The Western Mountaineering UltraLite mummy bag earns the Editor's Choice award in this comparison review of eight ultralight sleeping bags, each weighing less than two pounds. The review praises it for a zipper that never snags, "meticulous attention to detail" and a conservative comfort rating.
Review: Super Light Sleeping Bags, Dave Sheldon, Mar. 2004
Based on exceptionally thorough evaluations of ten high-end sleeping bags, the Western Mountaineering UltraLite is judged the best for overall functionality, though it shares top ranking with the Marmot Helium. The Ultralite earns praise for comfort, construction quality and flexibility -- as "the perfect "bridge bag" -- functioning well as both a summer and full three-season bag."
Review: Comparative, Lightweight Sleeping Bag Review, Charles Lindsey, June 2002
Outside Magazine's gear expert recommends the Western Mountaineering UltraLite as the best sleeping bag for year-round use, since a warm liner can make it suitable even for winter nights. The reviewer praises the UltraLite for its light weight and "famously high-quality construction."

Review: Western Mountaineering UltraLite Reviews, Contributors to BackPackGearTest.org
This enthusiastic single-product review is well illustrated, even showing a photo of the Western Mountaineering UltraLite sleeping bag compressed into a stuff sack. Readers add comments; one has been using an UltraLite sleeping bag since 1985 and it's still going strong.
