I sleep outside quite a lot, probably 25 days a year minimum, at least 10 of those in bivvys. Almost all in the UK. I've got one of these bags and it's almost always too warm but I like to know I can go out on colder nights in confidence. I've got the alpkit nemo matt and I absolutely love it and the hunka bivvy which is entirely fine. I try not to go out in awful conditions but it has happened a few times and I've survived without maximum discomfort. Basically, buy some reasonable stuff and you'll have a lovely time. It's like bikes - you can spend endless time and money looking for the top performer with the specs you've always dreamt of. Or you can go to Decathlon, get something entirely serviceable and get out on the roads having a wonderful time...
