Tvividr said:Comfort ratings for sleeping bags are very different from manufacturer to manufacturer, as there is no official international standard (yet) for measuring this. A good rule of thumb is to subtract 10 C from the temperature stated by the manufacturer. With other words: if the brochure says that the sleeping bag is rated to minus 25 C, you can usually count on sleeping warm and comfortable in -15 C and be a little cold in -25 C. Different liners and bivi covers can increase the warmth with anything from 2 to 10 degrees.
A good down sleeping bag for winter use should have at least 1,5 kg of down insulation material, preferably more. A synthetic fibre sleeping bag should have at least 2,2 kg of insulation material preferably more like 3 kg. The heavier the better!
