What’s your go-to sleeping bag for 35+ F degree temp ranges? Reviews keep pushing me towards Western Mountaineering but geez they are pricey. Especially coming from an Aegismax $90 bag that has performed quite well but that’s just a little too cold for me in the early spring mornings.

Member Since 201721 Verified ScoreI was going to suggest the Western Mountaineering FlyLite that I reviewed. It packs down so small, but dishes up enough warmth to be comfortable down to 35F. The Therm-a-Rest Vesper quilts are popular (32F/0C), as are the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 25F sleeping bags. I've also used the Sea to Summit Spark series with success, and folks speak highly of Feathered Friends. Whatever you end up getting, compare specs and fill power, so you know it'll pack down small for bikepacking.

The Vesper was a solid choice! For the price, I think that was a good move. I've had one for many years and have a ton of nights in it. My Western Mountaineering bag is warmer, but it doesn't pack down as small. Both are well made.
