    Default GoLite Sleeping Bags

    I am interested in their new sleeping bags but have had trouble finding much information on them. I was hoping some here have used their bags and might have some insight as far as quality, temp rating etc...

    They seem to be fairly nice but would like some input from people who have owned or used them in the past.

    I have the zero degree golite venture I've used it extensively over the past several years. It's light. It packs small. It is not a zero degree bag IMO . Anything under 20 IMO I feel it. That's common in lighter bags. I found it preformed poorly when I climbed in wet. Happens a lot on AT

    Big fan of my GoLite 3-season quilt, rated to 20 degrees. I've found with past bags that I'm an average sleeper, so I'm happy to report that it plus a hooded down coat kept me almost overheated down to 20 degrees winter camping a few months ago. I've also slept below freezing in it in less clothing and with a weak-ish pad (Z-lite Sol) and stayed perfectly warm. I'm not much of a judge of construction, but it seems like it's well-made. It's not available on their website for now, possibly ever, but if I liked mummy bags, I would be comfortable buying one of theirs.
