Have any of you experience of a Company called PHD (Peter Hutchinson Designs)? Im pondering getting a new sleeping bag (a Minim 400) and they offer a sort of bespoke service in that you can have one of their bags adapted to your own requirements, i.e. have it made with a central zip, or double zip and have internal pockets added, choose colour etc.
I was initially thinking of a central zip, but after speaking to someone in a respected independent outdoor shop, who does a lot of camping in mountainous environments, I was advised that this is the most thermally inefficient zipping placement on a sleeping bag. I am now veering towards the double zip option as on the military Nanok bags.
Id be glad to hear of any of your opinions of this bag/experience with this company, and views on zip placement.
Thanks
