I purchased an oversized bag ( 
http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/product_info.php?cat=26&products_id=217 ) 
and had a full length zip fitted down the middle - Wasn't cheap, but I 
found the regular mummy bags to be too restrictive. With the full 
length zip, I now have the option of using it as a quilt or a bag.

I dare say you have similar suppliers your side of the pond that could 
make custom bag - 4lbs is a lot of weight to be lugging around up in 
them hills.
