"There's an amazing amount of loft for such little fill . . . the weight and compressibility are impressive. Overall a cracking versatile bag" J.G.
The Piqolo is a strictly summer bag. Not the one to take if you expect it to freeze; though if you get caught out, you can always use the old trick of patting most of the down round to the top side and bumping up your ground insulation with whatever you can find.
It has the same simple design as the Minimus, box-wall construction and no zip, and it uses a similar prime quality fabric—M1 Microfibre. The excellent 700 down gives it summer capability down to 10C (50F).
- Box walls
- Stuff sac
- Oval footpiece
- Hood & drawcord
- Pack size: 13 x 21 cm (when stuff sac drawcord pulled tight).*
*Please note: we make our stuff sacs big enough to allow fairly easy stuffing rather than reducing the bag to the tightest minimum. What air is left in the packed item will easily be compressed out of it, if you are squashing it into a small space in your rucksack. Tiny stuff sacs look impressive: but unless you are a sac-wrestling fan, fighting the gear into them day after day can be an unnecessary chore.
"Many thanks for the prompt service. . . the Piqolo . . . sleeping bag. . . . was great for the Mourne Mountain Marathon." P.T.
"Having used the bag in . . . different conditions I've been really pleased with it. As a summer weight bag it's great, you're kept just at the right temperature. I've used it on nights when it's been 16C and never felt too hot in it. . . There's an amazing amount of loft for such little fill, the fabric is very comfy and it’s easy to get into and out of despite not having a zip. It really comes into it's own when backpacking, the weight and compressibility are impressive. The occasional feather sticks through the outer but these can be pulled back in without problem. . . Overall a cracking versatile bag for late spring to early autumn use, if used in conjunction with a bivi bag and liner." J.G.
