This bag is a few years old, used on a couple dozen short outings, plus a couple of 3-4 week AT sections (spring and fall in the north). This bag appears to be in perfect condition, no tears/marks/blemishes. It appears to have all its loft. I never can remember my "left vs. right" definitions on zippers, but the pics should tell you. This is a regular, 6' length. I'm 6'1" and it has always been fine for myself.

I'm selling this fine bag because I've recently gone with using a hybrid quilt that is essentially the same temperature rating, so this bag is now redundant in my gear room. The bag weighs right at 2 pounds even not including a stuff sack. The WM site claims 1-lb, 15oz. Either they are optimistic or this bag has an extra ounce of down...

WM bags are just plain fantastic bags. My wife and I own four of them. Check out westernmountaineering.com for specs, or a link such as this one for this particular bag:

They rarely go on sale. sometimes bentgate.com has them on sale.

$425, shipped to the 48 states, including original sack. Only thing is, I've never bought or sold an item of significant value on a forum, so if anyone is interested, not sure how to proceed with a safe purchase. I do have a paypal account.

PM me if interested, or with questions.

This is a sweet bag that keeps me warm well into the teens. If I didn't already own one myself I would be all over this. Good luck with the sale. Free Bump.

My sentiments exactly. I own this bag in Long length and an Antelope Regular length. The best sleeping bags. Period.
Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the good words guys...

One quick bump-try, lower asking price to $400, shipped (48), then off to Ebay and Craigslist.

A year ago I would have been all over this bag. I bought mine the end of march last year.
At 25° F the zipper was only half closed.

Wayne's right. I have this same bag in a long. Bought it used, previous owner had it for 2 weeks. Took it out first in 30 degrees, then in a 20 degree overnighter. Needless to say, in 30 degrees I was toasty in shorts & a t-shirt; in 20 degress in baselayers the zipper was halfway down. This joker is W-A-R-M! To think I was actually contemplating getting the 10 degree version...Excellent, excellent bag. Any cold sleepers or folks who want to get an extra 2-3 months of hiking in should definitely look into this bag.
