I tried one of those surplus wool blankets, and it was uncomfortably cold (This was spring btw.) It also seemed a bit too heavy for the amount of heat it provided.
I've seen one product which was an invention of a long distance hiker; he basically removed the part of the sleeping-bag you lay on, so you had the foam mat under you, and the weird modified bag over the other 3/4 of your body. It was bright neon green, and only available in America, so not an option.
What I am looking for is a reasonably light way to stay warm, that doesn't trap me in a cocoon if I have to gtfo quickly
look at ultra lighters. they use a quilt wich is just like half a sleeping bag. i made a down quilt last year and it is pretty good. packs down pretty small
