Thank you. Gosh, I do realise that it's really up to me, as most of the comments imply. My sleeping bag weighs 600g which is why I'd rather leave it behindClick on the tag "sleeping bag" that has been placed under the title at the top of the post. You will get the whole range of opinions, and can pick the one that suits you!
Thank you. Gosh, I do realise that it's really up to me, as most of the comments imply. My sleeping bag weighs 600g which is why I'd rather leave it behind. But now I'm rethinking that.......
Thank you tomnorth. I like " It was comforting at the end of the day to slip into my own......"My sleeping bag weighs 768g. I walked the CF in the fall of 2015 with it. I’d bring it again. It was comforting at the end of the day to slip into my own sleeping bag.
My pack weighed roughly 7kg when I did the Primitivo in 2019, without my sleeping bag. I'm planning on taking pretty much the same items this time. I don't think I can leave anything outThat's quite a light weight bag. The lightest I could find for my own use, by way of comparison was 463 gms.
How heavy is your pack overall?
Maybe leave something else out?
463gms - which bag are you using if you don't mind me asking, please?That's quite a light weight bag. The lightest I could find for my own use, by way of comparison was 463 gms.

I totally missed the point that this was about sleeping bags463gms - which bag are you using if you don't mind me asking, please?
The 463 gms is my sleeping bag.On my upcoming Primitivo I will be testing a pack from the Skalmo outdoor gear line from Northern Sweden. They are really light and made for bad weather hiking in the area.
The Sarek - Ilforsen 40L backpack (30 to 48 liters) for example weighs between 320 and 420 gms depending on the material you chose.
I never went that light, will find out if it will be robust enough for how I treat my gear ;-)
I’ve had the same question, Thermolite plus silk sleep bag. I’ve just bought a new sleeping bag, Mont Zero 230, not cheap but will be worth it & ‘comforting’ at the end of the day. I start from Seville at end March & expect some cool nights.463gms - which bag are you using if you don't mind me asking, please?
Thanks Robo, I'll have to reassess - I will take the sleeping bag, so something will have to goMaybe take another look. My bag is 6.5 kg all up including sleeping bag.
Not including food and water. But it includes 800 gms + of medical gear I need.
My wife's is about 5.5 kg.....
You can always leave stuff out.....
Haha, I was totally in the wrong movieThe 463 gms is my sleeping bag.
i Would never use a ‘pack’ that light.
mine is 1.3 kgs
I like the structure, airspeed back, we’ll padded straps and hip belt…..
I walked from Seville starting in March and was glad to have my down sleeping bag. Some nights were quite cold. Plus, with spring rains, plentiful as they were the year I walked, it felt even colder. And the further north you get, the cooler the temperatures. March isn’t summer in that part of the country yet.I’ve had the same question, Thermolite plus silk sleep bag.

Thank you! When I did the Primitivo I took my top and bottom thermal set + my thermolite + my silk liner. I only used the thermals a couple of times. I'm considering that combo again as it would save me roughly 200g in weight.Instead of a sleeping bag or quilt, consider whether a thermal top and bottom set would work sufficiently for colder nights (inside the liner) in May; they should weigh significantly less. Your jacket and/or poncho could form the top ‘blanket’.
I have a cut-down down quilt, but different things work for different people….
Hi Leslie,Ruchira, I am are also doing the CP - from Lisbon - leaving May 14 and are also thinking of just a silk liner with a thermolite one inside it instead of my down 7 degree celsius sleeping bag which was mostly too warm on previous caminos. Also thinking of a small down blanket which others have suggested - 7 weeks to decide! Bom Caminho
Thanks roving_rufus. I'm reconsidering all options (againIn May on the CP (no mountains) I too would be tempted by the thermolite plus silk liner (I have and love my thermolite) but only if I had some warm layers in my pack. If I was on a higher altitude route in May I would definitely take a sleeping bag but on the CP i would maybe roll the dice.
You and your wife are an inspiration!! 5.5kg......Maybe take another look. My bag is 6.5 kg all up including sleeping bag.

LOL I was referring to the sleeping bag as I knew Rob was from Australia and sometimes UL equipment can be hard to find for us and there is always new stuff coming out on the market. Watching grams is huge for me as I have some bone degeneration in my upper back hence the importance. Buen CaminoI totally missed the point that this was about sleeping bagsNevertheless I will leave my original reply : On my upcoming Primitivo I will be testing a pack from the Skalmo outdoor gear line from Northern Sweden.

I have the same sleeping bag as Robo, the Sea to Summit TR I, and my pack is 550g.Haha, I was totally in the wrong movie… sorry.
I habe various backpacks, but for anything below 7 kg I do not need the heavier ones. Those I reserve for 15 kg or 30 kg. However this lightweight as I am trying now is a first for me.
