3 season lite sleeping bag suggestions wanted
Howdy. I am looking at the WM Mitylite. Anyone used one of these? This would be for 3 season SE backpacking. Any other suggestions welcome too.

Sure
I have the Megalite and have been very happy with it. Good construction, lightweight, and packs small. What else could you want? (of course, under $100.00 would be nice but not for this level of quality)

Cool!
What I really want is for it to pack small and still keep me warm...
my bag now is a LLBean Polarguard 3d 20 deg. bag and it's great except that it's huge - even with a compression sack.
I'd like to keep it for car camping and get something I can fit in my backpack, which is a Gregory Reality.

Re: 3 season lite sleeping bag suggestions wanted
Western Mountaineering seems to own the market right now, and they make great bags. Depending on where you live, you may want to consider a synthetic bag instead. In a potentially wet area (southeast, etc), a Polarguard Delta may serve you better.
North Face makes a couple of 3-season bags with Delta fill - the Cat's Meow under 3 lbs and a 40 degree bag at about 1 lb. Mountain Hardware makes a couple of 3D bags that are nice, but I would go with Delta for a synthetic.
hope this helps

I love my TNF Blue Kazoo, good Pertex shell lasts forever
The older models didn't have side baffles, which could be a problem, but the newer ones do. I got mine for $160 Online (can't remember the store right now...)

I highly recomend one of MontBell's Ultra Light Super Stretch Bags! I've got the #4 and its perfect for 3 season use in CO & UT. The stretch design is cool and seams to trap heated air within the bag. I highly recomend MontBells sleeping bags.
