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.

Good sleeping bag, excited to use more.

So far, I'm really enjoying this sleeping bag. Warm, packable, lightweight for a synthetic bag, and eco friendly too! It's definitely a little bit bulkier and heavier than my old Big Agnes skeeter SL 20 (down), but it still subs into my regular pack without an issue! I'm interested to see how the white holds up, but I'm not too worried about some dirt showing as it gets more use. I'm about 6'1" and I went with the regular size, and the fit is nice with some room in the foot box. The compression sack that it came with ripped down one of the seams my first time using it, but otherwise everything has worked great so far!

Simply Amazing, get one! I needed a failsafe synthetic cold weather bag for mixed conditions and landed on the 15 degree Lamina Eco. Its soft and supple, incredibly comfortable, the color reminds me of luxury hotel bedding which gets your mind right for how you will sleep. Pleasantly surprised by how small it stuffed on a recent trip, only took about half the volume of my handlebar bag. . Never felt damp or clammy even when my clothes were damp, warm and comfortable down to 30 degrees on a recent trip.

I really wanted to love this bag, but...

The quality of this bag is excellent, as is the zipper, etc. and love the idea of an ECO friendly bag, problem is it is brutally tight in the shoulders. I am not huge at 5'-8" and 22" chest, but I cannot even zip this up. Maybe a fluke from the manufacturer. So it went to my 10 year old, she loves it.

I so, so wanted to love this bag, and I really do appreciate Mountain Hardwear upping the game of synthetic sleeping bags. And I will say, the bad itself is comfy! However, it’s definitely well over 3 lbs (and I bought the petite) and takes quite a bit of effort to stuff in my backpack.

A little snug for the XL people.

It’s a great bag for sure! My only complaint is that I’m a bigger guy at 6’1” 240lbs and it is definitely snug around my chest/shoulders. I ordered the biggest one available.

Amazing Synthetic Bag
4 years ago
Honestly could not be happier with this purchase. I have used it on 2 shorter backpacking trips now (2 and 3 nights) and I love it. It packs down incredibly well, regardless of it being a synthetic bag, and its a good weight for a 15 degree bag in this price range. My buddy on one of the trips had the mountain hardware rook 15 degree down bag and this one was just about the same size when packed down. We also got rained on one night when a storm came in unexpectedly and our rain fly was off, so I was incredibly happy to have a synthetic bag as everything in the tent got soaked. And even when both me and the bag were wet I still stayed plenty warm! I saw some reviews saying the bag is too tight, but even being a big guy I haven't had issues with it. Its a mummy bag so it is a little tight, but honestly it just feels like I'm being swaddled when I sleep which is amazing. The material is incredibly soft and comfortable as well. On top of all the amazing things about this bag, its also ~more~ eco friendly, which was a HUGE selling point for me! No matter how sustainable the down is sourced, synthetic is still going to be better. The recycled material is good for peace of mind, and the fact that they didn't dye it is awesome! Also I love the white. Even though it will certainly get dirty, each stain will carry a memory which I like. I 100% recommend this bag.
