Right now I have a Marmot Trestles 15f. I've been hitchhiking with it over the past half year. Worked great, but at almost 4 pounds, it's a bit heavy and definitely bulky. I have a place I can store my cooler weather kit, so i'm looking at lighter stuff for this spring, summer, and autumn.
I have my eye on the Snugpak jungle bag. Very cheap, lightweight, and packs very small. I should be on the mediterranean for most of the spring and summer - Greece, Turkey, around the black sea as well... Would this suffice? Also, if and when it gets colder, would a fleece liner add a fair bit of warmth? (or maybe even getting a snugpak jacket additionally?)
THe reviews for the warmth rating are making me a wee bit iffy, but at the moment it seems perfect. I have a merino wool base layer, thermal longjohns, and a silk liner which should keep me down to lower temps.. But, figured I'd ask here.
Also, i'll be sleeping in a tenth wonder hornet (with extra windproof/waterproof liner attached under it - dead air pocket as well), with a thermarest ridgerest if I have to. The bags zipper function to fully zip open would be great for hammocking!
Others have recommended the army jungle bag, but it seems heavier, bulkier, and about the same price.
Ideas?
