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.

Premium Bag for Wide Range of Activities
Yes , I recommend this product
The Bantamweight bag fits a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Its a very lightweight and compact performance sleeping bag. Ive used this for multi-day alpine routes and camping in a tent. Temperatures ranged from 0 degrees to 40 degrees F. I use this bag a lot for travel to save space and weight. For very low temperatures (while climbing a big mountain for instance), I wear a jacket while sleeping. Attached is a gear testing video of the Bantamweight with an adjustable footbox. Though not included in the production model, that particular feature is included in other marmot bags.

Cozy
Cozy and warm. No room if you want to bring in your boot liners. Pretty tight for a big guy (across the shoulders) and similarly tough to get into the bag with the short zipper. Beautiful bag and super compressible.

Yes , I recommend this product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot wait to take this bag on the Arizona Trail this year. 900 fill goose down. I'm sorry but I am not a "quilt guy". I enjoy the mummy shape. It is my favorite bag.

Incredibly warm and super lightweight! Great bag! Not a huge fan of the partial front zip. (Kinda hard to get into and out of)
