FS [NSW Syd] Alpkit pipedream 400 down sleeping bag

Postby undercling-mike » Wed 09 Jul, 2014 12:26 am

Hi all, I'm selling my Alpkit pipedream 400 down sleeping bag 2012 version. This is a high quality lightweight mummy bag constructed with lightweight nylon shell and liner fabric and filled with 400g of 750+ fill down. It has a full length 2-way zip and draft tube with a stiffener to prevent the zip from catching the draft tube. It also has a neck draft collar and a full hood as usual for a mummy bag. The weight is listed as 750g and it was spot on on my scale. The temp rating is -3*C as the limit of comfort, this is not EN tested but matches well enough with my experience, e.g. it kept me warm in the blue mountains in winter when the temp was a little below zero and there was frost. This is in a tent on my own with thermals and a silk inner sheet. Comes with the original lightweight stuff sack, compression sack and cotton storage bag.

The bag has been used lightly and always with a silk inner sheet. It's never been stored compressed and I've probably only stuffed it into the fairly tight lightweight stuff sack a handful of times, I used the larger compression sack without cinching the straps down for most trips. The bag is in really good condition and the only things worth noting that I could see are that the screen printed logo on the front is wearing off, which started pretty much immediately and the little internal security pocket is not really useful as the fabric used to form the pocket has unfinished edges inside that fray and catch the zip. This is how it came and it only affects the fabric used to make the pocket, it doesn't affect the integrity of the main body fabric at all. On the topic of the fabric, it's really nice. The outer fabric seems to have a good DWR coating and seems durable enough and the inner fabric has a really nice soft feel.

The bag is the standard size with left zip. It fits me well without being cramped at 5'10 and 70kg, I'd say 6' is probably about the limit for height. More details about the bag can be found here: https://www.alpkit.com/pipedream/

I'm asking $240, pickup in Sydney near Maroubra or post at cost.

Cheers,
Michael
