    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    My cousin is planning a Camino Frances for February, starting February 1. How cold does it get inside the albergues in winter? What level sleeping bag would he need? Given the scarce accommodations in wintertime the plan is for him to have at the very least a sleeping bag and sleeping pad...

    Sleeping sac - I'm looking for the lightest

    I'm looking for suggestions on the lightest sleep "sac" I can use on the Camino. 1. I never get cold at night (if cold, I wear extra clothes). 2. I never walk the Camino in winter. 3. Right now, I use a flannel sheet folded in half and sewn at the bottom and even that is too heavy. Any...

    Blankets 2023

    Hi, New member here. Curious whether the hostels provide blankets, as a sleeping bag would increase my weight a lot. I am confused by conflicting information, so thanks in advance.

    Liner sleeping bag on the Camino Sureste

    Dear Forum members, I will be walking the Camino Sureste between 24th September and 20th October and I am not sure if a liner sleeping back would be enough considering the warm weather along the route.

    Packing List : What to sleep in and on ?

    First time on the Frances : Will be walking in the shoulder season - What to bring sleep wise ? I get easily hot while sleeping. I bought a sleep liner and find it too confining. I cant get in and out of it easily. I hate it actually. So I went to work and I cut it open, now its like a wide...

    Sleeping bag versus puffy blanket

    There are endless posts here about sleeping bags, I know. But they mostly seem to be weighing the pros and cons of a sleeping bag versus a sleeping bag liner. I, on the other hand, am weighing the pros/cons of a sleeping bag versus a puffy blanket (or whatever you choose to call it). A blanket...

    Down quilt

    I’ve read posts about using a small down quilt inside a liner, which seems like a great idea. Where can these be purchased? Any brand recommendations? What size? Thank you!

    How cold in October?

    Hello! I'll be walking the Camino Frances from SJPDP to Finisterre, starting around the 20th of September. So most of my way will be in October. Let me preface this by saying, I'm a dive instructor in the Caribbean, I live on my sailboat year round with no AC. I'm no stranger to cold weather...

    Sleeping bag or Klymit blanket on CF in fall?

    Hoping to walk the CF mid Sept -late Oct. Planning to stay in auberges most nights. As a "woman of a certain age," I am a very hot sleeper. The idea of being stuffed into a sleeping bag is oppressive. Was thinking of bringing a liner and something like a Klymit Versa blanket for better...

    Is a sleeping bag liner sufficient next week?

    I’ve read that a sleeping bag is mandatory now in albergues and that a liner is not sufficient. Also is it true that albergues are no longer supplying blankets? While on the subject, is it warm at night on the Portuguese coastal at the moment? We will begin in Porto next Tuesday and it’s...

    Sleeping bag or silk liner

    Hi, four of us are starting out from St. Jean next Thursday 9th June to walk the Frances once more. We’ll be staying in the albergue in Roncevalles on Thursday night and are wondering whether we need lightweight sleeping bags rather than our ultralight silk liners. I can’t recall whether...

    Heat in Albergues in 2022 - Do I need sleeping bag?

    Planning a trip on the Del Norte in September/October 2022. With the geopolitical fuel price situation as it is would you expect to need a warm sleeping bag, or would a 500 gram liner work as it has in the past?

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    I’m planning the CF, SJPdP to Santiago staring early September, hopefully finishing in Finisterre or Muxia mid to end October. I hate being too hot or too cold! I’m debating the eternal liner or lightweight sleeping bag question. I’m expecting it to be probably hot at the start, but much...
