From May to September my local nightly averages are above 50 degrees (F). However my highest temperature rated sleeping bag is 30F and is overkill in such temps! So, I've been putting some thought into lightweight options for summer sleeping… From reviewing prior posts on the boards I've learned about the following options:

Option 1) a traditional mummy bag lightly filled with a bit of high loft down (e.g. Montbell's 40-50F bag)

Option 2) a lightly filled down quilt (e.g. JRB Shenandoah)

Option 3) a synthetic quilt (e.g. BPL UL 60 quilt, or MLD offering)

Option 4) high loft clothing (such as BPL's UL 60 pants and parka) skipping the bag/quilt altogether

In these temps, what above option(s) do you use?
Why do you use, what you use?
Do you use something other than the above?
