Clothes are part of the sleep system with a bag too. You can take a lighter bag if you plan to sleep in clothes inside your bag on cold nights.
Quilts are simple to make and can be inexpensive, but I've found that for a comfortable night's sleep the full wrap of a bag is far better than the
annoying cold spots you often get when you move around under a quilt, But I hate being confined in a mummy bag so the stretchness of the Montbell bags is a great solution. I can spread my legs apart or bend my knees and the bag stretches with me. 22oz is heavier than my quilt, but a few oz is worth it in this situation.
