Does this "intermediate cold weather bag" go down to 0 degrees on its own, or just if it is coupled with the inner green bag?

If I'm not mistaken it's rated to -10 but that's if your wear cold weather cloths while inside it will keep you warm to about 16 that's my true rating

This Military Surplus Sleeping Bag is rated to be used in temperatures between +30 degrees to -10 degrees...add patrol bag and bivvy and i believe it can get to -40, although you will need thermals....

It's an outter green bag, and they go together. In my opinion, having slept in both on a porch in 30-degree weather to test out the claim, it is unsuited for zero degrees in every way. I'm small and female, and I didn't use a sleeping pad, but I was shivering too hard to stay out after midnight in a mere 30F.

The bag is not insulated so maintaining foods at specific temperatures would not be ideal.

about 40F. you can increase that by 5-10F with a liner, which are inexpensive and a good thing to do if used regularly. the thing is very lightweight and can be compressed down to a very manageable size - its my backpacking bag. I don't do that in snow.

Depends if you have any bottles. That was my biggest problem and the temperature was barely cool. The bag is skinny 4x6 inches. I can slip my hand into it.

Hi Karl. I own this bag and have no issues with the zipper. It is heavy duty and my experience has been that if you have any material in the way of a zipper it will tend to snag but so far not on this bag. I don't think you would be disappointed in any aspect of this bag. It is heavy, warm and very comfortable. Not a backpacker for sure. I car camp and it is perfect for my needs. So far not below 30 degrees on a tent. Good luck!

Yes, this is the bag that is part of the system, it snaps in. I had to look at multiple pictures to make sure myself but it was the right one. Awesome set up, I would suggest the Goretex (bivy) outer cover it blocks out the moisture in the cold weather. Good luck.

Actually this is not an insulated bag at all. It is environmental friendly made of 100% bamboo. It is just a cloth bag. My spouse still uses it daily to take his lunch to work in. It is not exceptionally big but it holds his lunch, as well as his snack.

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

There is a thin piece of fabric that makes a sleve for the frozen mat to go in. Therefore it does not directly contact the contents in the bag.

They must be referring to the 2 layers of polyfill on the inside of the bag. They can not be separated or taken apart because they are sewn into the bag. We used these bags on a trip cross country. They were very good but one night in the mountains it got down into the upper 30's- low 40's F and my daughter was cold.

I'm 5'6" and bought this bag last fall for the same reason. The one time I used it and it got down to 30 degrees, I was cold. From what I understand, these cold weather bags keep you warm by trapping your body heat in the bag, but with a bag that big my body just couldn't keep the air inside the bag warm enough. I found your question because I am currently shopping for another bag before my next camping trip. I'd recommend something smaller. I'm sure none of these rectangular bags work as well as a mummy bag, but there are smaller options available rectangular bags that should still allow for a reasonable amount of movement.

Don't know. The bag is made of a flexible rubber, and so perhaps filling it 1/2 or 2/3 and then freezing it might work. If I wanted to do it, then I probably would experiment with freezing only a little water in in the beginning in case something goes wrong, and then increase the amount if successful. But no idea how long term, repeated freezing would affect it.

It states it's warm even when the temp is down to 23f and that's one of the reasons I got this sleeping bag. It was probably about 28f when we were tent camping and we stayed warm.

Yes. You need to know that this bag is quite insufficient for warmth in temps below 60

Hi there. I bought this bag and have been drying it in the dryer on cold days and it works just fine. No damage.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

The bag is insulated, so it should keep things warm as well as cool. Haven't really tried it though. I heat my lunch at work usually. Very happy with this product overall. If you want something designed specifically to stay warm check out warmandtote.comMy daughter bought a couple of these for my grandsons and they work great
