SummerLite

WM Summerlite sleeping bag. Lighter more compact than my older 15° bag.

I've got a WM Sumerlite @32F, which has been rock solid for me in low 30's. I still use it as a top quilt for most of the 30-50F hikes in my hammock. I suspect the Versalite is a solid bag based on the performance of the lighter weight version.

A couple of notes on Western 1) their temp ratings are the comfort ratings, not lower limit. 2) the Ultralite is narrower than the Alpinlite, but if you look at comps the Ultralite can generally be considered a standard width. 3) if Megalite is of interest the Sunmerite is the narrower (again standard by industry norms) version.

I am a cold sleeper too. And I’m embarrassed to admit, I could afford a western mountaineering bag. It was 0°. And I’m 59 and I got the 6 foot six version. Giving me tons of down to snuggle into. I actually use this bag way more than just the winter and I’m always toasty warm.

Western mountaineering. I get cold easily even in the summer in Colorado at high altitudes. I also snow camp

Don’t forget to get a really big bag one that goes way over your head. It’s just so cozy.

It really depends who you are. I can shiver on a Colorado summer night at 11k. So I spent 2lbs on a western mountaineering bag. I love it.

WM continuous baffle design kinda is a hybrid. You can shift the down from top to bottom and reverse if its too hot/cold. So you are basically resting on the 2 thin nylon layers. If this is too warm, zip it up and use it as a blanket. No drafts, no straps,… you can take a model without a draft collar to safe weight and wear your puffy inside. Highly recommended!

Western Mountaineering mummy bag. I do a lot in shoulder season and these are very warm for the weight

I liked my quilt when I was doing shorter trips. Once I started doing months at a time I grabbed a western mountaineering bag and I have no regrets. Helps me extend a bit more into shoulder season

Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends or Marmot for bags. Enlightened Equipment, Hammock Gear or Katabatic for backpacking quilts. Not cheap but quality and comfortable.

I've been a quilt user for years, but if I were looking for sleeping bags, I would go with either Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends. You absolutely get what you pay for with either brand. Awesome quality.
