Hi, Earther,

I'm not easily cold but even in the summer I carry 250g sleeping bag (bought for 9,95€). If you plan to sleep in private accommodation I wouldn't bring such heavy sleeping bag as yours, maybe just a liner?

Buen Camino!

Well, all I can tell you is that I start a couple of weeks behind you, and I’m taking mine. This will be my fifth Camino - in the last four, I’ve taken my sleeping bag for three of them, and needed it about as many nights as I didn’t. Thst’s a fair few nights I would have been chilly without it...

It's my first Camino- I appreciate your thought and comment on this.
I guess the sleeping bag better get packed :)

Thanks again!

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I took my 2.1 lbs. (935g) sleeping bag when I walked the Camino Frances in Sept and Oct of 2015. I’m glad I did. I don’t sleep cold, but I liked having a known quantity to snuggle down into each night. It took some of the strangeness out of sleeping in a different bed each night. I know I slept better as a result. I’ll bring the same sleeping bag when I walk the CF again this coming Feb and Mar. Of course, then I’ll likely need it for warmth as well as the comfort factor.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
