Product
Details
If you like to travel ultralight in the backcountry, take the new Mountain Hardwear Womens Ultralamina 32 Sleeping Bag. Its ThermoMicro insulation keeps you warm in damp, chilly weather. Not only is this sleeping bag lightweight, but it compresses to a mere 6.5 inches by 10 inches. Mountain Hardwear reduced this bags weight by welding its insulation directly to the shell, eliminating the need for baffles. The lack of baffles also helps the insulation stand up to repeated stuffing and washing. Partial zippers on both sides of the sleeping bag shave ounces, but still let you sit up and read. The DWR-coated Ultralamina 32 stays warm even when its wet, and the womens-specific cut creates increased insulation in the torso and footbox.

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! |
