Recently got this bag from Hermit’s Hut, but its 29.3 oz weight is just too close to my Alpinlites (have 2, new one for sale here on GS). Weighed and checked on 2 highly accurate scales. I called WM customer support and they said that the over spec weight (WAY over) is due to them getting carried away with down overfill at the factory and not any gains in shell weight. A regular 6′ Megalite without any overfill actually weighs 710g or 25.04 oz (according to ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk who weighs every item they sell), so the overfill is more than 4 oz and not the 2 oz I thought I’d be getting. I could return it, but Hermitt’s Hut already paid for shipping to the Eastern US, so I’d rather just eat the Paypal fees and pass the bag on here. Shipping will cost me the same either way.
$545 Paypal G and S. That’s what I paid, which is retail price for a 6′ Megalite without any overfill from just about every other gear site. I’ll include shipping USPS. This is the warmest Megalite you’ll ever see.
