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.

Worth tbe hunt!
Yes , I recommend this product
This was the first sleeping bag I really chose to invest in. I live in Texas and planned a backpacking trip at Big Bend in January, where the low temps are typically in the 30’s. More important than that, though, is the fact I’m one of those people who sleeps sorta on their stomach, sorta on their side with one leg up. I realized very quickly that a normal mummy style sleeping bag just wouldn’t cut it for me. After a week of researching and nearly settling for a quilt, I found a review for this sleeping bag and was instantly sold. And I can confirm: this sleeping bag is INCREDIBLY spacious and comfortable! I can toss and turn with ease! Can’t recommend this enough for other side-stomach sleepers in the world.
