Feathered Friends Sleeping Bag

Long size, not the regular length, weight is 4.2 pounds, see at http://featheredfriends.com/sleeping-ba ... -bags.html. Color is similar to current FF amethyst fabric. Inside length from the foot of the bag: 79 inches (6 foot 7 inches) to where the top of the bag ends (under your chin if laying on back), and 88 inches to the top of the space at the top of your head (7 foot 4 inches). The loft varies from foot to middle to head; 12-inches at chest/head and at foot, and 10-inches in the middle. This bag belonged to my cousin, Jim Klasch, who passed away, so I don't know what model it is (not a climbing accident). I took the bag to the Feathered Friends store in Seattle, they said it is either -10 or -25, that it is like the Ptarmigan or Widgeon, but did not know which one it is. Bag is in very good shape. Asking $350, price of new Ptarmigan is about $700. This is my first post, I tried to add images but don't see them, so please see photos at http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/4284401642.html. Thank you!

FYI, I have a FF Widgeon and it is much lighter and less lofty than what you describe. It weighs 3 lbs 4oz. Of the two models you mentioned, I suspect yours is the warmer Ptarmigan. Good luck selling it. You may want to consider listing it for sale on CascadeClimbers.com or try Second Ascent in Ballard if you don't find a buyer. They buy used climbing gear.
