I bought a long Skyehigh 800 yesterday - it turned up at 9.30 am the following morning and looks fantastic. Will be testing it out in Roybridge this weekend, so will let you know how it performs!

Excellent customer service!

Thanks.

Going to Scotland camping in March. I am a little
concerned that my -9c will not be warm enough.
What do your short length sleeping bag weigh?

I purchased my PD600 sleeping bag via phone in the afternoon and got it in the morning next day! Feels very warm, looks very nice all puffed up and on the other hand very small when packed. can’t wait to take it on my treks to Nepal.

I bought a Pipedream 600 just before Christmas and took it to Scotland at the start of January. Worked amazingly in some bad conditions on Ben Nevis. My friend had a £200 new macpac but there was barely a difference - the only being the larger hole in his pocket!
Thank you Alpkit!

Hi,
I’ve been itching to get my hands on an affordable lightweight down sleeping bag for some time now and really fancy giving the Pipedream ago, only problem is I’m 6’3” and will need an extra long model, any ideas as to whether this is likely to happen in the near future ? Thanks

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

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)

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 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.
