For the sake of 500 grams and a bit of bulk the difference climbing into a super warm bag and one that's just warm enough.....

Have opted for comfort :)
Re: sleeping bag dilemmas
With weigh in prowess at stake, I'm taking my lightest bag, which I will undoubtedly regret....
Re: sleeping bag dilemmas
The only "heavy" bag I have is my Buffalo 4 season. It is lovely and warm, but weighs a ton a does not pack small at all, so it's the lightweight bag again for me. Though I think I might nip down town at lunchtime and get a silk bag liner...

Pertex Thermaliner for warmer,lighter trips
