Night temp for a sleeping bag liner

[sandy702]

I’m leaving in a week and the weather through the Meseta looks pretty cool at night 45 to 50°F. Is that too cold for a sleeping bag liner?

For me it is. When staying in albergues I always bring my lightweight sleeping bag. I can always unzip a portion if I am too warm, but I have rarely happened in April/May, but I don't have much extra meat on my bones.

Very personal as to preference. I have used my rain poncho as a cover over my silk liner bag in late June.

I definitely toss and turn in bed. I would have a poncho on the floor on no time

For me too and I always bring a sleeping bag if staying in an albergue, even in Summer. It really depends on personal preferences…. I have been really cold in O Cebreiro for instance and even used my sleeping bag inside a bed Oh and on the way to Finisterre too. Some people are just fine with a liner.

I always carry a sleeping bag. There’s few things more miserable than a miserable nights sleep

The answers to this question is as individual as you and I. Some of us sleep warm, some of us sleep cold. Which are you?

What temperature do you like at home, with only a sheet covering you?

I have completed CF and Le Puy camino with the liner only and worn fleece vest, long sleeved top and leggings to bed. Last October I completed the CF with two weeks of temperatures over 30. My cheap, lightweight 600 gm Decathlon sleeping bag was perfect. I took the liner as well. I used albergue blankets when available after the weather turned to rain. I would take my sleeping bag in summer if I did another camino.

Thank you! Agree 100%.

Thanks for all the comments. I knew I could count on the camino community

I would find it too cold but I sleep with a blanket when night time temperature is below 75F when at home.

For my first attempt at Camino Frances I am taking a lightweight sleeping bag and a liner with the idea as it gets warmer, I can ship the sleeping bag on if I don't need it. but would rather have too much than not enough!

I'm taking a lightweight sleeping bag, folds down into about the size of a small loaf of bread. I'm also going in May 2025. It weighs about 800grams so I'm hoping at some point (midway) to ship it ahead to Santiago. Buen Camino!
