Would this sleeping bag be ok to use in temps that get down to around 30 degrees? Another reviewer recommended not to use below 45 F.

we went on a camping trip the week we received the sleeping bags, it got down to 35 degrees one night we were warm and toasty very warm absolutely LOVE the sleeping bags!

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.

I believe this sleeping bag would be plenty warm enough for 30 degree temps. Answering a question like this is subjective however. If you're from Florida, 30 will be very cold for you, whereas if you're from Wisconsin, like I am, 30 is not a big deal. If you're concerned you may be more sensitive to cold, this sleeping bag is very roomy which would allow for layered clothing or an additional blanket if necessary. This sleeping bag is very well made, soft and warm so I do not believe you'd have an issue.

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

I used it in a cabin at about 30 and I was comfortable. It's snug, but I guess that's the point of a mummy sleeping bag.

I've personally had it down to -17F in Michigan and was toasty warm. I was in a tent with no wind blowing directly on me and the bag isn't like a weather proof shell or anything. Inside a tent though with a good cot or ground pad and you'll sleep like a baby.

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

I had it down to 15 degrees. I was using a ground pad and a wool blanket over the bag as a "just in case" and I was comfortable. Every now and again the baffle by my feet would shift and cold air would rush in, but other than that I was good. Don't know if I could go much colder though.

We used it last summer when we went camping in the NC mountains. Night time temps got down into the upper 50's and the kept us plenty warm. The sleeping bag is not overly thick and should work great for you.

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

about 40F. you can increase that by 5-10F with a liner, which are inexpensive and a good thing to do if used regularly. the thing is very lightweight and can be compressed down to a very manageable size - its my backpacking bag. I don't do that in snow.

The minus 30 can only be used in winter camping it is way to hot. I used it this fall the temp was around 40 degrees and had to have the bag unzipped because it was to hot.

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

This sleeping bag is oversized because it is designed to fit around the intermediate black sleeping bag. The intermediate bag and this one have snaps that line up so the bags stay organized and don't twist up. Correspondingly, this bag will snap into the gore-tex bivy sack. If you want to use this bag on its own, you can do so as well. It is designed for warm weather though. Unless your a warm sleeper, you probably won't want to go below 45-50 degrees in this. I believe the military designed this as a one size fits all, so if you're 6' 6" I think this would be about the limit.

This bag has kept me warm down to 20 F with no worries. At 60 one would most likely not have to zip the bag all the way up. It has been versatile over a wide range of temperatures.

No it will not be uncomfortable. Just unzip the sides. If you don't plan to use it in temps below 50 degrees why don't you buy one that is not rated as low as this one.

I've only used the tent in warmer weather, but nights still were cool. With the sides zipped up, I can't imagine getting cold. For warm nights the unzipped sides will help you keep cool. I would imagine with a good sleeping bag you could stay warm on a chilly night.

It can be packed tightly to smaller then a regular sleeping bag. The bag comes with a packing bag of it's own and fits nicely. Be aware the temp of 23f is not accurate and is more like a temp of 45f for use.

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.
