HighLite
$405.00 - $425.00
Description

  The pinnacle of ultralight efficiency; 35° F

  Western Mountaineering's HighLite is designed to be the lightest, most compressible bag you can find. Everything about this bag is constructed with weight in mind, from its 0.9-oz ExtremeLite™ fabric to the half-length zipper. A popular choice among thru-hikers and ultralight fanatics, the HighLite's efficient narrow mummy cut means that the bag heats up faster and more heat is retained compared to wider sleeping bags. At only 16 ounces, no other bag is as light, as warm, as well-made or as good-looking as the HighLite.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the HighLite is made by hand in San Jose, California. Their down is sourced from free-range mother geese who are never live-plucked or force-fed.

Footprint sold separately.
