Gear Review: Western Mountaineering Sleeping Bags

Its been a while since we’ve done a gear review, and considering all the great new product rolling into the shop daily for spring and summer, it was actually kind of tough to choose what we should feature first!  Thankfully, a good night’s sleep is something all of us at Jagged Edge can appreciate, especially when out in the woods, so what better place to start our gear review than with sleeping bags!

Western Mountaineering is the hands-down leader in the outdoor industry when it comes to down products.  If you are looking for the lightest, warmest, highest quality down product on the market, then look no further than Western Mountaineering and their great lineup of products.  Started more than 30 years ago in Northern California by two passionate mountaineers who believed they could make a better down product than what was available on the market, Western has blossomed into a company that still remains true to its roots while making some of the most incredible product available.  From sourcing the best raw materials, to the using the highest quality down, to using the best stitching and packing techniques when constructing each sleeping bag by hand in their northern California factory, each product made by Western Mountaineering is paid the utmost attention to detail, ensuring a long and warm product life.

Jagged Edge is proud to be working with Western Mountaineering, stocking a large selection of their sleeping bag collection for 2010.  From bags made to survive the harshest and coldest climates on earth, to the same high quality construction put into summer weight bags built for backpacking and camping trips around the Rockies, Western makes a bag for any person in any destination.  A large selection of Western’s spring and summer bags has just arrived at Jagged Edge, from the go-anywhere 10 F Versalite and the sub 2 lb. 20 F Ultralite, to Western’s lightest bag at just over 1 lb., the 32 F Summerlite.  Experience for yourself the warmth and comfort of a high quality product made in the USA, and let the expert staff at Jagged Edge fit you for that perfect Western Mountaineering sleeping bag!
