What is the rating on this sleeping bag? What temperatures can it withstand? will it replace my 0 degree?

These bags are rated to 45 degrees F. I wouldn't expect them to replace a zero degree bag. Live To Play

Yes no problem however the picture is wrong the black portion of the sleeping bag goes inside the green bag. I've used this down to -15 in the northeastern mountains of Afghanistan and I was warm.

I'm 5'6" and bought this bag last fall for the same reason. The one time I used it and it got down to 30 degrees, I was cold. From what I understand, these cold weather bags keep you warm by trapping your body heat in the bag, but with a bag that big my body just couldn't keep the air inside the bag warm enough. I found your question because I am currently shopping for another bag before my next camping trip. I'd recommend something smaller. I'm sure none of these rectangular bags work as well as a mummy bag, but there are smaller options available rectangular bags that should still allow for a reasonable amount of movement.

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.

If it helps, I just used mine on an air mattress on a 40-50° night. Had to zip up the sleeping bag, but slept "ok" in my clothes. I am a cold weather person though.

this one is about 3.25 lbs and can be compressed down "Not recommended for storage but in backpack trail mode" to the size of a basket ball. Hope this helps its pretty warm bag I have had it down to 25 degrees and was warm. Remember there are several important factors for sleeping warm. Eating well good sleeping pad and tent placement and a few other things.

It says that there is one outer piece for it that can take the cold limit to -40degF, but this bag itself goes to -10degF. Keeps pretty toasty.

I don't think it meets the criteria for a sleeping bag. I would not let my child sleep in it outdoors on the ground. It is too thin. My grandson uses it more for play. It's a nap mat.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead. Did i mention thus bag is warm? Luke

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

It's an outter green bag, and they go together. In my opinion, having slept in both on a porch in 30-degree weather to test out the claim, it is unsuited for zero degrees in every way. I'm small and female, and I didn't use a sleeping pad, but I was shivering too hard to stay out after midnight in a mere 30F.

I bought the bag just 6 months ago and I love it!! I have not had any problems with the zipper and it keeps me warm. Get a liner if you are expecting winter camping.

THIS bag will work for you! I got it for my son to go on a trip where the temp got down to 20 at night and they were in cabins, he was very comfortable.

Although I have this bag, I use mine as a lightweight spring/summer/fall bag. That said my guess is that you should get at least 20/25 degrees.

hello chris I have two of these and I would not think they would be for any kind of cold weather they are very light weight and I was a little disappointed with them once I got them they put me more in the mind of a kids sleeping bag.

Yes. You need to know that this bag is quite insufficient for warmth in temps below 60
