Actually, I don't either! You are right; the daytime temperatures were 43C. It did cool down a little once the sun went down., but was still very warm.
I have a PrimaLoft synthetic bag, rated at 25F, that weighs less than 2 lbs: Marmot "Pounder Plus". Mine is a long, and it pack pretty small.
My sleeping bag is in the green compression sack, which packs down smaller than the blue sack containing my tent.
I also come from a mountaineering background, and have gone exclusively to synthetics. Even my insulated jacket and pants are PrimaLoft. My down bag has not been used in years
