Space blankets are getting into the weight obsessive category for me. Have you considered adding a silk sleeping bag liner? In July that's usually all I need, then I pull out my down bag if it's unexpectedly chilly. A space blanket may work to keep me warm, but I don't think it would keep me comfortable, especially night after night. I do know adventure racers that use the heavier space blankets, but they are really just napping. I guess the plastic bag feeling is just not cuddly enough for my nights
