Cheap Light Summer Sleeping Bag

[treillw]

Want to get a couple cheap sleeping bags for my parents to use backpacking in the summer in Montana. 40 degree rating should be adequate, with fingers crossed that it doesn't decide to snow. Don't want to spend a ton and the lighter the better. 2 pounds or less would be nice, but I guess I could live with 3. A quilt would work.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

What you say you don’t want to spend a ton, what does that mean to you?

$200 or less would be nice.

$100 would be better.

Don't know what is achievable.

Hammock Gear has 40 degree quilts for under $200 that weigh 16-20 ounces depending on size. They have a 15% earth day sale going on too.

Enlightened equipment does too for that matter. Pretty workable in that budget and temp range. Lot of options out there.

If you want the cheapest, take a look at Decathalon products. I think their availability in the states is fairly recent. Bargain basement prices, but quality is severly lacking. The synthetics from Nemo are also in your price range and of much higher quality.

My $0.02 = Snugpak jungle bag. 2#. $80. Super durable. Opens up to a decent blanket. I have slept in mine from the Grand Canyon to a bunch of airport terminals. Temp rated to 40* but I have pushed it to the 30s with some layers. There are lighter options, but this one is a lot of bag for the buck IMO.

For summer car camping in AZ I use a Nemo Tempo 50°. I think it was like $100 and awesome quality.

I haven't used either of these models, but have had good experiences with both brands. Both options are under 2lbs and on sale for less than $115 each.
