[pct-l] ReL Sleeping bag question

[Tamsin McMahon]

Hey folks, 

First of all, someone pointed out to me that my message was all garbled with coding or something. I'm not sure why that is. Sorry about that! (Hopefully this message isn't also garbled, otherwise I'll switch to a different e-mail address).

Secondly, I'm getting the sense from some feedback that maybe I should stick with a 20F bag all the way through and maybe even bring a silk liner for the shoulder seasons and the Sierras. Should I bother swapping out for the 40F bag at any point, to save weight and not be too warm at night?

I get very cold at night in cold weather. I'd rather be too warm than too cold in my bag and would prefer not to wear every article of clothing I own to bed. I am, however, bringing a full-on tent, no cowboy camping or tarp/tarptent for me. It's my one compromise on the ultralight philosophy (though it's an ultralight tent).

GoLite bag looks promising, especially the price compared to Nunatak. I'm tempted to get the Western Mountaineering Ultralight, though it's not much cheaper than the Nunatak, it weighs less than the GoLite and I have a gift certificate that will cover most of the cost of it.  Does anyone have any experience with Western Mountaineering? 

Thanks!
