Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

    Possibly. Who makes the bag? For the most part only the higher end bags actually have accurate ratings.

        I’m not familiar with that brand and can’t find any useful info about them. I’d recommend not trusting the rating on there until you’ve established performance for yourself, and to bring something warm to put on so if it doesn’t live up to the rating you won’t be too miserable.

        Also, insulation from the ground is super important. If you don’t have a good sleeping pad, that will make a huge difference.
