While I understand this is a subjective subject I’ve come to the conclusion that to reduce base weight I need to use a few items in more ways.
When I breakdown the weight of my gear I’ve noticed that my sleeping clothes are a large chunk of my base weight.
For typical 3 season hiking has anyone tried the following:
1. Using a lower temp sleeping bag/quilt (10 degree) with a silk base layer and incorporating a puffy as part of their sleep system
2. Using a higher temp sleeping bag/quilt (30 degree) with a silk base layer incorporating a wind jacket & wind pants (Mont Bell Dynamo) and supplement with a fleece style jacket (Patagonia R1 or equivalent).
Typically I have found merino wool system sleep systems tend to be heavy but yet offer a high warmth in return.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
