My PHD Minim 400 is the long version.

It is in red Drishell and has a full length right side zip.

It weighs in a just over 900 grms.

It's in very good condition.

To buy this configuration new would cost £376.92 + postage.

I'm selling it for £240 which includes post and packaging.

PHD material is as we all know the absolute D*ggs B*ll*cks.

I still have a custom bag that Peter made me way in in '99 before the world was young. And I've a Minimus that is as new after eight years of a hard station. Together with assorted custom jackets.

Why you're selling this is entirely your own concern - but I'd urge any of The Challenged out their to snap up this bargain. Seriously well-engineered British kit!

Gordon, hope to meet with you again in May if we should be so lucky! Planning to be in Ballater on the Sunday night - rest of my root takes a southerly and relatively anti-social aspect.

Let the Wild Party begin, oh yea ...

Thank you for your good words on PHD gear, Humphrey. It is indeed the Dogs .....

I too love PHD gear.

The reason for sale is simple: The Minim 400 has had relatively little use as I prefer to use my PHD Minim 300 with extra down clothing - which works for me even in temperatures well below freezing.

Fingers crossed for a successful draw. I've been looking at a few start points and will focus my attention on "where from?" if I get lucky in the draw.

This May the weather will be.
