Active Traveller review the Pipedream 400 down sleeping bag

By Alpkit Accounts 30 Jul 2020

The Pipedream 400 sleeping bag offers featherlight warmth, letting adventurers rest easy in cooler climates with its down insulation and compact, packable design.

"The PipeDream 400 is a solid three season sleeping bag at a truly excellent price. Have a quick Google and you're unlikely to find many other sleeping bags offering this combination of weight and performance at this price, making it one of the best value sleeping bags for bikepacking and wild camping out there"
