It also takes up the most space in your bag, so getting the right bag for the season is important.\u00a0 I already have both a Therm-A-Rest 0\u00b0 and 20\u00b0 bag, but since I have been living full time in the desert I needed something lighter.\u00a0 In the summer and early fall in the desert the temps are high and they can dip from the 60s to the 40s at night. Yup even though the daytime high in October might be 80\u00b0 the nights are cold, the temps drop quick once the sun goes down in the desert. I&#8217;ve had the Space Cowboy for 6 months now and during the warm times of the year it is a 1 pound 4 ounce dream machine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-944 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1120996-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"836\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1120996-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1120996-1-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1120996-1.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While it packs small, it is a full size bag when out of the stuff sack. You have plenty of room for sleeping, but be careful of how cold it will be at night. I pair this with the Therm-A-Rest\u00a0 Neoair Uberlight for a super small bikepacking setup. In the summer it is perfect, if you are pushing the seasons just keep in mind you are going to have a cold night if it is in the 40s.\u00a0 Heck even if you all your layers on, it can be a cold one! I have used this down to 45, but I had ultralight down pants and a down coat on, my feet were freezing &#8211; I should have brought booties. But on 55\u00b0 and higher nights you&#8217;ll be super comfortable.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-945\" src=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1130202-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"881\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1130202-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1130202-1-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/L1130202-1.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 881px) 100vw, 881px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This is great for your lightweight backpacking setup for warm nights.
