Bit of a classic one. Bought off here from the lovely Mr Weston. Need the dosh to pay for my beautiful carbon frame.
£110 delivered.
I'd say it's about 7 years old. Still fluffy enough. I did notice a tiny section of threading that needed sewing but its obviously not lost any down as I've not seen any hanging about.
Last washed and dried with some down-wash by Rangers, about a month ago and been used once or twice indoors since then. Thing of loveliness it is and pics can be posted up if any interest...
edit: after speaking with Rich it appears its most likely a minim 350 or 300... sorry I might have called it a minim400 below

Hi,
I am interested. Do you know what model? Also some pics, especially of the stitching issue would be great.
Cheers

Just checked my buying history. It's a PHD400 from Bumpy Jonas on here. Pics below...
edit: word in from one of the hardened bikepackers on here that its more likely a 350 or lower due the overall weight being so low. Just sharing for clarity purposes

Weight= 526g (without the stuff sack) [edited]
Says minimus on the bottom end so I'm gonna assume its a Minimus400 (I can only find reference of me calling it a 400 when I bought it).
The stitching thing seems to have been sorted. Can't remember but must've been me or the missus. Looks to be a scruffy stitch so must've been myself.
Such a shame to be having to let go of it but needs must.
If being really picky I'd say the tensioning rope around the head opening could probably do with a renewal. Works fine but I'd planned to upgrade it to a bungee cord and reuse the 'tab thingy'...

Oh no... sorry sir. I've been contemplating it for a few days but thought I may be able to raise the money through other avenues. Obviously not

Hi guys I sold the bag to Shaf. It's a PHD400 minimus with a 900 fill it says so on the bag The model has changed since I bought it can't remember the age probably about 8 years. I bought it new It's virtually unused always stored loose indoors. This is brilliant bit of kit and a bargain. Cheers Peter
