The PipeDream family is filled with light, lofty Responsible Down Standard (RDS) approved down. The RDS is a voluntary code of practice that was established in cooperation with animal welfare groups and the down industry. The down is PFC-free and DownTek™ hydrophobic for high performance in damp conditions.

They’re all made with a thermally efficient, tapered mummy shape. The PipeDream sleeping bags are all available in two lengths: regular (190cm) and long (210cm). You can choose between left-hand and right-hand zips.
