I use a silk sleep sack and a very small down blanket - I cut a larger blanket down to be the same size as the sleep sack. I tuck the blanket inside the sleep sack on cool/cold nights.Do i need a sleeping bag on the French route in September? What can be a good alternative? Would a silk liner be enough? I will appreciate any ideas and your experience to help me decide. Thanks.
Every thing apart from the boots This is known as going to bed " Horse Fashion " where I come fromAlso consider what layers of clothes you can wear inside whatever sleeping/bag/blanket/liner you choose.
I used a Kammok Bobcat 45. Expensive but extremely lightweight, packs down to nothing and warm. It’s also something you can use at home after the Camino. I carried a silk liner but never used it.Do i need a sleeping bag on the French route in September? What can be a good alternative? Would a silk liner be enough?

I brought a Naturehike compact sleeping bag in April 2018. This time round I am going in end September, I gonna bring a polar fleece sleeping bag liner instead. Since we will be sleeping in albergues not outdoor, I think it should be warm enough.Do i need a sleeping bag on the French route in September? What can be a good alternative?

I would need something more than a silk liner. If you decide against the sleeping bag, do you have a down jacket or vest with you? Thermal underwear? Look at all your clothing to determine how you could layer up at night.Do I need to bring one from 22nd of April until 11th of May? I have to choose between bringing none (meaning only a silk liner) or a 1.8 kg sleeping bag I have here. If you had to choose between the two, what would you do in that period?
I use a lightweight sleeping bag in spring and sometimes still have needed to wear my fleece to bed. I actually choose to sleep in my clean clothes when I stay in albergues so I make sure they are very comfortable and that the fabrics have some "give" in them.Also consider what layers of clothes you can wear inside whatever sleeping/bag/blanket/liner you choose.
