Reccomendations for ultra light/portable sleeping bags?

[Law]

Can anyone reccomend me a ultra portable sleeping bag? Preferably one in natural colours like olive green or camo.

Any ideas?

*Edit... Are sleeping mats essential? Could I just layer some heather beneath me for comfort/insulation? I'll be sleeping under a lean-to shelter (no tent).

Insulation is better under than over, just sit on a cold door step for a few minutes. When I am trying to travel light I take a highlander light weight FOIL may (reflects cold away from under and your heat back at you).

What season? . Snugpak do a great range of bags from the jungle bag right up to to the Antarctica. I have a softie 3 merlin which weighs 1kg (not superlight ) but more versatile and cheaper than a down bag in the short term . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/snugpak-softie-3-merlin-olive-/261470574515?pt=UK_SportingGoods_SleepingBags_SM&hash=item3ce0dc57b3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vango-Venom-300-Down-Sleeping-Bag-Lightweight-DofE-2-3-Season-Grasshopper-/271413794222?pt=UK_SportingGoods_SleepingBags_SM&hash=item3f3185d5ae http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vango-Venom-300-Sleeping-Bag-Display-Model-with-Tags-RRP-140-Grasshopper-/141272714316?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_HikingCamping_Ten ts_JN&hash=item20e4828c4c
There's also the Highlander Ranger light bags but they are quite narrow at 75cm.
I have a Vango venom 300 also its a great little bag but bright yellow lol Vango do a venom 300 in green though . http://www.milletsports.co.uk/more-sports/outdoor/sleeping-bags/vango-venom-300-sleeping-bag/?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=organic&gclid=COfihJbfkL4CFc6WtAodngMALg

I tend to sleep warm so a good roll mat (Thermarest) and a ex-army gortex bivi bag and for the colder nights a snugpak jungle bag used as a blanket. I put the mat inside the bivi bag and then cover the top of me (inside the bivi as well) with the snugpak. If I know the ground is likely to be wet then I take a ground sheet as well to sleep on. But as others have/will say everyone is different and your need to find out whats best for you.

You could get by with natural materials for insulation, but it will take some time to gather all you need. If you decide to go down that route, don't be conservative with your improvised mat...pile on a thick layer (no less than 31 cm), which will gradually compress down to 15 cm over the course of a few nights, depending on what materials you use. Most prefer sleeping mats because they are quick to set up (no fumbling around with ferns or browse), you can take them with you wherever you go, and they are more comfortable for the weight compared to natural materials. The downside is that they take up space in our on the outside of your pack.
Above anything else, comfort is essential, no matter what you choose ;).

Season rating?
Budget?

I would say don't skimp on either of these. It's your time of rest and recuperation when you're in the bag and on the ground. You would be surprised how quickly the heat is sapped from you and waking up shivering and sore is not pleasant. It will make the difference of a good trip or a great trip! I use a snugpak 4 season and an inflatable thermarest.

Season rating dependant on time of year/temp' and a foam mat, thicker the better (i have had too many inflatables puncture in the night to trust them any more)
