FAQs
What do our sleeping bag temperature ratings mean?
Comfort Rating: This indicates the coldest temperature at which a cold sleeper will feel comfortable and warm in their sleeping bag.

How do I maximise the performance of my sleeping bag?
You can maximise the performance of your sleeping bag by using it with an inner sheet, insulating mat and away from draughts. Wearing additional layers will also improve the performance of your sleeping bag. For example, if you are cold sleeper, you could be comfortable at the Limit Rating if you wear suitable warm clothing and use the sleeping bag with an inner sheet and mat.
