in my experience, the sleeping bag is only a small bit of the equation - for the bag the main thing being that you are working with a narrow optimal temp rating with as you don't want to overheat and sweat in your bag, but you obviously don't want to run cold either. If I were still bivvying I'd opt for a light sleeping bag but keep down top and bottoms even in shoulder seasons so you can modulate for changing weather
Have you optimised everything else in the system? Have breeze and ventilation to sleep through, have sun on you when you wake up, keep any sweaty or damp clothes outside the bivvy
All in all, I find bivvies only useful for competitive stuff and really mini sleeps, and not for any real touring. Some condensation is inevitable, and I end up spending more time drying things out and maintaining gear

Did you have the bivvy open or closed?

Hey guys,
I've recently bought à BivyBag that condensate a LOT during nighttime. My sleeping bag being an old nothing-fancy-decathlon.
any recommandation for a quality+ lightweight, compact, breathable sleeping bag compatible with the BivyBag experience ?
I've heard I should go with synthetic fabric and not a fluffy one or something ?
It would be used pretty much only during summer, and a tiny bit in-between seasons (but I can always add a liner or put some clothes on).
