I like the hood and the way it looks but at 65ish degrees would I fry in this bag?

This bag is made for really cold weather, but if you don't zip it up it should be fine for warmer weather. I've used it temps of 60s and in the 20s and its a great sleeping bag

Maybe if you have thermic clothes on but I don't think that it would stand that temperature on its own.

Yes. It is rated to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. I can't vouch for that because the coldest temperature that I have been in was 17 degrees....I found this bag to be quite adequate for the low teens (that is NOT a minus temperature.

I slept in it in freezing temps in an unexpected early August snow shower during a northern Maine canoe trip - not sure exactly how low it got that night but there was ice and snow all over the ground and in our canoe in the morning. I am a very warm sleeper and made it through all right that night, but it is certainly not built for those conditions. You will survive in it, but you will not be happy in the morning. I would typically opt for a 0 degree down bag if I'm expecting 30 degree temps...gives you a margin of safety and comfort...plus a 700+ fill factor 0 degree down bag weighs about the same as this bag. This bag is well worth the money for a summer bag though.

You can use it for 60 degree nights, since it is not that warm. I have used it in about 75 degrees and that was when it started to get uncomfortable. I think it just depends on how warm you like to be at night and how many layers you wear while in the bag. The fewer you wear, especially with skin contact, the hotter you will be because your body heat easily bounces from you to the bag and back.

It would work in an emergency, probably help the bag's low range 15 - 20 degrees.

You will survive at the listed rating, but your comfort will be in question. I was ever so slightly chilled wearing thermal underwear in a 27 degree night on a wooden platform in an Adirondack cabin. Using additional insulation below and above you might help make it work below 5 degrees, but we are planning to get different bags for camping in those conditions.

I don't think so. The general consensus (with which I agree) is that this is actually more of a 40 degree bag. You may have to undress a bit for warmer nights but you should be good.

I am 6'6" tall (wear a size large tall) and I do use this sleeping bag. It is acceptable since it is cheap and otherwise a decent bag, but if it was going to be near freezing where you needed the hood to fit tight around your head, it wouldn't be very comfortable. I don't usually like to have the hood on anyway and would rather wear a hat.

It won't melt the bag, but you are unlikely to get a good seal so moisture will probably get to it anyway. Mine are always a little damp from condensation and don't seem to be any the worse for wear.

Yes - that is what I understand (I have not done it yet but supposedly and as 'Chefdjm' responded as long as you do not exceed the 200 degreesF)

This bag would probably be better for 40 to 50 f. When backpacking in San Jacinto Mtns this November and froze my butt offat 28 f. Hoping a liner will help.

As long as you don't hold it long, you will be fine. I have removed ceramic items out of my grill that were at 600 degrees without any issues.

I wouldn't hold it the entire cook time but I've picked up items that were 500-600 degrees without hesitation. They are thick.

It seems pretty cool to me. The warm setting seems warm enough, which is what I always use. Don't think I would ever use the hot for fear of frying my hair.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead. Did i mention thus bag is warm? Luke

This Military Surplus Sleeping Bag is rated to be used in temperatures between +30 degrees to -10 degrees...add patrol bag and bivvy and i believe it can get to -40, although you will need thermals....
