WITHDRAWN (HOB, TAS) CRUX eVent 500 waterproof sleeping bag

Postby stu » Sat 23 Jun, 2012 10:43 pm

CRUX Torpedo 500 eVent waterproof sleeping bag
RRP: GBP 599 (AU$ 900+)
Asking: offers over or around $500 + postage
size: medium
zip: right
condition: used for 2 nights only (with a liner) - effectively brand new.
link: http://www.crux.uk.com/en/sleeping-bags.php?range=3&product=17

Can't get much better, this bag is top of the line, waterproof (welded seams) & has a quoted lifetime of 20 years intensive use & 30 years regular use.
I have 3 other sleeping bags & unfortunately can't afford or justify so many so this one is up for sale, if I can get a reasonable offer.

PM me for more details / photos.

Cheers
Stu

Just wondering... why pick this as the one to sell not the one to keep, since you spent so much on it & hardly used it...?

I have sold the other one as well.
This bag is awesome, but I need to go lighter for a hard 14 day trip next summer.
If I had the luxury I'd have multiple bags, but alas I don't... :(

More & more tempting - but having revisited my dwindling bank account, i've decided i must pass, good as your deal is. Sorry!

I wish I wasn't permanently broke and I wish that it didn't always rain on my overnight trips!! This would be fantastic but I have to be strong and keep saving for a tent :D

400 including free postage within Oz.
This is about as low as i'll go - i'll just keep it if someone doesn't want it at this very good price...

Having to withdraw this one from sale - it's just too good a bag to sell this cheaply & i'll deal with the couple of hundred grams over a lighter model....extensive reading shows not many better bags out there & i'd regret this sale I think.
