Those of use who are old enough to remember when Rick White ran Mountain Designs may remember the original of this bag

To bring back an iconic name and a similar colour scheme and not even try and reproduce the original specifications seems a travesty
Does anybody remember the original Bright Blue and vivid white shell, hot cut fabric, double differential cut Oversized V-baffles, seriously large footbox for booted feet and a full three pounds of Polish down?
I do but back then I didn't need or even want a bag suitable for -40 being content with my old Redline

Was deSIGHS a Freudian slip ?

Can't complain about the specified weight MD. For only 750 g of fill,the gross weight is very retro

Tried to fix it but I couldn't But yes a shame to see what used to be a good company selling real gear go downhill so quickly

Yes I went into one of there stores a few months ago looking for a new top , couldn't find one without a hood absolutely everything in the store had a hood ! Not every one wants a hood , spoke to someone I knew that used to work for em and he agreed that's crazy .
