I have the Thermolite II as well. It is much smaller when packed than any normal sleeping bag, and you really can easily roll it back up and get it back in the sack. I got it for emergency use, but tested it out a few times. I don't know how many times you could use it, but it isn't really flimsy at least. It was about 60°F when I used it and I was warm, but then I don't like being hot anyway. Yes, you could call this model an ultralight sleeping bag. Seems worth the money. The Heatsheets bivvy is more disposable, but looks like it should last more than one use. I have not slept in it yet.
