I know someone that did, intentionally instead of taking a sleeping bag. He said, never again he was cold uncomfortable and didn't really get any sleep.

Why, you can get lightweight sleeping bags that weight 1.5 lbs? My montbell ul ss#3 packs down super small and is very comfortable.

i have one. yet to use it. i also have a mountain laurel designs bivy that weighs less and has more capabilities, bug netting over head and a line that pulls the netting away from face if needed, or just lay in it like the sol. bugs are gnarly this year so just a thought, good luck.

My quilt is 22oz. Light is light, but there's always lighter. And you know how this shit goes.

this bivy is good with a sleeping bag maybe a little bit tight at the feet.
