Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Western Mountaineering UltraLite Sleeping Bag will keep you warm and comfortable down to 20 F and weighs only 1lb 10oz [Reg] yes, that's ultra light! Western Mountaineering uses only the best European goose down, and with 850+ fill, the UltraLite bag is an excellent choice for cold weather camping. 20 x 20 denier Ripstop nylon provides even construction for a more downproof fabric means down is less likely to leak out of your bag like a goose shedding its feathers. A silky smooth taffeta lining is soft on the skin and breathable for climate control inside your bag so you stay warm without cooking your goose. The UltraLite features Western Mountaineering's unique split collar which combines half of a down filled tube with flat fabric and cinches down to seal in heat as effectively as a full draft collar but without the excess weight. You'll appreciate Western Mountaineering's meticulous craftsmanship when you're still sleeping toasty warm decades after you purchased this bag."

From CampSaver.com:
"20% OFF COUPON OFFER! If your summer bike tour is going to take you through different climates then the Western Mountaineering UltraLite Super is a good choice. With a 59 shoulder girth this efficient bag is good to 20. The Full Down Collar helps to seal in heat around your neck without adding excess bulk, and 14 oz. of high lofting down pumps this bag to 5. The total weight of this very compressible package is only 1 lb. 10 oz."

Men's UltraLite

"I use a WM Antelope for fall and early winter camping and the UltraLite for everything else. Lightest and warmest 20 degree bag I've ever experienced. At 1lb 12oz and 850 fill, this long version sleeping bag stuffs into the smallest stuff sack for maximum compactness."

"Just got mine used and I'm super impressed. So light, well made, a bit tight at five nine, one fifty five. It's my new three-season bag. The Iroquois goes for summer now and the Badger is for colder nights."

"WM makes a great bag. The ultralight series is pretty amazing, makes you feel warm just pulling it from the stuff sack. It keeps me warm at well under the 25 deg rating, huge amounts of loft, and the fabric is surprising water resistent. The outside can get quite damp and the down will be perfectly dry."

"This incredibly light bag is super warm, and compact. I think it's THE summer bag to own, especially if you usually camp in dry climates. Very solid construction, impecable stitching, box bafflles, draft tube, this bag is well down. In fact it's warm enough to warrant a neck draft tube as well, because you could venture into colder climes with this bag."
