Lightweight Sleeping Bags and Sleep Systems Worth Packing

The best lightweight sleeping bags and sleep systems should pack down reasonably, stay warm enough for the conditions, and still feel comfortable enough that you want to use them on the next trip.

PTG’s current sleep coverage already gives a few strong entry points. Start with the Zenbivy Ultralight Quilt + Sheet System review, the REI Camp Dreamer Double review, and the wider camping gear archive.
