I wouldn't want to sleep in the green bag any lower than 55. The black one can go to 30. Combine for around 0, Add bivy for -10.

the green shell I believe is rated for 30 degrees F. if u use both the green and the black together, ur looking at minus 10 Degrees F.

I do not know at what low temp. this will still work. I keep mine in the car trunk, in the garage. The lowest temp here is about 20 degrees.it seems to be some sort of dry cell trpe of battery, so my feeling is it should still work. sorry I do not have better info.

Absolutely. I took it backpacking last week and it was 32 degrees in the morning. The compression sack it comes with is fine. The straps look like they will tear under pressure at some point but so far so good.

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.

Hello, All Mylar bags must be heat-sealed to be effective. There are a few ways of doing this but I think the most common is to simply use a household iron. I have also heard of using a hair iron, which should work as long as it gets hot enough. The recommended sealing temperature is 400 degrees. They sell impulse sealers that work well but are not really worth it unless you plan on sealing a lot of bags. We usually recommend you rotate your food supply every year or two by actually using it. However, when properly sealed, low moisture food like you are storing can stay fresh indefinitely as it is protected from oxidation, bugs, light, mold, and oxygen dependent organisms. If you plan on extended storage, be sure to use quality American Mylar as small holes in the foil layer can let oxygen in whether the bag has been punctured or not, no matter how thick the entire laminate material is. A Long-Term Food Storage Guide is included with PackFresh products and you are always welcome to send us your questions as well. Have a great day!

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

It is comfortable down to 45 degrees but it dropped into the 30's one night we were camping and it is not sufficient for that. My toes were numb for about an hour in the morning. Poor planning on my part otherwise a good bag for average build people!

It's rated as a light weight bag. At cold temps the bag will not be enough to keep warmth. We use for sleepovers but our home has heat and air.

Hi: In answer to your question, 45 degrees is the lowest mine will set at. Hope that helps, Phillip

I'm a Scoutmaster for a Troop in California. This bag is awesome, I've used it down to 19 degrees at night in the upper desert. I though I would be cold, but no way. Just remember to wear something on your head and clean wool socks and your good to go....

I don't think these will keep anything at refrigerated temperatures. It stays nicely cool but not cold. And it can't be placed inside a closed-up bag because it needs air circulation to cool it.

It's very safe at 350, which is the only temp I've used it at. Sorry if this doesn't help, you might try the manufacturer.

Unfortunately I'm not real familiar with the camping conditions that area. All I could say is that if you don't plan on camping in below zero weather then I would get the zero degree sleeping bag. If you were on the verge of 0 degrees and a little below I think an extra blanket would keep you plenty warm.

My bag has a stamp on the back that is dated March 23rd, 2015. I also keep mine in the fridge, because it says on the label to store it between 30 and 40 degrees. Hope this helps you!

My first use of this bag was on a night that dipped to 40 degrees. If I completely covered myself (hood up and tight) I was actually a little too warm. My feet were chilly all night though regardless - wish I had worm wool socks that night.

You can use it for 60 degree nights, since it is not that warm. I have used it in about 75 degrees and that was when it started to get uncomfortable. I think it just depends on how warm you like to be at night and how many layers you wear while in the bag. The fewer you wear, especially with skin contact, the hotter you will be because your body heat easily bounces from you to the bag and back.

The lowest setting is 74c, 165f. This product is great. We use it for jerky and make our two Yorkies dog treats. Hope this helps
