User Review: Western Mountaineering UltraLite

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: Mummy
Fill: 850
Temperature Rating: +20
Weight: 1lb 12oz

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. However I've recently been stuffing it into my day pack with all my other down items and clothes, etc.

This package fits neatly into the bottom of my pack without compressing the down as much as other methods. I don't like using compression stuff sacks for 850 like I used to for 550 and 600. Just a personal thing. I'm 6'3" 185 lbs with plenty of room to spare in the WM UltraLite. No half zip here. Full zip for maximum ventilation and roomy foot box. In my opinion, Western Mountaineering is the "Magnum Opus" of sleeping bag manufacturers!!!

*Highly recommended for people in good mountaineering shape. Not recommended for gorillas!!!
