I have finally decided to part with my beloved Feathered Friends Widgeon sleeping bag. Sadly, an injury has left me with chronic back pain, so I’m not doing winter trips anymore. I haven’t used it in several years. This is actually my second Widgeon, I loved it so. A real go-anywhere, do-anything bag, it was designed as a single bag solution to take climbers from the airport, to the top of K2. Regular length, fits up to 6′ tall individuals. I had that done in an effort to get longer life out of the down. Continuous baffles allow the down to be shifted from under, to over your body, and vise-versa to match conditions. Luxuriously soft nylon lining – you won’t be disapointed! Webbing along the zipper make for snag free entry and exit. Draft tube (along the zipper). Removable collar for those warm nights at lower elevations. Trapezoidal baffles resist collapsing, and maintain loft better than simple parallelograms. 3-D engineered hood, which is also gore-tex lined to protect the down from moisture in your breath. Several snaps and 2 drawstrings around the face and neck effectively eliminate gaps and drafts. Finest Quality 900 fill power down. Bag is in excellent condition. There are a couple of small soil spots (see photos). Freshly washed, I have used a liner to avoid washing it because doing so reduces the lifespan of the down. I have either had Feathered Friends launder the bag, or I’ve done it myself, using Feathered Friends brand soap, and following their instructions carefully. I don’t think they offer a Gore-Tex option anymore, and I think they’ve eliminated the trapezoidal baffles – Probably because its’ too expensive to make. Yes, the bag is Gore-Tex. No, it is NOT a waterproof bag. No, the seams are not sealed. Excellent customer care from Feathered Friends, should you ever need repairs etc. 1652 grams 3.64 lbs. 8 – 9 inches of loft. Likely 10 – 12 years old. Washed maybe 4 – 5 times. Stuff sack not included sorry, lost it somewhere… The item “Feathered Friends Widgeon Winter Down Sleeping Bag Gore-Tex +2oz. Reg.
