Lightweight sleeping bag and pad

[Dustin Chromers]

I'm wanting to use a dual sport bike to get back to my trout fishing roots and camp. There have been lots of development in sleeping gear since I last bought. My requirements are comfort, small size, and reasonable durability. What's the pieces the membership here really like.

I use an Exped inflatable pad at 16 oz for the last 11 years. Mrs. Salmo has one by Big Agnes that is a couple oz. lighter and 1/4" thicker. Lightest and least bulky sleeping bag is not a bag, but a quilt like those by Enlightened camping gear. Mrs. Salmo has a 20* at about 18 oz. Doesn't get much lighter and smaller than these.

I will never use a bag again. EE quilt is perfect. Pair it with an XLite for a comfortable 30oz solution for 3 seasons.
