Are you serious? What I recommend is that you step away from me as rapidly as you can, before I whack you in the head with a snowball. Poor you! Going to the nasty Caribbean where its relatively dry and night temperatures are usually 75! Oh, the humanity!
Cocoon Silk Mummy Liner
Cocoon Silk Mummy LinerI mean, obviously there wont even be a need for a sleeping bag. Really all you need to take is a cotton or silk sleep sack. Cocoons Cotton Mummy Liner ($20; cocoonusa.com) gives you just a touch of warmth and something to hang onto in the night, and it weighs next to nothing. The silk version costs $50 and is a little warmer. Honestly, it and a T-shirt ought to suffice even if a cold snap” sends temps plummeting into thegasp!mid-50s.
If you decided you could use something warmer, then consider REIs Kilo Flash +40 bag ($179; rei.com). As the name implies, its a sleeping bag rated to 40F or warmer. It weighs just over a pound and packs down to nothing. You could unzip it and use it as a comforter, too.
Now go away.
