Alpkit PipeDream 800 (-17oC)

[LM J]

The bag's only been used for 9 nights in the North Woods of Maine, USA. I combined it with a PipeDream 400 (my UK 3 Season Bag) and was very comfortable down our lowest night time temperature of -26oC (based on Alpkit's Comfort Rating for the two bags fill weight you should be good down to -31oC). My intention was always to sell on the bag on after the trip and I consider my losses of selling on the bag cheap at the price of a good nights sleep!

£110 postpaid

How muct to post without it being laundered? and how much did you buy it new for as they have it up for £160 and IMO £140 for a 2nd hand bag is a bit steep but I am interested if the price is right.

 

[LM J]

That's £140 for a bag that's only been used for 9 nights and then professionally cleaned - that is, it's going to perform as new. If you're interested, best to PM me.

Edit: Cost £160 new (currently out of stock)

 

[Leezo]

currently out of stock, yes, but you can get on the mailing list as they are getting them back in.

Yes, Alpkit estimate that they'll have more around June...

 

[Leezo]

I'm in no rush. I'm after a sleeping bag at a good price, if yours aint the one i'll get another. I have asked in my PM what the price of the bag would be unlaundered. Could you please tell me so I can consider my options, many thanks.

 

[LM J]

"Most important, what side is the zip on?"

And I responded to your question. If you were still interested in a left-handed zipper, why not PM me back and say so? I've sent you another PM.

 

[LM J]

If anyone's interested in the bag unlaundered, I'd take £120.

 

[Shepard]

Still have the Alpkit PD 800?

Final price drop before this goes on Fleebay. The £10 pays for Special Delivery. Save yourself fifty quid!

Have you still got the sleeping bag LM J?
