So after spending the last 7 days and nights in some of the coldest weather I have camped in and sleeping on the ground when the temperatures are hitting the teens and my water bottles are freezing I am thinking I want to get a new light weight sleeping bag that can keep me warm in sub 20 degree weather. I love my military gore-tex bivy sack to death but it weighs 2.5 lbs so I am looking at trying to get rid of it all together or find something equivalent that weighs less. I have a 1lb nylon bivy with a mesh face area but it just creates way too much condensation, for some reason my gore-tex one does not and it has a flap lid so I don't feel all closed in with it, just flip it open and watch the stars.
Anybody have any personal, real world advice for a light weight down bag for sub 20 degree weather and a better light weight water proof bivy or another way to stay warm with little weight? I would prefer the sleeping bag weigh less than 2lbs and be tough enough to withstand the desert environment. I have heard there may be some type of sleeping bag with down/gorte-tex and can be thrown down onto the ground and used as is, that sounds pretty good if the total weight is 4lbs or less.
TIA..!!
