Free - Kimmlite Finch down vest XL (with small tear...)

Post by Retiredtester »

I have a Kimmlite Finch (that's the model, not the donor of the feathers) down vest in XL that has a small tear on one of the baffles. It didn't lose a lot of the down when I tore it and I 'repaired' it very badly with some gaffa tape. The tape has since come off and has left some residue, which I guess could be removed with some patience and an appropriate solvent.

It's very light and packs down small due to the excellent Polish down (800FP from memory). I'm 6ft and 14st with a 42 chest and it's a bit on the big side. Free for the cost of postage and maybe a small donation the way of the bear.

Photos on request.

Sorry for the delay. Pit to pit when zip done up and vest laid on floor is about 59cm. Any good to you hux? If not, it's all yours Mark. Guess postage will be about three quid.

Hi. Yes that sounds like it should be ok. If not I'll pass it on to Mark.
If you PM you details I'll send some postage money. Cheers. Hux

Nice one. Pm on its way. I should point out that I wrote the description without having taken the vest out of the loft and, now that I have, I can see two other small (3mm) holes in the pertex that will need fixing. The much bigger hole that I patched still has some clear tape on it, as well as the aforementioned tape residue, so that'll need removing before it's patched. If any of that puts you off, no worries and I'll pass it over to Mark.
