Top quality light weight bag. Closest model now showing on the www.phdesigns.co.uk is the Minim 400.

Differences between the 400 and my bag are: My bag has a short 55cm zip on the LHS. My bag has a Drishell outer. Drishell has mild water resistance aimed at keeping out condensation etc. My bag has 50gm less down. My bag has 900fp down.

Sizing is PHD "standard" to suit users between 168cm and 183cm tall and chest between 93cm and 107cm.

PHDs rating for the 400 is -5c. I think their rating for the 350 was around 0c, maybe a whisker lower. I think it would go close to 0c for me if I was wearing clothing. I am skinny and getting older, and the bag would not go to 0c FOR ME in my usually jocks and light thermal top. Total loft on a flat surface is 140cm at the shoulders and 125 around the hips/knees

This bag weighs 688gm. Blue top. Black bottom and inside.

Used for only two nights, with a silk liner, and indistinguishable from new in every way. PHD mesh and stuff bags, Always stored in mesh bag.

$465 including postage.

I thought the original asking price was fair.
It is a good buy when warmth for weight is the main criteria
Drishell and 0.9Robic are functional equals and I can vouch for the efficacy of UL Robic as a shell fabric, both fabrics are windproof but still breathable.
Far too skinny for my new improved body shape and 117cm chest.
