Alpkit - PipeDream 600

I have a pipedream 600 in long which I bought 2nd hand. It’s a good bag with good warmth to weight and packs down small enough in a dry sack with the air squished out. I’ve used it down to below minus 10 Celsius paired with a thermarest xtherm in a 4 season tent and was cold. Full merino base layers, hat, gloves, dry merino socks and down jacket on and still cold. Your mileage may vary but I would consider its temp rating very optimistic and would use a liner and layers extensively anything below minus 5

I have this bag. Got it in 2021 for around 250. Not sure what it sits at normally in 2025 though. But may give you a rough idea as most things will have went up since then.

I've got the pipedream 600 & I've been very satisfied with it. I'm frequently camping in the Cairngorms with it and I've had it down to -10, with no issues. It's a great bag for the price and I've been incredibly impressed with it. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Seconded, I've had my 600 now for about 6-8 months & it's fantastic. I've had it out in every weather & it hasn't disappointed me once.

I got it down to -5°c and I was still toasty, could easily have done another 5°. I had base layers on and I wouldn't say I'm a particularly warm sleeper. I'm a bit surprised you were still cold but some people just run a bit colder, what was the weather like (besides cold obvs ahaha)? Edit* Was it the 400 or 600 you had?

Alpkit Pipedream 400 (or 600 for a solid 4 season). And they are on sale right now!

I'm currently in my tent in Wales on a blustery, wet night in a pipedream 600. And I'm very much toasty warm.

Hi,if you can afford the pipe dream 600 then go for it,I have it and it wasn’t too warm for me at 0 degrees but then if you want to go colder it will be capable.i like to spend big on a cold weather bag and cheap to mid on a bag for rest of the year.i have a cheap Oex(£50)4 season synthetic bag that gets me all the way down to 5 degree comfortably and I don’t have to worry about it getting wrecked and it only weighs just over a kilo.

Is this a last minute buy?bad idea in my opinion.IF you can wait and afford a little more money you would be better off waiting for an alpkit sale,I got the pipedream 600 for £208 down from £349.you just can’t rely on Oex in my experience

I got mine for that in a sale about 18 months ago,I will quickly check my emails to make sure if that but I remember jumping on it at the time and I couldn’t even afford it lol

I've got a pipedream 600, had it for probably around 7 years and it's a really comfy, warm but lightweight bag. In fact I've just washed and tumble dried it and it's come out looking brand new. I think for the price of their bags compared to other brands they're definitely worth it. I certainly haven't had any problems with it and was probably one of the best purchases I've made for my kit.

you get what you pay for with sleeping bags really. two good options would be the rab ascent 700 or the alpkit pipedream 600. both decent bags, especially if combined with a liner. they're not exactly cheap, but pack down well and are lightish.

Pipedream 600 user here. Very happy with it. Used at -6C and was toasty warm in just a base layer. Packs down nice and compact too. Haven’t had any problems with down migration. I keep it stored it it’s larger bag when not in use.

I have the 600 and am very pleased with it. I take it out in all temperatures and use in my hammock and bivvy without issue. Packs down relatively small and haven’t felt cold in it at -8C wearing a base layer. If you can stretch the budget to go for it I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Great bag. Love mine.

I have the artic sleeping bag and it is fa-hook-ing massive mate. It takes up far too much space in my bag and was the main reason I bought a better more compact bag. I went with the Pipedream 600 and have zero complaints.
