Product
Details
The Western Mountaineering HighLite Sleeping Bag will keep you warm and comfortable down to 35F and weighs a ridiculously light 1lb (Reg), making it an excellent choice for ultralight summer outings. Western Mountaineering uses only the best European goose down to build this 850+ fill bag. Everything in the HighLites design is intended to reduce weight and increase compressibility including a remarkably light shell fabric, a half-length zipper and a streamlined cut. 20 x 20 denier Ripstop nylon provides even construction for a more downproof fabric, meaning the 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 HighLite features box baffle construction to better contain down and prevent it from shifting to create cold spotsthis is very important in bags with less down, and Western Mountaineering does it best. Youll appreciate Western Mountaineerings meticulous craftsmanship when youre still sleeping toasty warm decades after you purchased this bag.

Lightweight Sleeping Bags Checklist
 |
Sure It's Warm Enough? Lightweight
bags are meant for use in weather between 30-50 degrees. But, remember,
it's always prudent to add on at least 10 degrees to the bags rating.
Thus, a bag rated to 40 degrees might only keep you warm in 50 degree
weather. |
|
Down or Synthetic? Each
have their advantages. Down is less bulky and weighs a few ounces
less. Synthetic costs less (usually) and is easier to dry - you can
just toss it in the dryer. |
|
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A
sleeping bag is useless without a sleeping
pad. So,
if you don't already have a sleeping pad, get one. For lightweight
sleeping bags (thus used in warm weather), you don't need a super
thick or winter-style one. |
|
Ideal Uses for a Lightweight Bag. Where
you know...for sure...that the temperature will stay at least 10-15
degrees above the sleeping bags rating. And, where every ounce and
cubic inch of space is at a premium. Lightweight bags are often
used by climbers and bike campers/travelers. For backpacking in the
mountains, a lightweight bag is NOT recommended! |
