When you are choosing an ultralight sleeping bag, the following factors are worth considering:
- Ventilation (a half-length zipper is lighter, but provides fewer ventilation options). The Spark Pro has even more variability and may be worth consideration.
- Zipper coupling (if a couple wants to zip two sleeping bags together, it's essential that the zippers are coupling compatible)
