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.

Double check the weight listed for the Long
7 months ago
Just got it for Christmas and it seems like a solid car camping bag. It’s slightly more narrow from the knees down than the measurements seemed to indicate but maybe I was just measuring my old bag wrong. The main problem is that the weight listed here for the Long must be for the regular. The actual weight listed on the tag is 4 lbs 6 ounces. Much heavier. Probably wouldn’t have chosen it if I’d known but not worth returning since this is the third one I’ve tried. Tired of shopping.
