The Valandre Odin Neo is featured in the Outside Magazine Winter Buyer's Guide. As a cold weather down sleeping bag, the Odin NEO is ideal for high altitude expeditions, general expeditions, winter alpine climbing, and general cold weather camping. The Valandre Odin NEO sleeping is designed for extremely low temperatures at high altitude. The Odin NEO brings warmth and comfort to the climber, allowing them to save energy during the night and gather strength for the next day. A technical high altitude expedition bag should be: • A bag of volume (offering a possibility of layering) • A bag with side-raised compartments (offering optimal side insulation) • A bag that is capable of withstanding -40º F temps • A bag with unbelievable compressibility that will decompress within minutes once removed from its compression bag (speed is safety!) The Odin NEO is 10 percent lighter than its predecessor without making any compromises in quality. The bag provides isolation and protection, offering a genius inside volume which avoids compressing the down membrane to eliminate cold spots. The Odin NEO is a rectangular 4-piece bag consisting of one top layer, one back layer, and two side bands. The anatomical shape, including an articulated foot-box, is made and obtained by shaping the 4 pieces simultaneously. The "half moon" hood offers maximum insulation and the incorporated static draw-cord cinches the hood over your forehead tightly to optimally isolate and contain the warmth inside the bag. The anatomical 3D draft collar compensates for different lengths fully to protect your shoulders, neck, and throat and keeps you toasty from head to toe. The architecture of the Odin NEO features precut anatomical baffles in a differentially cut construction (32 compartments). Compared to the Valandre Shocking Blue NEO sleeping bag, all values in the Odin Neo have been increased by 30%: 30% higher baffles, 30% more fill weight, and a short 53-inch expedition zipper. The Odin NEO has been tested by professional testers in Stuttgart, Germany and on the Pik Lenin Mountain in Kyrgyzstan that confirmed the bag’s positive performance in -30º F weather. For extreme cold-weather adventures, the Valandre Odin NEO sleeping bag is the ideal solution for staying warm while you sleep. Don’t avoid exploring in the mountains just because it’s cold outside, grab yourself a Valandre sleeping bag and enjoy the adventure.

In many ways, the old Norse beliefs of Scandinavia are strange and wonderful. The old pagan religion had gods and goddesses of music and fertility, nature deities, elves, dwarves, giants, magical weapons and modes of transportation, werewolves and other magical creatures. They had warrior heroes slaying huge serpents, and fantastically strange stories.

As the wife of Odin, and the mother of Baldur, she is the ‘Queen of the Æsir’. This deity was worshipped as a sky goddess and is believed to be responsible for weaving the clouds. Additionally, the Norse believed that she had the power of prophecy and was in charge of weaving the fates. Love and marriage were also in the domain of this powerful goddess. As an interesting side, the English weekday name ‘Friday’ is etymologically derived from the name of this goddess. ~ Ancientorigins.net Scent description: Woody, Floral Honey, Rosy, Citrus, Musky/Animalic, Gourmand The oils I use are 100% natural, vegan friendly and contain no chemicals, synthetics or dyes of any kind.
