Hi
We will be doing a 5-6 week cycle "plod" north to south france on mainly cycle rotues - not hardened tourers. We have pannier racks and pannier bags - but nothing to go "on top". So expect one bike to carry tent+mats; and one bike to carry sleeping bags.
Anyway, checked our sleeping bags which are good and new (doh!) but these are lightweight 850g "mummy" ones (L+R) which join together. Great for a weekend away, but not comfortable enough for 5-6 weeks.
We are wanting a square/rectangular double, 2 season (wife feels cold), but will pack down enough.
Seems our 850g ones are very light, and double are more like 3.5-3.8kg, and a lot more bulky 44cm x 30cm ish.. Knowing size & weight is important. AND 5-6 weeks sleeping is very important - any suggestions?

All above have good general reviews. (Happy to pay more within reason for better)
Thanks
