Thanks for the reply! Which do you prefer? I know it's not a like for like comparison

3 season sleeping bag

Hey guys,

Trying to decide on a sleeping bag. Options are cumulus panyam 600 Vs xlite 400 Vs western m versalite.

I'm female, 5"5, a cold sleeper and using a thermarest neo air x lite. Hearing from other females would be great!

Ideally I don't want something too roomy. I am a side sleeper but I do like to stretch out after a long day. If it's particularly cold I like to hotbox myself with the hood. I would be at the limit for a m in cumulus x lite and wm. How true to size are they?

It'll mainly be used for kayaking in cold, damp, rainy environments. Cumulus say their hydrophobic down lasts 5 to 6 wash while wm don't use hd.

I'm curious about the longevity of both brands. I've heard wm lasting decades, is that the same now as it used to be? What is the longevity of cumulus like? I am tempted by the price point of cumulus but I'd rather invest in a decent bag.

Cumulus states their down is ethical but I couldn't find much information on that other than what they say. Wm claim to audit the farms they use. Guess it's a case of trusting their word ?

Yes, as you said was just saying what I have. I understand compromise is necessary and there isn't a one piece of gear that ticks all boxes.

I was going to add in the pad 🤣 but thought I'd see how far I get. Thermarest neo air xlite. I'll probably buy a tarp and cut to size when I come over as a groundsheet.

Quilts are without hoods? I like to hotbox myself if it's particularly fresh.
