I would encourage people to look at Snug Pak. We have 2 Merlins (rated to 45-32 (lowest) and the Jungle bag. Although not experts, we have used them in the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Mt. Ranier, the Olympic Peninsula and Acadia during summer and fall. They pack to an incredibly small size (about a cantalope) and are warm, and if I recall, not super expensive. I am hoping to use them for backpacking in the White Mountains this summer. I am curious why this brand doesn't get more reviews.

I use a Mountain Hardwear Lightpath...and it has worked splendidly in super hot and humid conditions. It ventilates very well, and can be set up "fastpitch" with just the fly and footprint.
On that subject has anybody found a warm weather tent-hot humid summer nights with heavy dew-- can't remove the rain fly and little air movement-the heck with 3 season tents I want a summer season tent
Re - Warm weather sleeping bags:
You should look at SnugPak - A Brit company. I just took delivery (haven't tried it yet) of their Jungle bag - rated 44F - 36F. It is longer than many @ 86", square foot, mummy top with removable mosquito screen, under 2 lb, rolls very small. I paid $75.90 for mine from OutdoorPros.com.
