PipeDream Reviews

I Bought my PD 800 at the Birmingham Ordnance Survey Outdoor Show in Spring 09 and not looked back. Great piece of kit that in the hotter weather can just be used a a duvet rather than a full blown Bag.
Watch out for the occasional bit of Down trying to escape, but most Down Bags do that.
Looking at getting the Fillet or Filo now, hoping they are the same good quality.

Cheers Guys, Great Job!

Looking at buying new down bag and PD600 looks good.  However, am 6’2” and max height specified is 6’1”.  Is this 1” going to make a difference or will bag be a bit on the small size?

I’ve just returned from a 2 week cycling trip from Lands End to John O’ Groats with the bulk of my sleeping arrangement relying on alpkit products, the central part being a pipedream 400.

Well what can I say, the bag was more than warm and most nights was little more than a blanket to keep away the cold. However when the temperature did drop it provided ample warmth and functioned brilliantly alongside my hunka bivvy bag.

This was my first ‘proper’ sleeping bag and first venture into the world of goose down, but I’m now a complete convert.

hi, just read the review in the country walking mag. think i probably want the pd600 but im female 5ft4” and rather well padded if you know what i mean, i still sleep on the cold side though. would i be better with a short bag or stick with the standard bag that has a little more width to it? thanks jo

Is the PipeDream 200 likely to be available again? (i.e. the one which is filled only up to the waist) I’d like to buy one some day for my husband to use on Scottish summer walking trips in conjunction with his Filo jacket.

PipeDream400 just arrived - well impressed with the look of it - you didn’t say how beautifully shiney it is!
Oh, and you are having a jest with the iddy, biddy stuff sack aren’t you? No, really…

Just returned from Nepal and used the bag (pd800) down to temperatures below -16 indoors!
All I can say is that while others were cold I was toasty day after day. Pack size is fantastic and build quality superb. Another great alpkit product

Hi guys,

Very interested in getting one of these (probably the PD800) once they are available again. Anyone knows when?

Also - I’m about 1m85 = 6ft1, which is the max recommended user height. The bag won’t be/feel to short for that height yet, right?

Following from my post dated 17th September, I’ve returned from wild camping in the outer hebrides. I chose the PD800 as I am a girl who feels the cold more than most. It is boiling! I woke the first night in a state as I had overheated! Had to leave bag open! Night temps were very mild i admit but for girls who struggle with cold, this is the bag for you!

Just a quick line.  I used my pipedream 400 in the Brenta Dolomites about 4 weeks ago inside a goretex bivvi.  I woke in the morning thinking that I wasn’t as warm as usual; not cold you understand, just not as warm as usual.  It was when I couldn’t pour water into my pan for a morning brew that I realised that it had gone down to -4 in the night and the whole area was snow covered.  I’ve used the bag many times previously but that left me impressed!
