Light and compact, but warm?

Rating for this product: 3 February 20, 2009

I've been training for the Appalachian Trail for some time now, and I just can't seem to get the right sleeping bag. This bag works wonders when it comes to being light-weight and it compacts very well, but like all Lafuma sleeping bags, I was not entirely happy in the warmth department. I have a tendency to turn a lot in my sleep, and the bag did fairly well with keeping me warm, but my biggest complaint was in the bottom of the bag. Needless to say, my toes were freezing on both occasions when sleeping in the bag, and the temps weren't even in the 30s.

I've been training for an AT NOBO thru-hike, and I can't tell you how much this pack has totally rocked. Sure, there are bigger packs out there designed to carry heavier loads, but you're not going to want to carry over 40 lbs on a hike like the AT. With a week's worth of food, 4 liters of water, all my equipment and a compacting chair, the pack weighs 38 lbs.
