ALT Temperature information for sleeping bags

There are three different temperature specifications for sleeping bags:

• Comfort temperature T comfort This value is calculated for a "standard woman" (25 years, 60 kg, 1,60 m) who is just not cold.

 

• Limit temperature T limit This value is calculated for a "standard man" (25 years, 70 kg, 1,73 m) who is just not cold.

 

• Extreme temperature T extreme This value is calculated for a "standard woman" (25 years old, 60 kg, 1,60 m) exposed to severe cold. This already poses a risk of hypothermia.

The value (comfort value T Comfort green area) should serve as a guideline when purchasing a sleeping bag.
