Where to buy:
The Western Mountaineering HighLite sleeping bag is the definition of class and comfort that come at a steeper price. At the mere 1 pound, this sleeping bag is one of the most lightweight bags on the market. This California-based brand has been producing high-end sleeping bags for years now and didn’t disappoint with this model either.
The 850-fill down insulation is there, and so is the water-resistant coating designed to protect you from the unforeseen weather fluctuations. The sleeping bag takes pride in its ultra-breathable ExtremeLite shell that has a high thread count and a good rate of warmth.
There is no way the warm air will escape the sleeping bag – the horizontal seams are well-sewn into the fabric, while the waist and shoulder girth remove the pockets of dead air for your comfort.
