Just my two cents: I’m also slated to start my trek from SJPDP to Roncesvalles on April 25 (maybe we’ll meet!). I’ve been monitoring the weather and temperatures in Roncesvalles, since that’s our first sleep, and I’ve made the decision to go with just a silk liner (sea to summit, I believe). I felt that the temps will only go up as we get into May, and I won’t be sleeping outside, but in an Albergue with lots of “others to provide heat”. I weighed all this with having to pack the weight and BULK of a bag that I may only use the first few nights. Hope this helps. Buen Camino, and I’ll see you in SJPDP!I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack. (I am 71) I will be starting at SJPdP on April 25th to Roncesvalles and forward. I was hoping on some advise as to whether I could get by with just a good liner (Sea to Summit cool max) or if I need to take my 40 degree F Marmot down bag. Thanks.
Some have real cloth sheets, but it's more normal to have disposable sheets.Does all Albergues provide sheet and pillow cases on the del Norte?
The Marmot weighs 26 ounces.A good question - as we often debate this one - really it depends upon what sort of spring it is .. April in 2005 was like a hot summer, a few years later there was snow right to Burgos! - so I think the weather forecast will be your best advice.
Your Marmot weighs nearly 5lbs doesn't it? You could compromise by using a Snugpak Jungle bag, rated to 45°F / 36°F (7°C / 2°C) and weighing just 32oz (900g). Packs really small too!
26 ounces? Really? That is only 750gms or so.The Marmot weighs 26 ounces.
We hav walked in snow in May before. I'm 71 and wouldn't think twice about taking a sleeping bag.I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack.

I walked April and May two separate years and I would have been way too cold in just liner.I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack.

I don’t know these , but I’d bring an ultra light down bag. I have one and used and appreciated it on 8 Caminos.I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack.

I will be leaving from SJPDP on April 17 and will be bringing my very light down sea to summit sleeping bag that only weighs 245 grams and packs really small I'll be hopefully staying mostly in municipal albergues when you never know how warm its going to be at night, I am also bringing a silk liner in case the sleeping bag gets too warm.I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack.

I will also be starting my Camino on April 25th from SJPdP and I am currently planning to bring both. Unless the forecast the week before is for very hot weather, I’m planning to pack both. I’m staying at a combination of albergues, pensions and hotels. Look forward to meet you on the Camino.I am finalizing my packing list for Frances, and do not want to over pack.

@David, the minus 40deg bag might be heavier, but the plus 40dec Marmot bags seem to weigh in around 2lbs.26 ounces? Really? That is only 750gms or so.
Ah, perhaps my mistake? I googled 40F Marmot down bag and that is what came up - that weight. Is your 26oz Marmot also a 40F down bag?
I'm also starting from SJPDP on April 17 but planning on only using silk liner. As my Macpac down jacket is longer than average ie half way between hips and knees (I'm very short, 5foot2) I figure I'll use that as well if I'm cold. However I'm interested to know how much your sleeping bag cost as it is very light and where u bought it please. Thanku kayI will be leaving from SJPDP on April 17 and will be bringing my very light down sea to summit sleeping bag that only weighs 245 grams and packs really small I'll be hopefully staying mostly in municipal albergues when you never know how warm its going to be at night, I am also bringing a silk liner in case the sleeping bag gets too warm.
