yes - OMM next year. Found the old ME Annapurna (1.35kg !) jsut a little too much for my old knees to carry this year - and too warm. 

Will the 250 model be “long”?

BTW - used Wee Airic on OMM, much appreciated!

At a mere 5’6” I need a shorter pipe dream 400 sleeping bag. Can you supply?

Love it. Can’t say much more really. Proof that sometimes less is more.

This is a £250-300 sleeping bag without the marketing, shop and sales staff. High quality and superb customer care.

Hi I was looking at the specifications for all the sleeping bags available here. and i am a little confused about the comfort ratings on the bags. for eg. you say a bag has a comfort rating of -3 degrees celcius but it doesnt tell me what is the extreme temperature for that bag? I am specifically interested in the pipedream 400 and 600 and those of the skyhigh range as well. I am looking to camp in temperatures of -5 degrees celcius (so does this mean the pipedream 400 is not sufficient??????) thanks

Hi Mildrid, I think I just replied in full to your email, but in summary my gut feeling is that you would be better going for the PD600 but I know nothing of your experience. Hopefully the email explains why in more detail. Feel free to contact support if you have more questions.

My Pipedream 400 kept me very warm when camping in Scotland’s cold valleys in May and October, and I sleep very cold.  We also experienced torrential rain for four consecutive days in which the outer shell of the bag got wet but dried out quickly, I didn’t notice it in my sleep.  Also, for larger people the bag is very comfy, more roomy than it looks on the photo.  A very good investment and a lovely night’s sleep.

Hi,
Could you please advise me on the best bag for my needs.  I am due to sleep in a Celtic Roundhouse for a weekend in February in Scotland and also am planning an April/May long distance path-probably in Scotland again.  I was thinking Pipedream but not sure whether to go for 400 or 600 (I do feel the cold)

I ordered the Pipedream 600 yesterday afternoon, and it arrived today less than 15 hours later!!!
It feels like a quality product and I am now hoping it snows in Wales for an outing at the end of the month!
Thanks guys

  • Storage - Each PipeDream bag comes with 3 stuff bags; a 4-way compression bag, lightweight stuff bag and a cotton storage bag.
  • Quality Components - All of component parts of the PipeDream are of the highest quality, YKK zips, Duraflex buckles and accessories.
  • 750 Fill Power Down - We use 95/5 750+ (European scale) fill power Chinese white goose down, the highest quality down available in China suitable for the purpose.
  • Lightweight Shell - The fabric used on the PipeDream is made by Toray, one of the largest and most respected mills in Japan. It weights a measly 29gm/m2 yet the weave is down proof. We have not used a cheaper polyester fabric for the lining of the bag, the same lightweight nylon continues throughout the construction of the bag.
