[QUOTE="claybreaker, post: 1406058, member: 66625"] jmcmath makes a good point on bag ratings. But in recent years I think the rating systems have gotten a little more consistent. Mainly because some standards have been established called "EN Testing" or EN ratings. I think this helps the buyer tremendously because of consistent testing. So with a EN Rated bag you get 2 numbers 1) EN "Comfort Rating" temperature and 2) EN "Lower Limit" Temperature. (EN ratings are based on a sleeper wearing one long underwear layer and a hat, and sleeping on a single one-inch thick insulating pad.) Then you have the fact some people just sleep warmer than others. [/QUOTE]
