Comfort and lower-limit values are different outputs of the adult sleeping-bag test.
How to use this answer
For a cold sleeper, prioritize a documented comfort value and add margin. This separates a useful measurement from a broad product label and helps identify which exact variant needs further checking.
Decision boundary
The listed values describe a product under its stated source conditions. They do not establish personal comfort, safety, stock, or fit in every shelter.
Temperature and fit context
ISO 23537-1:2022 describes adult bag testing under controlled conditions. Product labels and untested claims are not interchangeable with comfort or lower-limit numbers. A sleeping pad, clothing, humidity and individual metabolism change real comfort.
For this question, check: ISO comfort and lower limit where available, maximum user height, shoulder room, fill and actual pad insulation. When a particular specification is absent, keep the decision open rather than treating a missing value as zero or assuming a universal fit.
Compare actual recorded values
The values below come from exact catalog variants. The table is an illustration of which measurements to compare, not a ranking or a recommendation. Open each card for the field source and revision notes.
| Exact variant | Product label | Comfort | Listed weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Western Mountaineering TerraLite — 84 in manufacturer size | 25°F (-3.9°C) | 28°F (-2.2°C) | 2.13 lb (964 g) |
| Western Mountaineering UltraLite — 78 in manufacturer size | 20°F (-6.7°C) | 25°F (-3.9°C) | 1.94 lb (879 g) |

Before you rely on a number
Recheck manufacturer instructions and the exact year, size and SKU. The October 30, 2026 dataset does not verify real-time inventory, sale prices, field performance or a guaranteed safe temperature. If the key measurement for this question is unavailable, ask the maker or measure your own equipment before committing to a setup.
