Anyone know of a very light sleeping bag for spring / early summer?
Once it's warm enough I will just use a thermal cover or just sleep in clothes but for this sort of time of year if prefer a bag.
I overheat when I sleep, so the 3/4 season one I use earlier in the year is too hot.
I brought a cheap jrc one (defender) last year as the only 2 season bags I could find was that one or a cheap fox but the foot space is terrible for sleeping on your back! Size 12 feet and just not enough room for them and end up sleeping at wierd angles.
Happy to pay whatever just don't seem to be many about.
Fortis techlite I keep looking at but that says 3 season with the layer removed so wondering if that would still be too hot.
Thank you

I usually just use the Snugpak Jungle Blanket in the summer, plenty warm enough.
Nice and small packed up aswell. I still use a bedchair cover for underneath though.

I use a Snugpak Navigator, but might be a bit small for you, though it can be unzipped down the side and bottom to use as a blanket.

Jungle bags are a really good bit of kit. Not great on their own under 10 degrees I've been caught out a few times. A mid May to mid October bag on there own I'd say

Bedchair cover does me.
And ffs leave some clothes on. No one wants to see a big white ass across the lake.

I've had a Gardner Crash bag for more years than I can remember and is perfect for spring and summer

TBH the best one was and god knows why they stopped making it ?? was the Trakker Snooze-Lite I bought one years ago for a Morocco fishing trip and it was brilliant
there must be a big market for this too ?

Thanks all, may get a jungle cover and see how that works out. The jungle bag looks good also but no retaining straps and that material I'd be worried about getting out of it quickly?
I did look at the Gardner crash bag as well but was again lack of retaining straps that put me off, I like everything to stay in its place when I get a night time run! From memory it only had a retaining hood at the top but nothing in the middle / bottom

Yeh I was really suprised at the lack of choice of light / 2 or 3 season bags.

Correct in regards to the hoods. I don't find it an issue but I do see the benefits of the other fittings as I have them on my Wychwood and Solar bags

Is that on a Bedchair wandle? Have heard of people using sim's underneath their bags for added comfort / warmth when on a Bedchair, a few people however said it makes them sweat / too warm?
What's the advantage of that one over a standard sort of sim which are £20-40 instead of £100?
