If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

The extra large I have would probably be big for that bag. I have a large winter sleeping bag about that size and it is a little loose in the x large. I stuff my dry clothes and down jacket in with the sleeping bag so I have everything in one dry spot just in case.

Depends how cold you keep your house. I've used sleepers along with the sack and just short sleeve onesies.

I don't think so. The general consensus (with which I agree) is that this is actually more of a 40 degree bag. You may have to undress a bit for warmer nights but you should be good.

If it helps, I just used mine on an air mattress on a 40-50° night. Had to zip up the sleeping bag, but slept "ok" in my clothes. I am a cold weather person though.

Much of that depends on your own comfort level, what clothing you have on, what type of protection you have from the ground, and so on. This blanket might be rated at summer bag level of warmth except without the enclosed foot box and side zippers, so plan accordingly. This is designed more for sitting around camp watching the fire and the occasional trip to the latrine. I toss it over my bag, or beneath me, if I need a little extra warmth, but I would not bring this INSTEAD of a regular bag.

depends on how cold tolerant you are - i would not try to use it if i thought it would be very cold- i used the thing in mid summer in the desert and it worked well for that and I pulled a tarp over me in the rain but your question would make me think you will want something better - this thing is a blanket - not a sleeping bag and the edges of it are loose like a blanket and do not join like a bag

I love the bag. It will definitely keep you warm and cozy. I haven't used mine for backpacking only car to campsite tent camping. I typically take a lightweight hammock and thermal blanket rolled up in my sleeping pad when backpacking.

I'm 6-4 and my sleeping bag fit into the bag. I would not put the sleeping pad into the bag. It can be straped on the outside. Remember this is a medium size bag. The interior will hold 2 shirts, 1 pants, 2 underwear and 2 socks. Food for 5 days ( depends on what you eat). Rain jacket, emergency tarp, first aid kit, hygiene kit both 6x4 inches. 1 person tent or hammock, rain fly, straps and rope. Alcohol stove, ultra light pot w lid. Side pockets hold water treatment, alcohol fuel, lighter, maps, snacks, spoon or spork, etc. Top storage has twice as much room as side pockets. Bottom has rain cover which comes with the pack. There are lots of places to tie down your sleeping pad, hiking poles, what ever. I bought mine to use on the Appalachian Trail. I have 30lbs of stuff which I hope to get down to 25lbs. I had a larger pack- 6000 cu in. but when you are hiking 544 miles weight is a factor. If you are car camping or just hiking to a camp site and not moving for a week go with a larger pack. You can bring more stuff. Some thru hikers have packs with less cu in to save weight. I am not in a hurry so if I get tired I will rest and enjoy the scenery. I did buy a compression bag for my sleeping bag. It was tight w/o compression bag. My sleeping bag came with just a stuff sack. It ddin't compress the sleeping bag so I went with a compression bag. Yours may be smaller or larger than my sleeping bag. Mine is a synthetic fill rated to 20 but I think it is only good to 30. That is from years of use at different temps. I may need a new bag. Even 30 degrees is to cold for me these days. Hope this helps. Happy trails, Dave

Not as warm but if you put on a sweater and undershirt it will keep you nicely. If you are outside alot in 20 degree weather you would need to put on an extra layer for sure. I bought a polar fleece hood that I wear with my coat and if I have that on I am just perfect with warmth. the hood is really just a wind, snow and rain blocker. My other down coat had a very warm hood and I did miss that warmth, but when I started wearing the fleece hood I know longer missed it and I could see more easily.

Not too good. It's not waterproof, so there's no extra insulation to it. Let in a breeze pretty well too. Might want a good sleeping bag depending on how cold you're talking

yes, i think actually any sleeping bag would work, the hammock is actually quite roomy on the inside. I have used it extensivly and it is a great piece of camping gear

I slept in this bag, in a tent with no heat with an outside temp of 9 degrees and a -2 windchill. I had my head inside the bag and the cover draped over the top of the bag. I slept perfect for 8 hrs. I also had a hooded sweatshirt and fleece pants on. also used it just last weekend and the temp was 16 when I woke up. the bag is big enough to get my head inside so on the super cold nights that's what I do and I sleep great.

The bag is a light weight fleece but warm. I keep it packed as part of an emergency grab and go bag. I think it was worth the purchase.

It may if the weather was above freezing, but if it's freezing outside you would be better off putting it inside a sleeping bag with you.

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

Well I can fit my regular cold weather sleeping bag in the medium, so I believe the x-large should easily fit your sleeping bag. With the compression aspect you can shrink your storage and make a lot more room in your hiking back pack. It's really awesome!
