New lightweight kit from Patagonia

Hhmmm…..  40 g/m is pretty thin.  The video does state ‘warm weather bag’.

Good to see Patagonia getting into the game.

Agreed its a good start.

40g is 1.4osy insulation. For comparison, Simply Light Designs rates their 2.5oz at 50*. This would put the 1.4oz at a 60* bag??? can that even be called a sleeping bag? I guess it would work in the south during summer.

SLD’s 2.5 apex bag is 14.8oz and $145 for comparison. Not really sure what market the Patagonia serves.

Moving in the right direction though, so thats always good.

Hmm.  No sleepwear on the site.  They did make a shortie bag years ago, heavier but more durable.

Looks like an updated, improved version of the old Sonntique bag I used for summer climbing in the Cascades.  It weighed a pound back then, but packed down small and was adequate for summer climbing when temperatures were usually in the high 30s-low 40s at night.
