I am trying to figure out the sleeping bag situation for the camino. I bought a sleep sack and did a trial run by sleeping in my house. I used a silk liner inside the sleep sack....I was freezing. I tested the sack in October and it was much warmer in my house back then than it is now. I returned the sleep sack to REI and got a new sleeping bag. This time I got a Marmot Maverick 30. It is supposed to be warmer, but it is really bulky even with the compession bag. I have a hard time sleeping in a cocoon type bag since I am a side sleeper. Right now, the new bag is STUFFED in the bottom section of my backpack. (Weighs almost 4 pounds though) I CANNOT use a down bag because I am allergic to it. I cannot afford to spend a fortune on a bag either. I am curious if any other "allergic"people have found a decent bag to use in the springtime on the camino.....or if anyone else has used THIS bag on the camino and what their experience was.
