Introduction

Western Mountaineering VersaLite: Ultimate Warmth, Minimal Weight.

Western Mountaineering has earned a stellar reputation in the U.S. for crafting some of the finest down gear availableand now that reputation is growing worldwide. With an uncompromising commitment to quality materials, precision design, and expert craftsmanship, they create some of the lightest, warmest sleeping bags on the market.

For those venturing into colder climates or who tend to sleep cold, the VersaLite is the warmest bag in Western Mountaineerings ExtremeLite series. Weighing just 2 lbs, its also one of the lightest 10F (-12C) sleeping bags available. A full draft collar and draft tube lock in warmth, while the spacious cut ensures comfort without compromising efficiency. Stuffed with an average of 20 oz of premium 850+ fill power goose down, the VersaLite delivers serious warmth well into the shoulder seasons.

Western Mountaineerings attention to detail sets them apart. Their down is officially rated 850+ fill power, yet in independent tests, it often exceeds that. Instead of inflating their numbers, they focus on real-world performanceensuring you get the best warmth-to-weight ratio possible.

When every ounce counts and warmth is non-negotiable, the VersaLite is the ultimate companion for high-performance adventures.

The Brand

More than 40 years ago, two northern California mountaineers came together with a vision of uncompromised excellence. Their inspired dedication and persistence built the foundation of this now globally renowned brand. Western Mountaineering’s history is more than just two young men building sleeping bags: even today WM still remains a small independent company, making all of its sleeping bags in the original factory in San Jose (USA), whilst constantly striving to give their customers the finest down products money can buy.
