Alpkit - PipeDream 200

Alpkit down sleeping bag. Best bet for down bags, used mine 3 years and has been perfect

I have the Pipedream 200 and recommend you get a warmer bag for greater flexibility. I don't tend to use it if its forecast to dip below 10 degrees, and get far more use out of my 400g fill bag. They are worth the extra cost.

Crazily I bought my Alpkit Pipedream 200 for £109 2 years ago (with a £10 discount and it might have been on sale)... and the current sale price for it is £189. I do like it as a summer bag. I've also got a cheap ali express down quilt, which packs even smaller. I don't get much use out of it though as I'm not a massive fan on quilts and it is often a bit cold for it.

I’ve got a pipe dream. Don’t remember which. VERY snug fit, not that warm and feels cheap. Replaced with a Rab I found in a sale.

Certainly not a racing snake anymore! 6’1” and big, not especially fat but broad. I found it was definitely snug.

I really like my Pipedream. If you’re a sturdier bloke you may find it too tight though. Saw a comment saying that they are made for people with the build of a “racing snake” once, and if you’re tall that is accurate.

I'll just mention that my snugpak 'winter' bag is rated to -10C, but there's no way I'd use it in those temperatures. Take the rating with a pinch of salt. My Alpkit down bag (-7C comfort rating) is way warmer than the Snugpak. I don't know about the arctic bag, I have the modular system. And yes, get a decent mat.
