I picked this bag up at a REI garage sale with the intent of using it. I haven't and it doesn't look like I will for a while. So, with that being said, I am going to try to part with this baby. The bag had a tear in the outer shell when I got it that was patched. I have since added a bit of down and sewn it up. There is absolutely no difference, that I can see, in the loft in this channel. I sewed it up with the matching orange color because I am OC like that. I will post pictures of the repair tonight but I wanted to go ahead and post this up. Product link This is a great bag, and I wouldn't try to sell it if I felt the repair hurt its performance. If it doesn't sell, I will be harvesting the down to make a top quilt.
