[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 487969, member: 158"] I still use my old Paddymade Hotham super down bag I bought in the late '70's. It's as warm as, and comfortable down to minus temps, on top of a self inflating mattress. In really cold weather I unzip it and use a supplementary quilt on top. I've been in the swag at - 7 ot 8 and have been very comfortable even though the canvas was frozen solid. As others have pointed out, bag liners can make a big difference. Don't expect to have a comfortable night at the lowest temp advertised for the bag, but you won't die! As most of us use cars and are not backpacking, it's easy to throw in some extra insulation in case conditions get severe. [/QUOTE]
