  How important are comfort ratings. Say I'm going somewhere that recommends -10deg Celsius and I had this, would it be a bit cold and I could supplement with anything that keeps me warm, or would I die?

    I find manufacturers often exaggerate their ratings in any case, so I'd daresay even with a -10 degree sleeping bag - if you used that in -10 you probably barely be comfortable.

    I probably would only use the above sleeping bag to camp on someone's loungeroom floor.

      does that mean I'm looking for a rating of 0 Kelvin, or are you saying I will be uncomfortable regardless.
      I feel like something is definitely going to be better than nothing - unless it is a burden because it will be useless (traveling overseas)

    Well, it depends…

    This has a good summary:

    https://www.bigskyfishing.com/camping/sleeping-bag-temperatu…

    Depends if you are a cold sleeper, warm sleeper, depends on the room you're in - small tents stay warmer than large tents - depends on the sleep pad since most heat is lost to the ground and so a thick pad will be much warmer.

    Regards clothes, cotton will retain moisture from any perspiration so not help keep you warm.

    Anaconda only has a brief overview

    There are usually 3 ratings that describe a sleeping bag:

    • Comfort range - in normal conditions, you should be comfortable down to this temp.
    • Lower limit - you're going to be cold and uncomfortable, but you won't freeze to death.
    • Extreme - severely cold and borderline hypothermic, but you (probably) won't die.

    Unfortunately, in Australia there is no enforced standardised test for sleeping bag temp ratings, so you have to rely on the manufacturer's honesty.
    Some bags carry an EU rating, which is standardised.

    Regarding your original question, a bag with a comfort rating of -2 is not suitable for -10 conditions. I would personally choose a -15/-20 rated bag, which will set you bag considerably more than $30.

    Having said that, keeping warm is usually about layering. Insulation is created by trapping still air between layers or clothing, blankets, foam, etc.

    For example, You could layer this -2 bag with a quilt or another summer bag, and you will get an extra few degrees warmth out of a cheap bag, at the coat of size and weight to transport extra layers.

      Cool.

    From what I have read, you add 10 to 15 degrees to the comfort ratings and that is your actual temperature your sleeping bag will actually work with.

    We went camping last weekend with the kids and temps dropped down to 9 degrees in the tent. Our bags had comfort ratings of -2 degrees for the adults and 0 degrees for the kids. They were just right…..just. My son needed some extra layering as did my wife.

    We were sleeping in a 10 man tent with camp stretchers with no mattress so there is more things I could have done as well.

      I remember early on in my marriage when my wife required extra layering.

    If you're going camping in -10°C you'll need to spend more than $30 on a sleeping bag.

    TimU has good info to help you choose. Quality, size, weight and temp rating will determine the price.

  2.5kg is quite heavy for a -2 rating. Mine is 1.5kg with the same rating, which I bought over 10 years ago for something like $40.

  Important to note that you need a sleeping mat to achieve those comfort ratings. No chance you'll be comfortable in -2 degree weather with just this sleeping bag.

  I went to a dry cleaner and asked how much to get my sleeping bag cleaned.

  $35

  May as well just buy new all the time.

    Throw it in the washing machine on hand wash setting and slowest spin. It’ll be fine.

      antonthenet on 14/04/2018 - 12:52

      Yeah that's what I ended up doing.

      Make sure your kid gets out of the sleeping bag first, though

  Or let it soak with napisan or the like then put it in a washing machine.

  2.5kg is very heavy for a -2 rating bag my families individual Bivys (tents) and Bags come in at less then that combined.There is also no way that this Anaconda homebrand bag has sold for $120

    Happy501 on 13/04/2018 - 16:33

    agree completely about the weight factor. That is very heavy and only good for car camping.

    Just to be that guy, Anaconda were selling these portable doonas for the full price
