Based on 1 year's data from Jan 28, 2026 How it works
The over-bag is about 1lb, so the combo is 40oz, around 8oz heavier than the Versatile. I've been considering the Versatile so I'm glad to hear it's working for you. That might be the way to go for me.
It sounds like the Versatile is the way to go for me. I like the idea of some extra overfill too!
WM sounds like the way to go.
I move a lot in my sleep, and in cold weather I always get drafts with quilts. For Western bags, measure the circumference around your shoulders. If you’re <62” try the Antelope instead. If you sleep warm and you’re 62”-64” try the Versalite (10 degree but lighter fabric). If you’re 65”+ the Kodiak is the bag.
Super cold sleeper here too. (Colder than you - I have a 20 degree Flicker I almost never use because I can only take it down to around 40-45.) I LOVE my Versalite and would highly recommend it.
Consider Western Mountaineering- I own four now I love them so much. The Versalite 10° is comparable to a 0° bag, and has legroom. It has a proper mummy hood, but if you’re cold you’ll likely be wanting that. My wife takes this bag out in 20°-ish weather, and her feet get warm within minutes of being in the bag.
Similar experiences of versalite. Though it’s loose fit allows using layers confortably and i’ve used it down to -12c and woken up even too hot.
Western Mountaineering if you are OK with a mummy bag. Been using a 10 degree one for several years now and it has proven worth the money. I do like a quilt when temps will be above 40 degrees or so, but anytime temps may be colder I personally prefer a bag, no fighting drafts with a bag. Down bags are preferred for me, but synthetic can be nice for warmer/dirtier trips as they are a bit less of a pain to wash compared to down.
If you’re looking for a really warm yet still light bag I did the PCT with the Western Mountaineering Versalite. It ended up being overkill for me but it’s an amazing bag as long as you don’t mind the cost
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 mummy bag. I do a lot in shoulder season and these are very warm for the weight
It sounds like you need a sleeping bag with a hood and draft collar. Down loft would be the most efficient way to sleep warmer and would be the most packable. Since you mentioned the Antelope, then maybe consider the WM Versalite with 3oz. overfill. 23oz of down in the 6 foot length compared to about 15oz in the Flicker. Hermit Hut in Redding CA will give you free overfill. This should keep you cozy well below freezing, but still keep the Nunatak for when it's really cold.
I think the WM versalite is what you’re looking for. In my opinion the most versatile 3-season bag
Second the WM recommendation. I own three myself: Ultralite, Versalite and a Flylite. Quality bags.
