Temperature ratings are intended as a guideline to help you compare products, rather than a guarantee of warmth, since many different factors contribute to your comfort while you sleep. Backpacking bags are typically rated for temperature according to an independent testing protocol—currently International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 23537, though some older items followed European Norm (EN) 13537. Testing is based on a person wearing one base layer and a pair of socks, sleeping on an insulated surface with a minimum R-value of 5.38.
Each bag then gets 2 ratings: the Comfort rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "cold sleeper" comfortable, and the Lower Limit rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "warm sleeper" comfortable. Some brands determine their own temperature rating by aligning to the Comfort rating for women’s bags, to the Lower Limit rating for men’s bags, or somewhere in the middle for nongendered bags.

Warmth At Below Freezing!
TheLBZoo8 years ago
First camping trip in the Sequoias for my son. This bag was a life saver when we camped in unexpected snow covered areas with below freezing temps! I also bought the women's version. We were both warm and super comfortable. Memories made with a planned return yearly for mom/son tradition!! Our bags really maded it vs. breaking it!!

Best for warmer weather

I used this bag for one backpacking weekend in mid February, not in the snow. Temperatures during both nights got down to the high 30's- low 40's. I had to wear thermal pants and fleece jacket both nights and was still a little cold. Despite the temperatures listed for this bag, it does not perform well within that range.

Bulky but effective

I bought this at the store last minute so did not get a good grasp of its specs. Being over 3 pounds and 10-11 liters, it is quite heavy and space consuming.. however, for ~$100, it is warm, cozy, and a pretty solid deal. Was incredibly toasty through a few 40* nights both in a tent and lean to, so I'm sure the 30* rating is accurate. The zipper isn't too bad, and the right partial ziper is nice for airing out or extra arm space. The hood works, and the chest pocket is a nice touch. I am picking up a smaller, lighter bag for trips that won't drop below 40, but will keep this one for those early spring/late fall Adirondack hikes.

I bought this bag for an extended river trip in Montana. It was about 40 degrees each night, and I was comfortable with just a shirt and boxers on. My concern was it might be too small for a 6'3" person, but the extra wide size was perfect and not too confining. It stuffed and compressed into a good size for packing on the river and ba kpacking

Really good budget bag
6 years ago
For the price, this is a really good bag. I've had mine for four or five years and have gotten a lot of use out of it. I pretty much always wear socks, snug running pants, a thermal top, and sometimes a stocking cap and I'm generally warm enough, even down to 30 degrees. While not super heavy, the bigger problem for me is that it doesn't compress down very small. I'm planning to upgrade to a down bag so I can fit it in a smaller backpack, although I'll be doing so at 3x the price of this one.

Great sleeping bag!

I bought this a month ago and used it for our camping trip in July to Banff/Jasper in Canada. It was great for both the chilly and warmer nights- the zippers are great that you can completely enclose yourself, or there's a zipper that goes across the top that you can unzip for a warmer night. Very soft and cozy and fit my 6'5 husband great!

Solid bag. I’m 6’5” and fit in the long quite well. Cozy and decent amount of room to move legs around. Rolls up fairy tight and fits in backpack with out too much effort. Hoping this is a long term investment!

Cool bag on a warm night
8 years ago
Bought this for summer camping in my trailer in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Tried it last week at 6,300 feet elevation. Nighttime temps were in the mid 40's. I found the bag to be quite comfortable. I even got a little warm and discovered it was great to have two zippers so I could flop down the collar and quickly cool off. Very nice bag for summer conditions!

Great for regular camping
7 years ago
I managed to find the rectangular version of this bag which works so much better for me than the mummy version as i like to move my legs around. I've had it for a couple years now and used it in various temps from around 30 up to 50 degrees with no issues being cold; but I'm also a hot sleeper though too. My set up is an Eno double Nest hammock with an Eno Ember under quilt which helped on the colder nights. The bag is great for camping, but takes up quite a bit of room and I am currently looking at the Nemo Disco 30 sleeping bag for backpacking purposes.

Good bag for a very good value
5 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Trestles 30 for over 4 years now. It's been a dependable bag over that time, and a great value. I've taken it for multiple week-long trips in the Sierras, multi-day trips in Joshua Tree, and various car camping trips as well and it has held up very well. I generally don't like to bundle up to sleep and have enjoyed the fact that this bag has kept me pretty warm. I did use a few nights that got down to the 20's and had to bundle up thoroughly, but it's been good in temps 40 and up. I would give it 5 stars, but I would need it to compress more when I'm taking it backpacking, and the zipper can be a bit finicky near the top at times. Overall though, I'm very pleased with this bag.
