PipeDream Reviews

Just got my PD600 today - looks and feels amazing for the money.  Looking forward to trying it out sometime soon.  Thanks v much.

I have a PD600, I have used it at about 3000 feet in Wales in January where it was -15 and Dartmoor in December where it dropped to almost -10. Both times I was far warmer than my mate in his massively heavier and bulkier synthetic bag. In Wales I slept in my Filo down jacket to help the bag out (there was ice all over the sleeping bag outer by morning!) and in Dartmoor I slept in just base layers and a very thin fleece and I was warm enough on both occasions.
Excellent bit of kit for the price and weight - buy one now!

It turns out I was wrong! They do exist! Got the 2 I ordered today, and am impressed so far. Did a small test tonight out the back, -2 in the snow. Used a Karrimor closed cell mat, and got in in only my thermal longjohns and Alpkit Trekker socks.. Was toast except where the bag compressed at my bum (and all bags will do this), but nothing too bad. From bum down and from bum up was all warm, even my feet - which tend to cool down first.

Looking forward to testing this out properly, in colder weather, with decent mat.

I don’t believe these bags exist.. owning one is just a pipe dream….

I just book marked your blog on Digg and StumbleUpon.I enjoy reading your commentaries.

It was too windy for my tarp one night on the South West Coast Path clifftop, so I was in my Pipedream 400 and Hunka under the stars. I brushed ice from the Hunka in the morning but was warm inside. Terrific performance and value - as ever.

Have had my PD400 for a few months now and love it… compact and light in the stuff sack, huge storage bag for when it’s in the house.  Agree with Tom that it is good for taller chaps as well, 6’2” and get a good night’s sleep.  I sleep hot and have found this comfy (with a silk liner) everywhere from a snowy night in a bothy, camping on the peaks, used as a duvet at Glastonbury, freezing night on Dartmoor etc.

Overall - Great!  Good quality, good price, and good helpful service from people like Jim and Pete.

Bought the PD400 (amongst numerous other items from Alpkit) after months of faffing around on the net wondering what to get. Decided after all the good reviews to go for this, looked at a lot of North Face, M.E. etc but I am glad I opted for the Alpkit Bag. Used it last week in 0 dgrees with thermals just in case, was too hot and had to open bag, I do sleep warm though.  Overall I have to say this bag is just amazing value for money and does everything the more expensive bags do. Thank you Alpkit

Great Site. Was added to mybookmarks. Greetings From USA.

Bought this Bag along with a Hunka a couple of weeks ago, and all i can say is, that it is just LEGENDARY and EPIC!!! Well done Alpkit!!!, Went out for a Bivi right under Stob Binnein with an air temp. of -12C at night and slept just fine, with my baselayers on!
