[pct-l] Sleeping Bag - For Hot Sleeper

[Jeffrey Olson]

I did what Gary suggests for years and years.  It works, but a quilt is 
made to be a blanket as well as a snuggle zone for cold temps.  Once I 
tried the quilt I never looked back.  A feathered friends medium 20 
degree bag - the hummingbird - is 27 ounces.  The Nunatak arc alpinist 
medium is 20 ounces.  That's almost half a pound difference - a huge 
number if your base weight is 10 to 12 pounds.

Again, the sleeping bag as blanket works - it just isn't ideal for what 
Kathi described...
