What is the average weight of a sleeping bag

For a three season hike like the AT, I'd recommend a weight range of 2 to 3 pounds for a 20F three season bag, and 1 to 2 pounds for a summer bag as a luxury. These are relatively expensive down bags at the bottom of the weight ranges. Decent but slightly heavier bags can be had for less money.

The summer bag is not necessary, especially if you can use a quilt. The rating and quality of the three season bag depends on when you start, which is seems to be from late Feb to late April.

A mummy bag can be restrictive compared to other shapes. Rectangular —as the name implies, this is a non-tapered design, which is less efficient at heating, but also less restrictive while sleeping. Warm weather car campers often opt for a rectangular shaped sleeping bag due to the freedom of movement they provide. If comfort, not warmth, is your main priority, consider this style of bag.

Semi-Rectangular —a hybrid between the mummy and rectangular shape, this is the go-between for fair-weather campers that require warmth, but also desire the extra room for added comfort.

While not as warm as mummy bags that can withstand 3 to 4 season camping, a semi-rectangular bag can work for fair-weather trips, and also be efficient enough for shorter backpacking adventures.
