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 concept but flawed design.

Odd design - wasn’t a hit. Two issues: 1. the back shoulder area is uninsulated. Turn on your side and you back gets cold. Use the sleeping pad sleeve on a cold surface and the cold convects right into your back. 2. The bag is fully sewn together between your waist and feet, making temperature regulation impossible.

very comfortable and cosy. I slipped my sleep pad in the built in sleeve which kept my back in constant contact with the pad. the way I was nestled in the bag with its "hood" type top and overlapping side made it so comfy. I'm very happy with this purchase. Because there is no zipper you kind of have to slide in and out of the bag which was no problem, just different than the traditional sleeping bag.
