Sleeping bag weight

Curious to see what the results are on this. Just picked up a new bag, little heavier than I would prefer but it was a good deal. Klymat 0 synthetic for 98 bucks if anyone is in the market..

the weights are relative to cold rating. A summer bag is going to be far lighter than a winter bag.

I have an older Marmot Down 30 degree bag. Weighs 1# 11oz. I use this bag for everything from 60's into single digits. Different layers on depending on temp drop

I HAVE 2 Feathered Friends bags. One 20 degree bag (2-3 lbs) for most of my backpacking/hunting and one -20 bag (4-5 lbs) for when things are expected to be VERY cold.

I run a 26oz 20degree quilt
For cold or wet weather, I run a 7oz custom bivy.
Pad is 16oz r4.2

For cold/wet I run that combo and stay very comfortable with a merino base layer bottom and shirt at 15 degrees.  Total setup is 3lbs 5 oz with the sacks included.

Summer camping, I ditch the bivy and run a cuben ground sheet at 3 oz.  Though I always keep the bivy in my pack just incase weather rolls in or it gets colder than expected.  At only 7 oz its worth carrying it for me.   

I went through a few different setups before landing on this and it works perfect for me and all my hunting situations.

I have two, a light quilt and a heavy winter GoreTex down bag.  I haven't weighted either, the former weighs next to nothing and the latter I would carry even if it weighed 20 pounds.

I use a 15* Marmot Helium that weighs about 2lbs for pretty much everything. When it gets cold I use a liner and wear my long underwear and a beanie. I love that sleeping bag.

I use an EE quilt, supposed to be 0 degree but I get cold, so i just wear my under clothes to bed and stay warm.  Hate sleeping in clothes and socks but it works.

Sleeping bag is one of those areas that I will gladly carry an extra pound of weight or so to stay warm.  Im personally not a fan of down for sleeping bags.

Love my kifaru slick bag but it does weigh almost 3 pounds

Yeah I seem to have a bit of an allergy to down and checked it off the list from the get go. Sounds like it works well for most people unless it gets wet
