DMG 800 fill down sleeping bags priced and specs to good to be true? Anybody tried one?
Apr 21, 2021 at 6:09 pm #3709866I have not, and this is the first time I have heard of them. Unless I have googled upon some company other than that to which you refer, a couple of (obvious) observations…
- A facebook page consisting of 3 posts all made on Feb 14 of last year.
- A webpage that does not resolve, and appears to be a mispelling: dmgdirec.com
Personally, too many red flags.
Apr 21, 2021 at 8:30 pm #3709892Actually I discovered them on eBay and in my mind I’d feel very safe buying through eBay using PayPal when the seller offers 30 day returns. But the specs are hard to believe at the price. My guess is the 800 fill is more like 550 which would be more in line with total weight of fill and bag weight they are not particularly light
Apr 22, 2021 at 2:45 pm #3710043My opinion only – there are simply too many companies (cottage, small and large) making excellent, proven, well tested gear to take the risk on an unknown just to save a couple of bucks. For me, the potential hassle of dealing with an unsatisfactory product/deal/experience simply is not worth any “savings”.
