Looking to sell a premium down mummy bag, Brooks Range Drift 15, size Long. It just doesn't fit me well.

$300 TYD PayPal F&F or add 3%

This bag was a gift but mistakenly got the Long version. It's the nicest sleeping bag that I have ever owned so it took me a few uses for me to figure out that doesn't make up for it being the wrong size for me! It's been on the shelf for the last several years since I got a down quilt and would make a great bag for someone taller than me.

Size Long, up to 6'6"
22.5oz of DownTek hydrophobic 850+ fill-power down
15d nylon shell with DWR

3/4 length left-hand zipper
Full halo collar, top collar, and zip draft tube
InsoTect flow baffle system
Packs down to 7.5x12-inch stuff sack
MSRP $580


Roomy! Compare the girth measurements on this bag to the famous Western Mountaineering Badger. This bag is only a few inches smaller in the shoulder but actually roomier through the foot.

Generous temp rating. EN Comfort rating is ~20F and the limit is ~7F. Compare that to a lot of "20 degree" bags with a comfort rating closer to 32F. (Typo in table: It's 7 degrees Fahrenheit above zero for the limit rating.)

Brooks Range must not have had much luck breaking in to the sleeping bag market, because these are no longer being made. I don't know why, as I think this bag is very nice. This is a very warm 3-season bag that you can really push into the cold shoulder seasons.

Used a dozen nights, always with base layers. Stored uncompressed in a smoke-free home. Comes with nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag. This thing is basically good as new.

I could throw in an extra synthetic bag as well, a Marmot Trestles 20d, regular length. Simple heavy bag that I used years ago before I switched to down. Great for car camping or for a beginner who's willing to carry some extra weight.

I had a request for loft measurement. It looks to be about 6-7 inches when I zip it up and lay it flat. That includes bottom and top together.

The girth is also on the roomier side compared to some bags; 63" at the shoulder, 59" at the hip, and 42" at the foot.

The bag is in great shape and has seen very minimal use.

Let me know if I can provide any more info.

Please note the typo in the temp ratings on the shared pdf from BR. They messed up the conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The Limit rating should be+7F. As some folks have pointed out, there's usually about a 10 degree F change between the Comfort and the Limit rating.
