Here's what other sites are saying:

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"This bag is wide, warm, and packed with features. With a 3-dimensional full down collar, a full-length YKK zipper, and 5" of loft, the Western Mountaineering Alpinlite has quickly become one of Western's most popular models. The award winning Ultralite has been a favorite among lightweight backpackers for more than a decade. The Alpinlite is just a wide version of that great bag. There are many 20° down mummy bags on the market, but none have the width, warmth, or loft of this bag. Western Mountaineering Alpinlite Features: Full Down Collar 5" Loft, 20° F 5 1/4" Spacing/Continuous Baffles 19 oz. Down Fill 64"/39" Shoulder/Foot Girth Full-length #5 YKK Zipper 1 lb. 15 oz. Total Weight Size Shape Rating Loft Fill Inside Girth (shoulder/ hip/foot) Fill Weight Total Weight 5'6" Mummy (w/ full collar) 20 o 5" 850+ Goose Down 63"/56"/39" 16 oz. 1 lb. 13 oz. 6'0" Mummy (w/ full collar) 20 o 5" 850+ Goose Down 64"/55"/39" 18 oz. 1 lb. 15 oz. 6'6" Mummy (w/ full collar) 20 o 5" 850+ Goose Down 65"/56"/39" 20 oz. 2 lb. 1 oz."

From Backcountry.com:
"The people at Western Mountaineering made the lightweight, roomy Alpinlite Super 20 Degree Sleeping Bag because they understand that not everyone who packs an ultralight sleeping bag wants it to be confined at night. Its 64 inch shoulder girth gives you the room to sleep comfortably while the 850+ fill down insulation keeps you toasty all night. At less than two pounds, the Alpinlite Super Sleeping Bag won't weight down your pack, so you can travel light and sleep well."

"This bag is not what it is said to be with warmth. I got stuck in a storm on the AT and it did not perform to its temperature rating. The weather got down to about 26. I had to wear my Arc'teryx Venta SV and my ALPHA LT pants to stay warm.

After the storm I got into 35 to 45 degree weather, it worked awesome."

"This bag is superb! I am a very restless sleeper, tossing and turning all night long. My previous bag did not allow me to turn without a major ordeal (I bought it according to standard recommendations for my size). I'm female, 5'1", 125 pounds, and get nightsweats from menopause."
