Marmot Arete Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Down
This bag is siiiiiiick.

Ranked #484 - 55 to 30 Degree Down Bags

I just got back from a 13.5 day thru-hike of the John Muir Trail. We had a few nights in the low 30's and I was fine on just a tarp with socks and midweight long underwear top and bottom. The best part about this bag is that you can go full mummy but vent your feet a little to prevent overheating. I would suggest buying a Sea to Summit (size small) compression bag to get this bag down to the size of a quart of ice cream.
