Very Decent Bag - Satisfied (supplement)

In my recent review, I mentioned a 4 day backpacking trip to the mountains where I used this sleeping bag for the on a trip first time. During that trip, I was inside my REI Arete 2 tent with the raincover on (and REI Arete 2 footprint tarp underneath). I had a Thermarest Trail Regular sleeping pad I layed on, and I was wearing Filson brand 100% Merino Wool Men's Alaskan Long Johns with Filson Heavyweight 100% Merino Wool Socks. The Temperature outside was around 25 degrees throughout the night. I vented the top of the tent by unzipping its 2 zippers at on both sides of the ceiling. I even vented my sleeping bag during the night because I got too hot. For most of the night, I was adequately warm and comfortable inside the bag.

The night I tested my sleeping bag in my front yard, as I mentioned, it went down to -2 degrees outside. There was heavy snow/wind that night. I was wearing the same clothing during the night in my bag that I was going to use on my backpacking trip and I used the same Thermarest in the same tent. I stayed fairly warm and comfortable that night as I mentioned despite the frigid and windy conditions.
