I'm leaving SJPP June 20 - my dilemna is whether to take a 50 degree Lafuma sleeping bag or a endura silk bag. Reviewing temperature data, nights will be in the 50's. When I think about refuges in old stone buildings, open windows and I like to be warm. . . may have answered by own queston. However, I would like to hear from a few others with June-July Camino Frances experience.

I have walked el camino in May, June, July, end of August, September and have only ever taken a silk sleep liner. The majority of albergues have blankets and, if not, dress in layers. The albergues warm up quickly when pilgrims are sleeping and snoring in one room!
