Hello, long time stalker, first post. Does anyone have any opinions on the fabric used for both of these bags. I am looking to buy one for an Xmas gift for my girlfriend. FF Petrel UL uses Pertex Endurance UL while the WM Versalite uses their Extremelite fabric. They are very close in weight.
I am also a little leary of the width on the versalite for her. Might be too wide for her to heat up.
Thanks
Scott
You might take a look at the WM Apache if you think the Versalite might be too wide for her. It has the same amount of loft as the Versalite but is narrower, weighs about the same and uses WM's microfiber fabric, which is a truly excellent shell material.
If unsure about the Versalite being too wide, I agree with the Apache recommendation but would add the 2oz of overfill option (women tend to sleep colder).
Hermits Hut currently has the Apache on sale and includes the overfill option for free.

You really can't go wrong with either brand as they are both top of the line in quality…..though Feathered Friends have a female specific cut while WM is more unisex.
Cheers
Very similar fabrics. The non UL fabric used for some FF bags (Nano) is far more robust than either for minimal weight gain.
Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Christopher, I will check out HermitHut!
