launder before return) within the hire period. The returns procedure is set out here.

Top Tips
- When joining the inner bag to the outer, start matching the Velcro at the head end, next to the zips, as this will make a neater job and avoid any bunching and will produce a more uniform join
- When rolling your bag, firstly, fold the top of the head flush, leaving no pile from the inner bags exposed, then roll from the bottom towards the head and secure with the strap. This will give the maximum protection, in-case someone in their foulies makes themselves comfortable on your bunk, or opens an overhead hatch!
- Always fully dry your Ocean Sleepwear® bag before storing away for long periods of non-use. To get the longest life from you bag, it is much better to store it loosely folded – not crammed into its stuff-sac
