The UltraLite is a down 3-season (0° to 32°f) bag made by Western Mountaineering. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 5 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Packing enough down to keep you warm when the temp drops down to 20 F, the Western Mountaineering UltraLite Sleeping Bag still remains light at a feathery 1lbs 10oz (size Regular). Western Mountaineering applies a 20X20-denier ripstop nylon to retain the 850+ European down fill and keep your tent from looking like a goose has just molted inside it. A soft taffeta lining caresses trail-weary skin and, thanks to its breathability, controls the climate inside of the bag on balmy nights. When on multi-day hikes, mountaineering, or cycle-touring, you'll appreciate the UltraLite's low weight and ability to stay comfortable in diverse climates."

From Massey's:
"Your summer bike tour is going to take you through different climates then the UltraLite is a good choice. With a 59" shoulder girth this efficient bag is good to 20Adeg. The full down collar helps to seal in heat around your neck without adding excess bulk, and 16 oz. of high lofting down pumps this bag to 5". The total weight of this very compressible package is only 1 lb. 13 oz, Full-length #5 YKK Zipper, Full Down Collar, 5 1/4", Spacing/Continuous Baffles, 59"/38" Shoulder/Foot Girth, 5" Loft, 20Adeg F, 16 oz.

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Western Mountaineering Ultralite Sleeping Bag - Try to beat this weight-to-warmth ratio – it’s not easy. The Western Mountaineering Ultralite sleeping bag weighs in at under two pounds and is rated down to 25° F. This is a super bag for the warmer sleeping three-season traveler who wants to pare weight down to a minimum. Remember that this bag uses ExtremeLite fabric so extra care is required with the shell. The Ultralite is a very slim, thermally efficient cut, so some folks find it restrictive. The Western Mountaineering sleeping bags are Made in America. 20° F 85oz/sq yd. Fabric is the ultimate in light weight and compressibility Full-length zipper with draft tube Full baffled hood with drawstring Continuous baffles allow user to shift down from top to bottom (or vice versa) giving comfort across a wider temperature range Anti-snag zipper tape Model Shape Size Rating Loft Inside Girth shoulder / hip / foot Fill Wt.

"I have a lot of bags. . .
This is the worst one.

All my bags the temperature rating tends to be conservative, but in this WM bag the rating is hyped.
I am a very warm sleeper, I can do well in most bags even though the temperature has dropped below its recommended use."

"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."
