I've been looking at those as a summer bag. Probably good inside a bivi bag even in the hills?

Ouch! What have you got against our armed forces?:)

To answer the OP, yes, I've combined two light sleeping bags and I had a good sleep. Next night I used a goretex bivi bag over them both and it upped the temperature a bit more. The combined bulk of all three items was less than my proper four season sleeping bag.

On a very wet exercise in Denmark in 1984 I had to go into a wood to answer the call of nature just as it was getting dark. As my eyes adjusted to the poor light I noticed I was surrounded by luminescent objects on the ground , the more I looked the more I could see. Next morning in daylight I...

Several years in my youth as a soldier, sleeping in a hollow, or shell scrape, or under a poncho in the days before gore tex, did me no harm. Once we could get hold of arctic sleeping bag covers (pu coated nylon) that was a game changer, and when MVP (gore tex) bivi bags came in it was a...

I spent six months in Belize , a lot of the time out in the jungle. Snakes were present but were not really an issue, if you saw one it was usually departing fast. I saw a few fer de lance and several other unidentified species. Never heard of anyone getting bitten while I was there, and there...
