The Joys of a Summer Weight Bag
For the longest time I owned a single sleeping bag that met the requirements of the worst conditions I was likely to encounter in a given year. For the most part, and most recently, this meant a synthetic filled 0° bag with a full storm hood, draft tube and shoulder yoke.
My current worst conditions model has kept me alive through more than one -28°F night and even continued function credibly after a full on dousing in a lake (don't ask).
That said, it also weighs in at better than four pounds and completely fills the bottom of a 6500 cubic inch expidition pack (which has its own issues)
In anticipation of an Appalachian Trail thru-hike, I bought a high-performance 20° down bag in the spring of 2002.
