"I used it camping at on a glacier and at 3000m. The conditions were cold and the bag performed with absolutely faultless results."

The Diamir down sleeping bags raise the sophisticated Baltoro shell design to a new level by the use of PHD's exceptional 800 down and inner Drishell panels at head and foot. The Diamir represents the new bench mark for sleeping bag standards.

†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.

‡Please note: the optional HS2 outer is a complete extra outer shell, with seams taped for weatherproofness. The extra layer of fabric adds considerably to the weight and bulk of the basic bag (around 180gm - 6oz). It increases the weatherproof qualities of the bag in mountain or arctic situations, but it is not a substitute for a proper bivvy bag when sleeping out in the rain.

"Just a quick note to say thanks for the advice and commend you on the excellent Diamir 500. I used it in the US for camping at on a glacier and at heights to 3000m on a snowfield. The conditions were cold with a lot of condensation and the bag performed with absolutely faultless results. I was one of the only members of the party not grumbling about being cold and damp and having to return to a soggy bag at night. I'm now confidant in taking my bag to Ama Dablam next year. I have also recommended the bag to several climbing colleagues. Many Thanks" D.K.

"Back safe and sound from St Kilda where I made a new best friend, my Diamir 500! At the end of a long day, warm or cold, the Diamir was always perfect. Thank you for your excellent service, and the excellent products." Howard Bradfield

"I have been very impressed so far . . . I've found Diamir [500] very warm for its weight and very comfortable . . . I reckon the premium quality down really does make a difference. I also like fact the it is a simple design to (no sharks toe nonsense), but PHD haven't skimped on good zip and shoulder baffles in order to save weight. It is not a cheap bag, but I think it is worth every penny. I have slept better in a Diamir than in any of my previous sleeping bags, and you can't say fairer than that."
