Would like to hear experience with Western Mountaineering sleeping bags. I’m considering a semi rectangular model, will be used on fall mountain back country back packing hunts and trips. Looking closely at the Bristlecone. I’d like to know if experience with outer shells as well as how the accuracy of the temperature ratings.
I have 3 WM semi-rectangular bags: mitylite, sycamore, and sequoia. The temp ratings seem pretty accurate. The only time I've been cold in one at a temp above the rating was in fairly high wind ... so to be expected. I suspect the Gore Windstopper version would have worked better that night but a tent that stopped the damned wind would have as well.
