I agree with previous poster, a SOL bivy probably won't give you a 20 degree swing.


Thats good to know. Im going to be backpacking to Hidden Lake and doing a loop that goes around Toxaway lake in the Hidden Lake Area. I looked at the oct avg temps for Stanely. I wonder if I add a Sea to Summit reactor to the set up. Im just trying to avoid buying a 400 sleeping bag. I have a 0 degree Marmot Trestle I use for car camping but it weighs too much
