You ain't gonna die. You might get a little chilly. I'm goin' through Hot Springs about 2 weeks later with a WM Highlite (35 F).

Ok, thanks for the comments guys! Still uncertain about leaving out April 1st with the Summerlite. I've got some other good gear to go along with it. A WM Flash Jacket, which I would likely stuff around my feet on cold nights. A Mountain Hardware Balaclava and a Patigonia Capeline 3 top and 2 bottoms, and of course wool socks and gloves. I'm thinking I could survive a few cold nights around 20 degrees, but would really hate to wake up as an ice cube.
