what is the official temperature rating of this bag?
1439592
5+ is the survival rating. I've been down to about 20 degrees with a base layer and wool hat and been just fine. Bet I would have been ok at 10 degrees.

The "+5 degree" notation usually means that it is for 5 degrees and up. I was just warm enough in 30 to 35 degrees. But, that is a personal exerience... not scientific. I still like the bag!

My first use of this bag was on a night that dipped to 40 degrees. If I completely covered myself (hood up and tight) I was actually a little too warm. My feet were chilly all night though regardless - wish I had worm wool socks that night.

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

Yes. It is rated to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. I can't vouch for that because the coldest temperature that I have been in was 17 degrees....I found this bag to be quite adequate for the low teens (that is NOT a minus temperature.

Actually this is not an insulated bag at all. It is environmental friendly made of 100% bamboo. It is just a cloth bag. My spouse still uses it daily to take his lunch to work in. It is not exceptionally big but it holds his lunch, as well as his snack.

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.

It is not insulated. It is a clear bag. I use it with an ice pack and it works fine.

NO....I am guessing it is not comfortable at minus 30 degrees. it is comfortable to high teens Fahrenheit when accompanied by light wool or flannel blanket directly against your body as insulation AND comforter or wool blanket over the top of the bag. It is a seriously comfortable, well constructed bag. Excellent value. I HIGHLY recommend it! Soon will be entering the third year of use.....estimating 300 nights of use altogether - still like brand new, fresh as a daisy. One thing to note...it is heavy in weight - you will not want to move it around much. In winter mine lives in the back of my SUV.ALL THE BEST!

Just saw your question... and it's three days later, I hope I can still help. This sleeping bag is very light weight, it is the bag that I pack for hiking trips and I can hardly tell its on my back for several hours of hiking at a time. I would say that you are in the clear as far as not producing too much heat, the problem I find is that when the temp gets down around 50 F that the bag isn't warm enough, but hopefully its warmer thn 50F in your hotel room. Also the green outside of the bag and be turned to the inside and you can sleep on that, I've done this several times on warm nights and it seems to work well for me.

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.

Hi Tony, the packet label states +/- 2°F between 50°F to 86°F. For me the relative accuracy between comparative readings is sufficient. I hope this helps. Cheers, Ken

Depends if you have any bottles. That was my biggest problem and the temperature was barely cool. The bag is skinny 4x6 inches. I can slip my hand into it.

It says 20 degrees. I used it in 40 degree temp with just my boxers on and was perfectly warm. Temperature really is relative though... In cold nights a person should always do some "warm up" activities to warm your body temp up. Sleeping bags are designed to keep in heat, if you go to bed cold you will stay cold. Also if one person is in the bag you may loose heat. Normally I am in it alone.

How much is a personal reaction I do not know, but mine is warm on the highest setting... not really hot hot...but in the cabin where used, the temp is about 60...and I do use a sleeping bag as well so that may make a difference ( the bag is used as a banket)

I bought this bag because I didn't want to roast in my winter bag while sleeping inside a cruising sailboat in Florida. I also wanted a small, lightweight bag. When it's 40 to 50 degrees outside, with no heat on in the boat, I'm extremely warm and comfortable. However, I wouldn't push the limits of this bag (or any other bag), especially if you're going to be uncovered or regularly in 45 degree weather. You should purchase a bag that exceeds that limit, more like a 30-degree bag.

I slept in it @ 12 with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24 and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10 under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40 outside, buy a 30 bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.
