Sea to Summit TR1 - 390gms. Can be used as a bag or unzipped to a blanket, very small pack size
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
For years I carried a Marmot Pounder Plus.
Then I bought a down bag and removed the zipper and hood.
Now it is a down blanket.
 
I will be taking a Double Black Diamond duvet blanket, currently available at amazon.com for Us$60 (I bought mine at Costco for 30C$ during the holidays!). I took it to my seamstress who added snapbottons in case I want to use it closed.

Oh, please don't destroy it.... It looks so beautiful when it is new! (Of course I have the same one). Just be aware they are popular - but also good (in the warm months, or combined with the blanket from the albergue).

I've treated mine to a silk liner from Decathalon too. Perhaps the felt-tip pen is a bit harsh for brand new bag. I'll have to think of something else to make it my own.................

Oh that's wonderful! Now we have the same sleeping bags I am glad I could be useful.

Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The Canadian dollar has been going down the drain for months now, so these are the prices we pay for imported good. Trouble is that when the dollar is skyhigh even higher than the US$ prices barely drop. Excuses: there is inventory paid at a higher price to get rid of, it's expensive to change pricing in computer systems, labels, etc. Truth: we as consumers have already shown what we are willing to pay, so why lower prices. You should see what we pay for gas and cars!
 
What one can buy for $50-$70 range are synthetic bags. The expensive bags on the list are down bags with 200-500g weight category. Of course reduced weight comes at a premium. At least one has several choices depending on the budget and comfort needs.
