User Review: Western Mountaineering SummerLite

Western Mountaineering SummerLite
Above: The current SummerLite, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Temperature Rating: 32

I used the bag for the first time backpacking in northern Minnesota in the fall. I decided to bring this bag based on weather forcasts predicting the overnight lows in the mid 40's. The temperature plummeted to the 30's as soon as the sun set, and I wasn't looking forward to testing the bag's rating. By the time I crawled into the bag, my digital temp display was showing 27F. I was expecting to spend a long night shivering in the fetal position. Fortunately, the bag lived up to its rating of 32F, and I didn't get cold during the night. Granted, I wasn't peeling off the layers, but I wasn't cold either.

Pros: conservative temp rating, small pack size and weight.

Cons: none
