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.

Vent Zippers Easily Get Stuck
No, I do not recommend this product
2nd attempt with bag. Both brand new and never got to use because vent zipper got stuck on both. Won’t be making that mistake a 3rd time.

Almost near perfect
No, I do not recommend this product
Felt great trying it. Until I wanted to zip up the ventilation on the side. It’s near impossible to not get the zipper stuck on the ventilation material. It’s so loose that I had to stick a finger in there to keep it tight enough to not get caught. It still got caught. And on one side it got completely stuck and it messed up the sleeping bag.

Used this camping a few weekends ago here in Texas. We are on the Verge of summer so it only got down to about 58. Super comfortable bag!
