Touring - Best Deal on a lightweight bag?
Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes.

Looking for a good deal on a lightweight summer sleeping bag for touring. Any recommendations? REI Outlet and Sierra Trading Post are slim on selections right now. I'm considering getting a bag liner since I shouldn't need much in the way of warmth (I'm in the Mid-Atlantic) .
Suggestions or deals?

You might just consider using a bed sheet for the summer heat/humidity.Here in Fl. for the summer that works fine and I still needa small fan to keep cool.Otherwise the liner is probably a good idea and something that can be used with a 3season bag for colder months.Or if you have a 3season bag already just use it unzipped more as a blanket.
My bag is a 15+ degree bag, so it is 3 seasons, but those season are fall, winter and spring! :D It's a mummy bag so it doesn't fold open too easily and I've tried it in the summer - way to hot. The sheet might be a good idea. I'm trying to stay extra light weight this time, it's only a two day trip. Thanks.

I like the Kelty Light Year CD (a 30degree bag). Go to the forums at www.backpacker.com. You will find more opinions on sleeping bags than you can read in a week.

I have a Slumberjack So-Lite. Its an inexpensive bag that has done pretty well. I got it from www.campmor.com. They have a large selection of bags in all price ranges. Check it out.
