Never been in Sweden with my sleepingbag, but in my country when gets cold I do sleep with some ColdGear UnderArmour's, and it works magic !

Any thoughts on that ?

On B8 I was sleeping in an extreme 0° sleeping bag with cold gear unders. Had no complaints. The weather then was not so pleasant - most of the time it was raining lightly with some sunshine for short periods.

I'd say a comfort 0-4° bag is probably best.

I used the german Bundeswehr sleepingbag with with -5 - +15°C range and found this a bit too warm some time. I think this year i will bring a normal 0°C bag. (depending how the weather will be short before berget)

Last Berget I used this bag: http://www.snugpak.com/index.php?MenuID ... &ItemID=71 along with this bivy: http://www.snugpak.com/index.php?MenuID ... &ItemID=87, plus Therm-a-Rest Trail Pro pad. The system takes near to no place on the backpack, allows to avoid humidity and insects and is really warm - I slept in briefs and t-shirt and sometimes opened the bivy and bag, since it became hot.

Comfort +3C bag was more than adequate in B9, the main problem was that it was a choice between sweating to death in the bag or opening it and getting sucked alive by mosquitoes. They stinged right through my shirt and even the mosquito net.

In B8 the nights were somewhere around 3C and I had hard time getting warm even with a surplus swiss sleeping bag with the fleece liner (which is not as warm as it sounds). So it depends...a 0...5C bag with extra underwear (light fleece or some sports baselayer) should be pretty much fine even for the coldest nights.

Just be prepared to handle bugs somehow...repellant, treated clothing, those spirals that give out smoke when you burn them...myself I am going to blast critical clothing with permethrine beforehand.
