Western Mountaineering AlpinLite Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Down


Product Details

Western Mountaineering created the Alpinlite 20 Degree Down Sleeping Bag for alpine climbers and weight-obsessed backpackers who demand top-notch quality. Though it packs the warmth of 850+ goose down and a full draft collar, this Western Mountaineering sleeping bag weighs only 19oz in the medium size. A super-small stuff size takes up little space in your pack, so you dont have to climb technical pitches with a massive load dangling behind you.

Price : $ 409.95

Three Season Sleeping Bags Checklist

Down vs. Synthetic. The age-old question. Down bags pack down tighter and are a few ounces lighter. On the negative side, they are useless when wet, often take forever to dry (and many can't be tossed into a dryer), and tend to be more expensive.
Heading Out in Wet Weather? Then get a synthetic sleeping bag...period. This way, if your bag gets wet, you won't have a useless sleeping bag for the rest of your trip.
Float Camping? Again...get a synthetic bag. Be a bummer to have your bag end up in the water and become useless for the rest of your float trip.
Where Ounces and Packability Matter. Then go with a goose down bag. This is especially true if you are a bike camper, climber or camp in the desert.
