  This bag is not suitable for temperatures below 20 farenheit. For it to be even an acceptable zero degree bag, there would have to be at least 4" more loft to it. As it is, the loft over the chest area is about 2". The hood and foot area seem to have relatively more loft. The other thing necessary to give this bag an honest rating of zero degrees, let alone -20, would be a double, zip-down draft tube, like the kind offered by Slumberjack in the late 1980's, when their bags were designed and manufactured in the good ol' U.S.A. The present draft tube is not stuffed adequately and is not a large-enough diameter. The zipper snags constantly on the cheesy bag surface protector strip. In many places on the bag, one can see threads that have unraveled, as well as loose stitching. With the help of a space blanket safety-pinned around it and a wool, full-length army coat overall, I was okay on a couple of 20 degree nights. Slumberloft was obsolete by 1990. Don't trust your life to this bag. You get what you pay for. Chinese equipment is the pits. Go Wiggy's.

  Hi I'm from Mongolia. Mongolia climate is very harsh and cold. In winter time -50C. i am using Latitude -20 sleeping bag. When i have my last vacation temperature in the tent was a around -10C it was warm like as sleeping at home. I guess if i using thin blanket under sleeping bag, i can use -20C.

  My son used this bag on his first winter Boy Scout winter campout. It was 20-25 below zero in Wasilla Alaska. He used it with a fleece liner and stayed very warm. He slpt in an open trench with only his sleeping bag and a sleeping pad. I was convinced enough to buy the long version for the Freezoree in February.
