I am heading out from Springer the first week of March. I cannot use down sleeping bags because of asthma. So synthetic it is. Not a big deal, don't like the extra weight and bulkiness, but it is what it is.
That being said, I can't decide on what degree bag to get. I really like the Montbell #1 spiral bag, but boy, that thing is toasty! It says 17 degree, but I think it would keep me warm well below that. So, is that too warm? I am really only worried about the smokey's. I have also considered getting a 32 degree bag and a liner. Drop 2 lbs from the bag, add a pound and 12 degrees from the liner. So, it would save me a pound and allow me to sleep more comfy in a bit warmer weather. Will I be too cold with that though?
This is the one thing I can't decide on. It is driving me crazy. Any input would be appreciated.
