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.

Great product for the price

I used this bag on my EBC trek. I never had issues with warmth! Many of the bags with negative temp ratings can be extremely costly, this one was on sale so I decided to take the jump. I would recommend to anyone looking for something similar with a reasonable price point. The gortex shell is also amazing. If you were to add a liner (I did not) you can even add more warmth. My only complaint is occasionally the zip will stick. I used this for 12 nights in extremely variable conditions. It is lightweight and easy to pack down.

Not for people with hips

This thing is NARROW. I've never had an issue fitting into a sleeping bag before this one. I don't think anyone with hips would fit into this thing, should definitely be advertised as a men's bag, and not unisex. I used this for about 7 nights on a winter trip in the cascades, with the coldest night being around 15 degrees, it didn't keep me warm at all. That's likely due to the fact that I can't zip it up fully without compressing the down, due to its fit and my hip size. I ended up using it as a quilt for the last few nights, but I paid for a sleeping bag, and given the price point, I will be returning and getting something better fit for feminine anatomy.

Gore-Tex is a game changer
2 years ago
I took this on a recent fall backpacking trip in the snowy Idaho mountains and was SO comfortable. The gore-Tex shell allowed me to not stress about it touching the inside of the tent walls and getting wet, or getting wet from the snow blowing in or wet dogs snuggling up with me. And it’s the warmest sleeping bag I’ve owned. I was cozy in it down to about 15F. Anything below that, I’d prob go for a sub-zero rating. Also I’m about 5’9 and almost maxed out the length for this bag.

Lives up to the rating!

It says 0 degree limit and 13 degrees comfort on the bag itself. I used this bag in conjunction with a 4.4 R-value sleeping pad and Gore-Tex bivy sack for a week. It was -2 the first night with 3 inches of snow on the ground, and this bag was still comfortable (I wore appropriate base layers as well). Other nights varied between 5 and 20 degrees, and this bag performed superbly. It is durable and packs easily. Highly recommend.

Amazing idea of a bag!

All these years sleeping bags have been approached by treating the feathers to be water resistant. How common sense and awesome is it to just have a vortex shell instead. I hope this becomes standard in cold weather bags, to have a gortex shell. Awesome!

Good bag, not for large people.

Lightweight and water resistant. 5’8” skinny build fits good. Would not recommend for larger frame individuals. Worst part is does not have a draft tube under the neck so on a windy night the bag was a little chilly.
