David Przepioski's Review of Therm-a-Rest Ohm Sleeping Bag

Hello everyone ! I hope all is well.
I don't have much experience bike camping yet, but I have done a bit of research and read many reviews.I hope this review is helpful to someone.
I didn't want to buy a mummy bag for mid season bike camping, cause if it is warm they typically do not unzip, but halfway down, and I am a side/stomach sleeper. I looked at quilts, but didn't like that they are open in the back and didn't want to lie on a bare pad.I looked at camping blankets and wool blankets but they are heavyish and do not pack down well.
So I bought the Thermarest Ohm 20F/-6C sleeping bag in the Balsam color, size large. It is lightweight, packs down well, good quality, zips open completely so I can use it in an adjustable blanket style.
About 2-3 weeks later, when I had the money, I bought the Thermarest Hyperion 32F/0C sleeping bag Black Forest color in size Large. It is a mummy bag, and a risk I took, cause out in the field I may not like it much, but decided to try it anyway. Although I am thinking that it may be ok for colder weather and that I may combine it with my Thermarest Ohm sleeping bag either placed inside or used as a blanket.
As we all know weather can vary considerably, that's a given. As I am new to this it seems that there is not one sleeping bag that can do it all in all weather conditions. So I decided to buy two bags and combine them, when needed, for a versatile sleeping kit along with my Thermarest Neo Air XTherm NXT max sleeping pad. Did I make the right decision? Or will I spend many a cold/hot/uncomfortable sleepless night out in the field? I won't know the answer to this question for some time but I am hopeful that I am on the right track. What I do know is that the colors of all three products match nicely and I bought all from Camp Saver at a fair price.
Good camping everyone !
