I have a 15 degree bag that I roast in when the weather is above freezing (including Desolation Wilderness trip last weekend where temps never got to freezing). So I got a sweet deal on a Stoic Somnus 30 degree bag on Gear Trade. I slept in it on Saturday night in 50 degree temps and loved it for my side sleeping style and 185 pounds. My question is how far you can push a 30 degree bag if wearing all of the following:
1. Short smartwool socks (over ankle just a bit)
2. Light North Face polyester bottoms (4.5 ozs)
3. Short sleeve t (4 ozs)
4. 1/4 zip North Face Light baselayer top (5.5 ozs)
5. Stoic hooded Hadron pullover (8.3 ozs)
6. Fleece Beanie (.75 ozs)
I bring these items for Sierra trips anyway, so I wouldn't have to bring any extra gear if these items are sufficient. I am hoping I would be moderately comfortable to 25 degrees or so. That would allow me to use this lighter bag for partial shoulder and summer trips in the Sierras. Does that sound reasonable? I consider myself a moderate to warm sleeper temp wise.
Thanks for the help!
Paul
