Western Mountaineering UltraLite Sleeping Bag

If 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 -7°C. The full down collar helps to seal in heat around your neck without adding excess bulk and 455g of high lofting down pumps this bag to 5". The total weight of this very compressible package is only 820g.

Western Mountaineering down gear has an awesome reputation in the US and that reputation is beginning to build on this side of the pond. Very high quality materials design and construction results in the lightest bags available for a given warmth.  

An example of their attention to detail is their quoted 850+ fill power down used in all their bags: WM quote this figure even though their down generally gets higher ratings in official tests this is because they feel that the official pre-testing preparation enhances the down quality!

* Western Mountaineering state: 'We independently verify own temperature ratings through our own testing, customer feedback and design knowledge. Most of the items in our catalog we have been making for years, which means we have lots of prior knowledge from everyday consumers on what ratings are accurate. We have also EN tested our bags. In every case the EN rating is lower than our posted rating. This means our ratings are more conservative. We do this to ensure that almost everyone will be happy in our bags at the temperature we publish.'
