I carry the sleeping bag in the bivvy bag in the dry bag, pull it out in one rush, throw it on the sleeping mat, and I am ready to sleep.
If it rains, when I reach the place I tension the poncho -tarp.
That is nearly as light and compact as Paul Kirtleys lightweight set up, but I can wash my sleeping bag in a washing mashine, what I prefere on longer trekking tours.
The closed cell foam mat protects the bivvy bag, but it is of course less comfortable than an air mat.
Using a light poncho instead of a tarp saves in summer times the weight of the rain suit in the ruck sack.
Having in bivvy bag and sleeping bag a central zipper is outstanding comfortable.
"Robens Couloir 250" down bag with central zipper, 610 g, would probably be a good summer option. I don't have it.
