sleeping bag for summer backpacking?
Backpacking with low temps being 60-65F should I just pack a pair of thermals for my legs, a fleece and my sleeping mat, or should I tote along my 20F rated sleeping bag. thanks
Well how warm is your 20*F sleeping bag? I use a 30*F sleeping bag, but its lost a lot of its loft so its not a 30F bag anymore. It was a high end bag so its lighter than a lot of the 40 or 50F bags out there and my new 0F sleeping bag is even lighter weight but 10x`s warmer than the older 30F. I would do whatever is comfortable for you. If you check the weather the day before you leave for the week youll be out you can decide to take your 20F and sleep in gym shorts or take a nice wool blanket and sleep in thermals and a fleece.
I dont think we can make this decision for you, do you like to sleep warmer or cooler? You also dont know what the temp will really be until the day before you leave. I`ve been out on summer nights where its in the low 40`s and the next night its in the 70s.
