Western Mountaineering - VersaLite

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.

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.

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

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.

There isn’t really an absolute best, but I like Katabatic for a quilt and western mountaineering or feathered friends for a bag. I prefer quilts down to around the low 20s, bags below that. Having a pocket in your quilt for a sleeping pad seems silly to me.

Western Mountaineering is the benchmark. Their bags really are great. In addition to WM, I also own a Gryphon Gear quilt and can say that their quality is top notch as well and they make both bags and quilts. For a few hundred less than a WM bag, you can get a Gryphon Gear Taurus bag. They are a small cottage shop so you get to deal directly with the owner and he'll make it custom to your liking if you want it a little more roomy. I think there are so many better choices than the EE quilts.

Western mountaineering… cry once, but once

I own two sleeping bags: one from Western Mountaineering (superb quality, but very expensive) and one from Cumulus (high quality at a fairly reasonable price). After a lot of comparison, I personally think both brands provide reliable comfort temperature ratings and are absolutely worth the money. Just remember: if you're physically worn out, the lower limit of the comfort range might not be enough-so it's smart to give yourself a little warmth buffer.
