In GA, you can get away with a Poncho Liner in May/June-Sept/Oct. For July & August I use either a silk or cotton sleeping bag liner, or just some pajama pants and a tee shirt.

I made a Karo step top quilt with 6 oz. of 850FP down and M50 (0.65 oz/sy) shell with 1" tulle (0.33 oz/sy) baffles. A good 1.5"average thickness weighing 10.0 oz. Snaps on the foot box and even has a omni-tape neck hole to wear as a serape. Packs smaller than a football. Good to 40 degrees actually.

In the summer I use a climatech mummy bag from WalMart (http://www.walmart.com/ip/40F-Right-...range/34109018) or just my woobie. It's humid in Kentucky so your top insulation needs to be light and able to vent.
I use a HG 20* Burrow with drawstring footbox, year round. I can vent the footbox on warmer nights, or just lay on top of it, and on cooler nights I can close off the footbox, and get cozy under it. It is really lightweight. One of my favorite pieces of kit.

Spent the night in the catskills yesterday. Temps got down to 48 at night. Poncho liner kept me nice and comfy.
