Temp rating for winter bag in the Sierra?
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 12:59 pm
I'm wanting to expand my kit so I can take advantage of the 4th season and am starting to look at what temp rating down bag to get.
I tend to sleep warm, my usual 3 season bag has been an older TNF Kilobag which is rated at 32 deg. I've taken it down to low 20's in a tent/bivy with a neo-air xtherm, base layer, and a down puffy or a patagonia R2 and been comfortable.
Thinking about the Feathered Friends Raven UL or the Western Mountaineering Versalite, both with 2 or 3 ounces of overfill to give a little buffer room.
Would like to hear your thoughts..
