All Marmot bags are EN tested. (EN stands for European Norm and is a testing procedure using a heated copper mannequin and 20 sensors to measure heat loss) EN testing for the Helium give these results: a rating of 16.3 F for the lowest temp an average man could have a comfortable night sleep, and a comfort rating of 27 F for an average woman to have a comfortable sleep (women tend to sleep colder than men) So I would say if you are a warm sleeper the Helium should be good down to temps between 16-25 F. If you tend to sleep colder maybe 25-35 F for a comfortable night sleep. Check out the Marmot website for more info on EN testing.
