[FS VIC] Western Mountaineering Summerlite 0º
Posted: Thu 12 Mar, 2020 7:57 pmPurchased from Paddy Palin Melbourne late 2015.
Used under 20 nights and in great condition.
It has a very insignificant 5mm x 10mm tear on underside that I simply put sticky tape over when discovered on close inspection to list on this site in 2019. I don't know how that happened as I have never had the SB near anything sharp.
Left Hand Side full zip. Regular length 6".
I am a hot sleeper and used this snow camping with down pants and jacket.
Not used since April 2018 as I shifted to quilts (to better regulate my heat).
Always stored in stuff sack in a ventilated cupboard. Great loft.
True to manufacturers specs + 13g WM stuff sack = 563g
Summary from Paddy Palin:
The SummerLite is the lightest bag that Western Mounatineering make in a continuous baffle construction. Their goal in designing this bag was to make it as light as possible without eliminating key features or function. The result is a fully-baffled bag that weighs only 540 grams and features a full-length zipper with insulated draft protection! The SummerLite is a dream come true for lightweight backpacking fanatics.
New $730 at PP - $645 on eBay.
Asking $475 ex.postage from Creswick Victoria
