Bought a PD600 a few weeks ago. Now it’s been tested at 3000m in the alps. It was great. Just used a silk liner and wearing thin base layer, and I was very warm and comfy, Never needed the zip fully pulled up, and temps were well below freezing. It’s a long way off I know, but this bag is going to Everest next spring. It will be used from Camp1 (7000m) upwards, as a duvet over my down suit. I’ll let you know how it performs there.

very good bag just what I needed its nice and warm even though I have never fully tested it to -12. Just for a couple of weekends camping in north Wales over the winter. Down side is it maybe be too warm for what I brought it for but that my mistake and I have woken up dripping and now my bag smells of cheesy feet although it doesn’t bother me just my climbing partner. Maybe you guys could come up with a sleeping bag liner so the bag doesn’t not smell and just the liner could be washed.
Thanks and keep up the good work

bought a 400 back at easter broke it in on a DoE practice weekend last month in the cheviots; the first things i noticed were it’s very warm, very light and packs very small. i have subsequently used it for 13 nights out of the last fortnight (with my wee airic also very good) and i have been kept warm and comfy. i fit in comfortably and am 6ft2in so its fine us taller types. the pertex quantum is very soft on the skin just right after a hard days work. security pocket inside is a good feature so good i only just noticed it myself!! baffle blocks the draught from the full length zip perfectly and the anti snag strip works well. washing instructions on interior are also a good idea. in short i have yet to find fault especially not at that price. ‘mon the ‘kit!!

bought the pd400 yesterday arrived today! zoooom!

this bag is quality but then I know that as I already have a AD500. Just wanted something lighter for the minimalist trips. thanks agqain boys, top notch

Looking for a down sleeping bag comfort level
0 celsus. Less than 700g in weight.
Hope the boys at Alp kit can supply for
next summer.

Ordered a P/D 400, last week & it arrived over the w/end.
Haven’t had the chance to use it properly yet, but I’m glad i waited & bought one of these, instead of a buying another make, somewhere else - Only problem so far is getting it back into it’s stuff bag, as it’s so damn fluffy, it seems to have a mind of it’s own!

definitely worth waiting for.

follow up to my post on the 19th, tried out the PD400 bag on the weekend at -2Celcius and it was warm as toast inside

great product, thanks guys

Just got my mucky paws on a 600 this morning. My first impressions are really good, build quality is great! Crawled into it in the living room and had to crawl straight back out it was so warm!! doubt I’ll get to try it in the field untill mid november now though :-( hope its a cold winter

Any plans for longer and shorter PD400 ?
I’m 6’ 3” so the existing model probably too tight. Other half is 5’ 6” so a shorter one would be good.
& did I read somewhere on the site you are planning even ligher models next year?
Can you give an approx date?  Ready for the OMM maybe?

Hi Peter
At 6’3” it will be to tight for you, at some point we will get round to doing them in shorter and longer length but at the moment we havent got a time scale. Factories hate making them as it counts a different product line.

Lighter models - yes we have 250 model with a simpler hood design in the works.

OMM havent we just missed that, or do you mean for next year.
