Light but warm sleeping bag required

[Johnnytheboy]

I try to go 'proper' camping (i.e. set off with a rucksack, walk for a day, camp somehwere, then walk back) once a year.

Left it a bit late this year and looks like I'll do it end of Sept/early Oct, by which time it could be just above freezing at night!

I'm a bit anal about pack weight so I have a (cheap) lightweight sleeping bag that generally suffices - but warm it aint.

Any recommendations for a sufficiently warm but light (<2kg) sleeping bag?

Happy to spend a reasonable amount to get quality.

Thanks, will give them a look.

Did some research & bought one of these...

Will report back after testing.

It was fine for what I needed - must've got down to ~8 deg C the night I was out and I was plenty warm enough.

Also - importantly - while it was quite bulky it is a nice light bag, weighed in at 1.2kg on the scales.

The only thing I'd say is it didn't have quite as much of an enclosing hood as I'm used to, though I'm not sure I was utilising the drawstring fully.

Writing this reminds me of just how much it chucked it down the second day of that trip - about 15 Sept, that weekend when Saturday was glorious and Sunday was constant rain - and I walked nine miles in it.
