***Sleeping Bag Blowout: Western Mountaineering, Zpacks, Brooks Range x2***

Hey BPL Buddies, you ever hear the phrase “you can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him?” Well, I’m having the exact opposite problem with these sleeping bags. They are stopping me because they can’t contain me. I went on a bit of a bag buying binge in search of the perfect bag (for me) and I came up empty.

NO PM'S PLEASE. Email jbclifegroups (at) aol (dot) com. All prices include shipping CONUS PayPal only and buyer pays %3 for fees. All bags have been stored uncompressed in a smoke free home.

Zpacks Sleeping bag long / wide 850DWR fill (MSRP $380 Bought it for $315 asking $300). This is a catch and release from Lawton “Disco” Grinter (see link below). Used on one overnight and is in in great condition.

***These next three bags are all brand new and never slept in***

Western Mountaineering Ultralight 6’ Left Zip (MSRP $485 Asking $415). This bag is brand new and totally awesome. It’s rated (conservatively) at 20* with 5” of total loft. It has 16oz of down fill in a 29oz total package. In short, this is the Rolls-Royce of down bags. It comes with stuff sack and storage bag (just as if you bought it straight from the factory).

Brooks Range Alpini 15 6’ Left Zip (MSRP $410 Asking $330). This bag is a Backpacker Mag editor’s choice winner last winter for good reason. It has a Pertex shell and 20oz of 850 Downtek down fill in a 32oz package. Awesome collar and cool little storage pocket inside (See stats below for more info). It comes with stuff sack and storage bag (just as if you bought it straight from the factory).

Brooks Range Alpini 30 6’ Left Zip (MSRP $340 Asking $270) This bag is the award winners little brother. 11oz of 850 Downtek down in a 23oz down bag. For a fully featured down sleeping bag, this is about as good as it gets (See stats below for more info). It comes with stuff sack and storage bag (just as if you bought it straight from the factory).
