NC500 this September, mostly camping...
Option 1
Domex down sleeping bag - warm (3-season), reasonably compact.
Option 2
Snugpak Travelpak 4 synthetic sleeping bag - warm (4-season), quite bulky.
Option 3
Snugpak Jungle Bag synthetic sleeping bag (2-season) + Sea To Summit Reactor synthetic liner (or its ilk)- possibly warm enough, very compact.
Either option will be atop an Exped SynMat 9LW, and thermal base layers will also be in the pannier if needed.
Tent is a Vango Mistral 200, with a Vango footprint.
Leaning toward option 3 - the bulk of the Travelpak 4 really eats up a lot of space.
What say ye?
