Overview
Not a bag for cold weather, the Summerlite is a summer-weight mummy bag. It uses continuous baffles filled with high fill power goose down, with a full-length zipper that has insulated draft protection. This listing is the six foot, left zip size.
The design aim is the least weight possible without dropping key features like a full zipper and draft tube. That makes it a fit for ultralight backpackers on warm trips. The downside of that focus is a narrow temperature range.
Who it's for
Weight-focused hikers who camp when nights stay mild are the target. Cold sleepers and anyone heading into frosty conditions need a warmer rating than this bag offers.
Pros and cons
- Continuous baffle construction
- Insulated draft tube at the zipper
- Water resistant ripstop shell
- High fill power goose down
- Summer-only temperature rating
- Left zip only in this size
- Stuff sack inclusion not stated
Performance notes
Continuous baffles let the fill move freely around the body, and the draft tube blocks cold air along the zipper. The DWR coating on the shell sheds light moisture, though down loses loft when wet, so the bag still needs protection from rain.
