\n

The Shocking Blue includes a mesh storage bag and a nylon compression sack. The photo above shows the bag in the compression sack next to a gallon jug which is filled with water to equal the weight of the bag and compression sack (the jug is filled to 2.9″ deep).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This photo of the Valandre Shocking Blue shows the sleeping bag with the full length side zipper fully open. This mummy style mountaineering bag features a unique draft collar and premium 800 fill goose down insulation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The Shocking Blue uses a double sided snag-free zipper with a hook and loop fastener at the top to keep the bag from opening. An insulation filled draft tube (red<\/span> arrow) and form-fitting two piece draft collar (purple<\/span> arrow) help to keep heat inside the bag.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The photo above was taken looking down from the top of the Shocking Blue into the face opening of the bag with the draft collar fastened shut. The collar is a two piece design closed with a zipper on one side (red<\/span> arrow) and a hook and loop closure on the other side (green<\/span> arrow). The neck opening can be cinched shut using an elastic drawcord adjustment (purple<\/span> arrow). In the photo above, a piece of orange fabric has been placed inside the bag to make the neck opening more visible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The top of the bag features a hook and loop closure (red<\/span> arrows) and a double drawcord system with interlocking adjusters (shown in model’s hand). The drawcord adjusters can be used separately, or snapped together at the top of the side zipper.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The insulated hood can be cinched down around the user’s head by tightening the drawcord adjustments on the face opening. This configuration helps to retain heat in extremely cold conditions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In warmer conditions, the side zipper can be partially opened from the bottom of the bag to provide ventilation to the foot section. The ergonomic footbox is shown empty in the photo above to demonstrate the loft and shape retention of the footbox.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
