Quite possibly the ultimate bedroom, would you agree?

Helium just got an upgrade.

The entire range is now filled with 850+ Muscovy down. More warmth and performance without unnecessary weight.

Longer days call for a little more sun protection. The Sundance range has you covered!

Using gear, you naturally are thinking about oh, this doesn’t work as well as it should, how can I improve it?

Sometimes it’s the little details which can make a product either work or not work.

Just the cut of a jacket. The length of a zip. The way the hood fits. The draw cords. Cuffs and things.

I love focussing on the final details, to produce something that’s fantastic. taken in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory by @mont

someone soon someone is going to ask me why I have such bad posture and I’m going to tell them it’s from carrying a ridiculous amount of chocolate, tents and pasta up a hill

Good equipment is key to winter bivouacking 🔑

This system allows for a reasonable amount of comfort and protection whilst keeping weight and pack size to a minimum (<10kg with climbing gear).

Sleeping bag - @mont Spindrift XT 700, rated to -13 (for warm sleepers) with a waterproof outer shell. A beast of a sleeping bag and very packable considering its warmth.

Inflatable sleeping pad - Thermarest Neoair Xlite (R3.0 version). A tad low on insulation but it seems warmer than advertised. I would recommend a pad closer to R5.0, such as the updated Xlite.

I then add an insulated torso-length foam pad beneath the inflatable pad.

Another key component about a protective bivouac is enough snow to be able to dig a deep enough snow coffin - a lightweight shovel is a must. This also allows for an easy tarp pitch above the hole in the event of wind or light snow.

⚠️ Please note that this is an advanced winter camping strategy that requires sufficient skill and experience before attempting for yourself.
