Could I pull this into the sub-zero temp range with a bivy (MHW Conduit), thermolite liner, and a VBL liner? I'm headed to Patagonia in July/August (dead of winter) and I'm sleeping bag hunting...John Webb and/or Pat Goodman, I hope you're aren't too tired of answering my questions. Thanks.

Victor. You could "push" this bag to sub zero temps with the items mentioned in your question. Also, if you wore a down coat to bed that would help too. I mean a zero degree bag, in a tent, with a bivy, while wearing a down coat? Definitely sub zero. The same bag back in the day with Conduit SL was given a 0 degree rating from Hardwear. Also, on the AT and other trails where folks are fast packing and what not... 30, 40, 50 degree bags are "pushed" to lower temps with the help of bivies and down coats etc. Why? To save the added weight and bulk of a warmer bag.... Hope this info helps. Pat? Anything to add?
