"The bag has been wonderful and has performed exactly how we would like it to. It has been used on plenty of winter wild camps in mainly the Lake District. When camping in our van, condensation can be a bit of an issue but your bag seems to resist it quite well and keep its loft. It has performed excellently, we can't think of any way to improve it. This bag is the perfect choice for use backpacking at the base of winter climbing routes in the UK."

"I thought I would let you know how pleased I am with the bag. I took it on a 5 month bicycle tour from Canada down to Mexico. Camping around 80% of the time. In fact we are going away for another year, starting April, again the bag will be going along."

"The PHD Advanced Base Camp has kept me comfortably warm in the Scottish winter weather right down to the -15°C rating. Warmth to weight ratio is unrivalled at just over 1kg, it packs to a reasonably small size and lofts superbly once released from its stuff sack. Previous bags I owned have suffered from dampness around the hood and neck area due to condensation from my breath in cold conditions. However, the Drishell fabric certainly prevents the down from becoming damp and dries off quickly once wiped with a microfiber cloth before packing. This is extremely important on a multi day trip. The Drishell fabric has proved to be both versatile and durable. I love the simple but effective design of the bag and the half zip really prevents any drafts or cold spots around the zip area. I often sit in the bag on cold wild camp nights out with my Alpine Ultra jacket on and am often the envy of my cold companions."

"I've used it for regular hiking-type camping in Scotland (often out West, Torridon way) usually in the colder months though it's also been used in the depths of winter. Overall, I regard the bag as a really good piece of gear, worth the price-tag and is a good balance for me in terms of weight (& compressibility) vs warmth. It's a good fit too. I got the long version and it's just right - I'm about medium build and about 6 foot 2 inches."

"Construction and quality is fantastic, compresses down amazingly small"

"How wonderful is it! Lovely and roomy over just light clothing but fits well over a lightweight sleeping bag or mid-weight down jacket as well. A true work of art. I have no doubt though that this will do for any conditions that I can get myself to. And it packs down neatly enough to fit in the bottom of a Crux AK47-X rucksack, perfect for those day trips that morph into 2-day trips."
