Working full time on the day job in an office, running Criterion and doing sports photography at the weekend leaves very little time to rest and relax. It's great to have a week away.

Normal service resumes next week. You can still order online, bags will be despatched Thursday 10th September.

Congratulations to JCB , Prodrive and Ricardo for setting a new land speed world record. This time for a hydrogen powered car. It is fantastic to see UK based companies and staff at the forefront of technological advancements.

I was lucky enough to visit Prodrive’s home in Banbury a few years ago when Criterion supplied sleeping bags for the Bahrain Raid Xtreme Dakar Rally team. Walking through their facility felt like stepping into a motorsport version of NASA.

Congratulations to everyone involved. 500MPH next?

When I restarted Criterion in September 2023, I had to streamline the range due to limited space to store stock and the amount of capital I had in my initial investment. The Prime 700 was one of these bags which was mothballed and I am delighted to announce that it is now in stock and available to purchase for your winter escapades in the mountains and highlands.

This new version of the Prime 700 retains the core specifications of the original model. The dimensions, 850 FP goose down fill quality and user features are the same. However, to improve weight and packability. The shell fabric has been updated to Pertex Quantum 35 (35g/m²), contributing to a total weight reduction of approximately 100g over the previous model which weighed 1210g. The new version weighs in around 1110g which represents just over an 8% reduction in weight over the old version.

The image in this post shows the old Prime 700 being used in the Scottish Highlands by Myrddin Irwin the gear renown gear tester.

Best Wishes
