The Shocking Blue NEO is Valandré's iconic sleeping bag and the entry point to the NEO range: 32 100% anatomical compartments with a tubular cut and 790 g of 95/5 grey goose down, 800+ cuin (size M), for serious alpine winters and expedition base camps. The most versatile of the three NEO models, it bridges demanding alpine winters and extreme-cold expeditions.

Designed for high-altitude camps

  • 3D pre-shaped hood: anatomical profile with a face drawcord for a precise fit around the face, whatever your sleeping position.
  • Marie-Antoinette draught collar with zip: two down-filled compartments that trap warmth around the neck and shoulders.
  • Trapezoidal footbox: protects the feet without compressing the down, with a draught tube along the zip.
  • Down-filled draught tube: reinforcement along the zip with an outer storm flap – double protection against draughts.
  • NEO modular system: 135 cm right-hand or left-hand side zip; zips together with the Thor NEO and Odin NEO in all sizes. Compatible with the Valandré Combi.

The companion for base camps and nights at altitude. The undisputed benchmark in the alpine world.

Supplied with a compression sack with straps and a DELCER storage sack.

The size of your sleeping bag directly determines its thermal performance. Too big, and your body has to heat excess air and loses efficiency. Too small, and the down gets compressed at the feet and hood, exactly where it needs its loft to insulate.

A bag fitted to your height eliminates this dead space without crushing the fill. It also lets you keep cold-sensitive items close to your body: batteries, water bottle, gas canisters… which lose capacity or may freeze during the night.
