sleeping bag

I plan to walk the Vézelay route in June. I am hearing conflicting advice reagarding the sleeping bag. For some, it is just indispensable, the single most important item in the backpack. For others, it is just redundant, the single heaviest item that can simply be replaced by a light-weight silk...

I am planning to walk the Camino this year, late August into September. I have a couple of questions. First footwear. I have never been able to wear hiking boots, trail runners etc. I have tried all kinds and they simply don't work for me. I am planning on walking in sneakers. I have hiked...

I am planning my Camino for mid April 2017 I will be using the French route. my question is sleeping bag? bug resistant bag liner, sleeping pad. weight is a major concern. so is daily distance. this could be a long trek. what do I need? what can I do with out? I am thinking a 10c/50f sleeping...

I am walking the Camino Frances at the end of May for the first time. I weighed my pack yesterday and it was 19llbs! My sleeping bag alone is 4llbs, so that is the first thing that needs changing! I have been looking online and I have discovered sleeping quilts (new to me!). I really like...

Yes. I'm starting another thread on this subject. I apologize ;) I do not know yet when I will be able to leave and do the Camino Francés, but I would like to do it in July/August. I have a sleeping bag (7C/45F) and a liner, but using only a liner irks me a little bit, since it is very thin and...

Hi all fellow pilgrims and walkers. As you all know by now I will be doing the Primitivo in September. Now I was wondering if a liner would be sufficient. Found this one here and I would like your opinions on this...

Hello everyone! I am planning on going on the Camino the last week of April through May. What temperature sleeping bag do you suggest I take? I want to pack as lightweight as possible of course, and was wonder if a 55F would be heavy enough? Any suggestions? Thank you!

Is it any requirements for the sleeping bag at this time of year? I want to buy a cheap, light, summer sleeping bag. Or do i need to find one for three seasons?

I need a lightweight sleeping bag with a small pack size. Any recommendations?

I am walking from end May thru June from StJPdP and am planning to stay 50% Albergues and 50% pensions & small hotels (so I can get some sleep) So I am considering going without a sleeping bag because; 1) I sleep warm 2) I have a good liner that I use, silk 3) I am comfortable sleeping in a base...

I am trying to figure out the sleeping bag situation for the camino. I bought a sleep sack and did a trial run by sleeping in my house. I used a silk liner inside the sleep sack....I was freezing. I tested the sack in October and it was much warmer in my house back then than it is now. I...

Hi All! Being the OCD lightweight packer I am, I'm in the process of accumulating my camino gear, even though I'll be starting at the beginning of October. I only plan to do about 3 weeks worth (100-200km from Pamploma, bus to Ponferrada or Sarria, and continue on to Santiago), and most likely...

Hello! I will be walking the Camino Frances from 4th April to 13th May in 2016. I have trouble choosing the right sleeping bag to take with me to the Camino. What kind of temperatures to expect during the spring at night? Will all of the albergues provide blankets? I have one light sleeping...

How light a bag would be adequate for albergues in April and May. I am not strong, looking for the lightest possible. Any specific recommendations?

Necessary for a May/June walk with the intention to use albergues rather than other accommodations where possible???? I sleep cold so I take one even in July, but my kids are hot sleepers so they have been fine with two silk liners in the past on other routes, but I don't want them to freeze if...

Hi all, I'm planning to walk the Camino France's next Sept/Oct and I'm not sure which sleeping bag to take. I have two, one is down and rated to -5 Celsius and the other synthetic fibre rated to +5 Celsius. What is the heating like in the Albuerges? Am I better to take the down just in case...

I plan to do the Camino starting in late April 2016. I have been advised to go with a silk sleeping bag liner instead of carrying the extra weight of a sleeping bag. Apparently the silk keeps you warm enough. Would appreciate other thoughts on this option.

Hey everyone, how are the conditions in Galicia right now, is it cold enough to bring a sleeping bag? Is it raining alot? Thanks for the help, buen camino

I will be walking the Camino towards the end of September and through October. How warm of a sleeping bag is needed for this time of year? I know that not all of the pilgrim refuges are heated, yet I still want to try to carry a lightweight sleeping bag. Thank you!! :)
