I wish Arc'teryx made their Atom series as a top end sleeping bag. At my old work place it was basically part of the uniform because it was such an awesome jacket. Heck I think one of our employees had two or three different ones (a vest and two jackets LT and SV) or if Sea To Summit would put some synthetic bags on the market. They make some über light stuff using exploitation but talking to Barry (their rep and also Ask Boz) when he came by the shop I frequently mentioned they should go for a synth bag.
Surprised that you don't like sleeping pads, my back can't handle without it. That is why I love hammocks so much. Pads are also so crucial for insulating so maybe you could take a warmer weather bag.
We have a few hammocks! Both Enos. We sleep comfortable in our double nest. We use an underquilt with it along with our REI Mojave +15 bag but most nights the bag stays open. Too warm combined with the underquilt.
I'll check out the bag!
From a short tour we did in September 2016 (Portland to Eugene!)

Still, this is a great lightweight sleeping bag that is very appropriate for touring when nights don't fall below 40 degrees.
I'm in the market for a 0 or 10 degree bag for winter touring.
I don't think that would work! We're doing the Southern Tier next month. Not quite warm enough for that. But thank you for the suggestion.
