MOONSTONE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL II 800 LONG LEFT 10F RATED DOWN SLEEPING BAG EUC I bought this bag about 15 years ago, and have slept in it maybe 5-10 nights. My problem was that I didnt have enough time off work to spend it out backpacking. This bag has 24 ounces of 800 fill power down, contained in an outer shell made of Pertex Endurance, which was a waterproof/breathable shell fabric for sleeping bags. The shell is substantial and durable. The baffling in Moonstone bags is trapezoidal, and if you look at the pics, you can see that the baffles appear to alternate between long and short. If you open the bag and look at the inside, you can see that those baffles alternate short and long. In other words, a baffle that is long on top is short on the bottom. The objective was to minimize the possibility for cold spots. The baffle spacing is pretty tight, averaging less than 5 inches. You can see that there are 16 sections below the hood, whereas most sleeping bags now have 13-14 sections for a similar length sleeping bag. The hood is roomy, form fitting and very comfortable. I always wear a hat and I like to have a small pillow inside the hood, and this hood was perfect for me. The loft is about 6 inches, as you can see by looking at the bottle of water. The bag has a really plush draft collar at the neck and has an additional collar at the hips. The internal dimensions are about 65/61/42 for shoulders/hips/feet, which allows a lot of room for either a big person or a less big person wearing a lot of clothes. Without the insert, I slept comfortably in this bag down to about 10F. With the insert, I slept comfortably down to -10F. Im a skinny old guy now, and the bag is too roomy for me, so I want to sell it. This bag would be great for a person up to probably 250 pounds, or a smaller person who would like to be able to put extra clothing and perhaps a quilt inside the bag. The bag is a long, and my 511, 175 pound frame had a lot of length to spare, and although I think the bag would be suitable up to about 66, Id be careful, and suggest a maximum height of 64 to be safe, unless a person has personal experience with Moonstone bags. The listed finished size on the tag refers to the internal dimensions of the bag. The bag has been stored in the storage sack, in a clean spare bedroom. No pets, no vermin, no stains, rips, tears, damaged seams or odors. So the specs are: Pertex waterproof/breathable shell Locking full length zipper 24 ounces of 800 FP goose down 63/60/42 girth at shoulders/hips/feet Two draft collars, one at the neck and one at the hips Full draft tube behind the zipper, with tape to prevent zipper snags Trapezoidal baffles Modern hood with double drawcord. Roomy trapezoidal foot box Total weight is 3 pounds, 1 ounce on my digital scale. Includes original Moonstone stuff sack and aftermarket cotton storage sack.
