Sleeping bag temperature ratings
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2020 10:57 am
Well after last night's garden outing with the kids in a tent bar the flipping cat deciding to use it as a play gym and putting it's claws through in several places (mcnetts tinacious tape has just saved it's skin from becoming slippers)
I've used my snugpac elite 3 several times usually summer time and it's been too warm so with a comfort rating of -5°C thought I'd use it last night. Well with a t-shirt and boxers it got down to +6°c and it was a touch bordering on rather cool wouldn't have fancied been in it at 0°c fully dressed let alone -5°c or even less so at its risk rating of -10°c

Always good to have a proper kit test
tonight (apparently the kids have demanded a rerun ) I'll add the supposedly thermal thermolite sleeping bag liner and see how that goes ..
The kids were happy in their fleece jammies with their cheap 2/3 season mummy bags and MY snugpac XL jungle blanket draped over them both
