Designed to be one of the most compact and lightweight sleeping bags on the market, the Ultralite Pro 50 weighs just 630 grams and packs down to a ultra tiny 24 x 13cm. It has been given a 1 season rating but with a comfort rating of 8 degrees it is knocking on the door of many two season sleeping bags.

It’s All About Pack Size
If you’re heading off bikepacking, hiking or heading to warmer climbs you know that its all about pack size and weight. As you can see from the pictures this bag compresses down to hardly anything saving lots of room in your pack. Made from strong polyester and with a cap top the compression sack can take a good amount of abuse.
Creating Warmth without Weight
The Ultralite range add additional warmth by using clever features rather than simply adding extra bulk through traditional insulation. Their 4T Synthetic Insulation has a unique channel like structure which traps air more effectively creating a warmer weight to fill ratio.
Throughout the sleeping bag are weaved elastic threads which gently make the sleeping bag conform to your body shape and close up any air gaps which can result in cold spots. Team this up with the Omega Shaping design of the bag and you have a superbly ergonomically designed sleeping bag.
Other Key Features
We all know that a lot of heat is lost through your head and so the 3D hood with multi-cord closure has been developed to better fit around your head and again reduce heat loss.
Working on similar principles the arrow foot design at the base of the bag reduces air gaps at the bottom by more naturally shaping to your feet when in a sleeping position. The internal pocket is great for keeping car keys or valuables at hand or even a torch if something were to crop up in the night.
The hood edging is also insulated which offers a nice layer of padding if you need to pull it in close around your head to maximise the heat retention of the bag.
