- The military sleep system weighs in at almost 11 pounds, even if you toss the bivy, that only removes 3lbs, down to 8lbs...where my 20 degree quilts combined weigh less than 40oz.
Anyway, like hutzelbein said, you CAN put a winter sock over your XLC, you will just have a hanging bag rather than a shelf. In using my XLC i rarely staked out the attachment points, i just let them hang.
