Overview
Cold campsites on bike tours and kayak trips are where the Versalite belongs, a goose down mummy bag from Western Mountaineering's ExtremeLite series. A Super Full Collar seals warmth in at the shoulders, and the zip runs down the right side.
Warmth for its weight is the case for it, thanks to high lofting goose down under a light ExtremeLite shell. Nothing in the listing claims water resistance for the shell, so damp trips need care with the down.
Who it's for
Cold three-season trips where every ounce counts suit this bag, with a roomy cut for a mummy. Sleepers taller than the six foot size, and anyone camping in persistent damp, should look at a longer size or synthetic fill.
Pros and cons
- High lofting goose down fill
- Super Full Collar seals in warmth
- Roomy shoulder girth for a mummy
- Packs into a small stuff sack
- Listed weights conflict between specs and description
- Water resistance not stated for the shell
- Length limits taller sleepers
Performance notes
Warmth comes from the loft of the high fill power goose down and from the collar trapping heat at the shoulders. Loft only works when the down stays dry and uncompressed, so a pad underneath and dry storage on the trail decide how warm it sleeps.
