Hi All
3 or 4 seasons sleeping bags, that are not down. Any recommendations? Off to Sweden canoeing in September not sure what the temperature will be, but thinking at night it may be a little chilly at night. Anybody been there at that time of year? Definitely want a good nights sleep rather be to hot that to cold.

South of Sweden is on level with Scotland, north is above the Arctic Circle. A handy rule is that when there is snow on the ground a 4 season bag might be useful. There is always the odd day for off season weather though. Height should be taken into account too.

Basically September in mid Sweden is cool summer but ...

Thank you for your input, I have jest been reading about the British Army Military Modular Sleep System, do you have any knowledge on this at all?

I don't have experience of the newer modular system, but I do have experience of using the older arctic sleeping bag and the old style 'jungle' sleeping bag. A few moons ago I made my own modular sleep systems by using those two bags, a US poncho liner which, when combined with the bivy bag is a good 'covers all bases' modular system. I used to simply swap in and out which ever mix and match suited the weather conditions.
