Absolutely lovely custom built (for the original owner whom I bought off from here) PHD 300 custom bag.
Original ad from Ian stated: rated to -2; 900fp down; has neck baffle which makes a good difference to warmth (I concur); black MX fabric inside and out
Has indeed gotten me through some cold nights (maybe I'd not try it quite as far as -2 without having some extra extra layers... but I am a cold sleeper and in previous years have wondered if I've got Raynauds or sinilar cos of cold peripheries/fingers n toes) and will miss it. Sometimes I do get a cold spot but this is just where the bags is squished against the bivy bag... Maybe its just ever so slightly tight for me and my belly afterall - its not too big and I'm 5ft11 with 85kg for reference.
Measured on my scales at 585g of lovely loftiness. Just washed the other week in my Miele (sorry couldn't help myself) and then thrown in the laundrettes large dryer (twice cos first day I forgot my erm balls
)....Does show signs of use but no holes or rips. The signs (sigb actually) is that theres a few grams of down that have gone AWOL over the years and (to me it seems) theres a thread missing on one of the sides. This doesn't seem to affect the down spreadiness and baffle -if thats what its called - seems to be handling holding onto the down well... Must be the ibternals of the clever desgins! (Paul Hutchinsons)...
Sorry bout the long blurb... £155. 98 and a half pence
Erm.... Thats it. Thanks for looking. Any snidy comments
just say.The Lowe Alpine jacket... Its proper squishy and proper waterproof with some sort of light goretex of yesteryear. Does grt a little boily in the bag when working hard. Latest damage is to the elbow (my elbow still hurts) from an off. Bout 4mm. Will include some seam tape which taker can repair/patch it up with (will include some extra seam tape so taker can sort out any other loose/knackered seams). Probably could do with a proper hot(ish) wash with some nikwax stuff and then a proper laundry dry to see if some of the extra layers of nikwax I've ironed in over the years can be stripped back a little...
Price= just send some money to the Feed Bear after you've recieved/used
