Just received some gear from Alpkit and would like a bit of advice please?
The issue is with the down filling or lack of it in the torso area. The underneath is worse than the top. There is plenty of loft in the hood area then from the neck down to the belly it diminishes then in the leg area it is OK again and the foot area is very good.
This being my first down bag I'm not sure what's what but do realise this is the lightest bag with the least fill but something just does not seem right. I have tried to re-distribute down around the baffles but there doesn't seem to be much there to begin with?
I weighed my bag with it compressed into the light weight stuff bag and got 769 grams which would be about right as the spec states 750 gram bag weight plus the stuff sack so wonder if I'm being too critical?
Have not contacted Alpkit yet as I wanted some advice from users here first who may have had similar concerns.
Thanks,
Steve.
