Now also using Thermaspace lining which is breathable and lightweight. It reflects body heat inside the bag to prevent heat loss. It is carefully positioned between the inner fill and the outer shell to insulate the user, to prevent heat loss and attain and maintain desired warmth rating

• EN Ratings - setting the standard:

  EN13537 is a European standard for sleeping bag temperature ratings.

  While any testing method can be questioned, the EN standard has been in use for over 7 years now and is being used in more than 25 countries

  Everyone sleeps differently; some people are very warm sleepers while others feel the cold easily. There are many factors that affect your warmth and comfort in a sleeping bag. An important factor is that you use a good insulating mat, so your body heat isn t drawn into the cold ground you are sleeping on. Other factors include your tent or shelter, gender and metabolism, clothing, sleeping bag liner, use of the hood and your daily calorie intake.

  Although the EN13537 standard does not identify a single precise temperature a tested sleeping bag is suitable for, it does provide an industry standardised temperature range that a typical user can refer to as a guide for the conditions their bag will be most comfortable in.
  
  The EN13537 standard provides three temperature levels to guide a consumer in their choice
  
  Comfort- This is the rating Roman quote on bags. the temperature at which a standard woman can expect to sleep comfortably in a relaxed position. If you consider yourself a cold sleeper use this rating to decide the coldest temperature the sleeping bag is suitable for.

  Lower Limit- the temperature at which a standard man can sleep for eight hours in a curled position without waking. If you consider yourself a warm sleeper you can use this rating to decide the coldest temperature the sleeping bag is suitable for.

  Extreme- this is a survival only rating for a standard woman. Between the lower limit and the extreme rating a strong sensation of cold has to be expected and there is a risk of health damage due to hypothermia. This is an extreme survival rating only, we do not recommend you rely on this rating for general use
