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.

Very cozy sleeping bag for active sleepers
3 weeks ago
I am what they call an "active" sleeper and am most comfortable on my stomach or side. I'm 5'6" and 150 pounds. This bag was made for me and sleepers like me. I used this on a recent three-day camping trip to Neah Bay and was very impressed. Nemo's spoon design really does provide ample room to move around and be comfortable. And, while I was concerned I would find the foot box confining (I prefer foot boxes that zip open), it wasn't. As I like to sprawl out with my arm over my head, I did find the hood a little confining, but it really was a minor thing. One improvement Nemo could make is to add pad strap loops. Also, as a sea kayaker, I bought this bag to use on summer paddling trips in the Pacific Northwest. There the synthetic fill is a plus although I would caution people to be wary of the temperature rating: it's accurate. I'm a cold sleeper and, while this bag was great in a tent with overnight temps in the low 50s , I suspect this bag would not keep me warm in the low 40s unless I layered up. And, while the bag does compress well—it fit nicely into Sea-to-Summit's 13L Evac Heavy Duty Compression Dry Bag—backpackers might find it a bit bulky. In general I think this this is a good all-around bag one that could be used for car camping, backpacking, and, of course, kayak camping. Given the very reasonable price point, I would say this is a very good sleeping bag for the money.
