From Massey's:
"Traditionally, all of the lightest weight bags are made with the extremely light ripstop nylons. We created our Caribou to be lightweight, durable, and comfortable by using MicroLite XP. This 1 lb. 4 oz. mummy bag has a full length zipper and is cut wider than average for broader shoulders and a more comfortable fit. With its highly breathable taffeta fabric, the Caribou is a durable lightweight summer bag and a great choice for AT hikers. 10" Sewn Thru Box, 3.5" Loft, 35Adeg F, 63"/40" Shoulder/Foot Girth, 10 oz.

From EMS:
"Lighweight, durable and comfortable, the Western Mountaineering Caribou sleeping bag fits broad shoulders and is a great choice for AT hikers. Sewn thru construction is simple, durable, and keeps down well distributed. 850 plus fill power is the highest quality goose down available for the best insulation available. Microlite XP; densely woven shell fabric resists moisture while not restricting breathability, ideal for down sleeping bags. DWR shell fabric treatment protects the down from spills and condensation. #5 YKK zippers slide with less resistance for years of trouble free use. Stiffening tape along the zippers ensure snag-free use. Two way zipper for ventilation options. Water resistant stuff sack with handle loop for use on the trail. Storage sack to keep you bag lofted when you get back home."

Unisex Caribou MF
Reviewed by Dominic, Nov 04, 2009

"For a warm weather bag, it's pretty much perfect. I can't think of a single complaint I have with the bag after hundreds of nights in it.

It's warmer than the 20 degree REI Sub-kilo bag it replaced (but that bag is notoriously overrated). It compresses down smaller than a volleyball."

Men's Caribou MF
Reviewed by Craig Bishop, Apr 30, 2006

"What can I say about Western Mountaineering, I first heard about these products through an online talk group and I must say I'm impressed. To put it in perspective, I currently own two Rab mountaineering sleeping bags which were handmade for me, however for use in Scotland in the summer, I found they were just too warm."
