As a side sleeper who twists and turns in the night, the cold bum is the problem to me at times.
This bag is an experiment to see how it works (Sam talks highly of it) and will be used with my 250 quilt as an over quilt in colder weathers, maybe the 450 if it's not as warm as I hope

I've found it's been good down to around 2 degrees and I sleep in Long John's merino socks, Helly Hanson top and if colder a down jacket too.
If it's any colder ir if I'm under a tarp rather than a tent at these temps I tend to double bag it with my 250 quilt that I'm keeping

This may mean that I'll have my Cumulus 450 quilt up for sale in a couple of months time after a test bivi or two.

Could well be tempted John..

Are you sleeping in a different room to it? I've had my 150 down to less than that

I've had my 250 down to 2 degrees, but I needed a down jacket too.

That's more like it I reckon a 450 is probably good to around -6 with appropriate mat.
