flavespoWhat Thedudeabidesman said. This is also it's why a lot of ground-sleeping tent/tarp hikers are also turning to quilts instead of bags - why pack the extra weight when whatever portion of your sleeping bag that's directly under you is just going to get compressed to nearly no R value. Most of your underside R-value with either sleep system is going to come from your pad (for ground-sleepers and some hammock campers) or your underquilt (hammock campers). Many hikers of both kinds are finding that they're just as comfy with a snug-able top-quilt with an adjustable footbox (like this one: http://www.hammockgear.com/burrow-10/) as they are with a full bag, and ditching the extra weight.
