Caribou is sewn-thru, most of their other bags are baffled.
Con men understand that their job is not to use facts to convince skeptics but to use words to help the gullible to believe what they want to believe - Thomas Sowell
As others have mentioned a problem with the Highlite is the non lockable and half sized zipper. The Caribou has a full size zip and is wider .
If I were to buy one now I would go for the Summerlite, full zip and continuous baffles . ( you can shift the down around that way)

I just did the entire trail with the Western Mountaineering Caribou, I'd HIGHLY recommend this bag. They're, WM, the only ones that have accurate temperature ratings...
I still love my Caribou, but I'm a cold sleeper and was chilled while using it in the high 30's with long johns on. Just purchased an Alpinlite 20 degree bag. Will use it on my Springer to Woody section hike starting tomorrow!
