[quote]A word of caution on the temperature ratings specified by US retailers.
Here is an example of the specification for a high spec synthetic Bag - Thermarest Centari™ bag.
http://www.cascadedesigns.com/therm-a-rest/sleeping-bags/centari-0-sleeping-bag/productThe EN Comfort rating is -5 C / 23 F
Yet the Rating given by most retailers regard it as a -18 C / 0F bag.
If you are going to go out in dangerously cold temperatures please go by the EN Comfort rating to give yourself a safety margin and insure the insulation under your sleeping bag has a R rating of at least 4.5 when using a synthetic sleeping bag.
