Will this bag be too uncomfortable if the temperature only drops to 50-degrees? Is there a way to partially open the sides?

No it will not be uncomfortable. Just unzip the sides. If you don't plan to use it in temps below 50 degrees why don't you buy one that is not rated as low as this one.
2006462
No. You can sleep on top of it and you can un-zip the side zipper to your comfortable.
2006463
It is better when temps are lower but the side is open so you can hang out the side.

Not at all, just unzip if you get too hot. Used it in 80 degree weather and was fine.

I checked my bag and you can open the zipper from either end. Therefore, you can open the bottom portion to allow your feet to 'breathe' while keeping the side zipped. I hope this answered your question.

The bottom edge is sewn closed, so you cannot lay it fully flat when open. The side zipper extends the full length of the bag.

it is rated for 30 degrees i believe. I would not take it out in temps cooler then 40. It should be a good summer bag though depending on the area you plan on using it.

I've used it in both summer conditions and down to freezing. I'm buying a warmer bag for cold nights, but for temperatures down to 40 it works fine, and it's a great price and weight for a summer sleeping bag.

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

I'm a Scoutmaster for a Troop in California. This bag is awesome, I've used it down to 19 degrees at night in the upper desert. I though I would be cold, but no way. Just remember to wear something on your head and clean wool socks and your good to go....

I didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.

We live in the mountains, so it is cooler here. but the Tbag has lots of vents and I would not think it would be a problem as long as the pet was not left in the bag. There are vents for air on both sides and top, it is a super nice bag and we love ours!

No guarantees that someone with a knife won't just slash open the bag and take the contents, or cut off the straps and take the whole thing. The bag when full is pretty unwieldy, however. My one wish is that it were overall firmer and kept its shape when empty. Think of it as soft side luggage. It's only secure as long as you're by its side.

I can imagine a tight fit if there was a lot of cooperation and no tossing and turning, depending on your body sizes. It would also have to be absolutely *cold* for two people to generate body heat in this bag or you would have a very warm night. The bag is warm, spacious and comfy for 1, but I would have a hard time recommending two people sharing it comfortably without zipping a second bag together.

I have the brown shell with pink place lining bag... It does NOT open all the way. The bottom edge is sewn shut

i think you probably could. but if you did one side of the bag you would have to lay on the zipper. also the second head flap thing would be on the top position of the bag, and all up in your face. you could make it work but you might just be better of with a normal shape sleeping bag.

I bought this bag because I didn't want to roast in my winter bag while sleeping inside a cruising sailboat in Florida. I also wanted a small, lightweight bag. When it's 40 to 50 degrees outside, with no heat on in the boat, I'm extremely warm and comfortable. However, I wouldn't push the limits of this bag (or any other bag), especially if you're going to be uncovered or regularly in 45 degree weather. You should purchase a bag that exceeds that limit, more like a 30-degree bag.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead.

Absolutely. I took it backpacking last week and it was 32 degrees in the morning. The compression sack it comes with is fine. The straps look like they will tear under pressure at some point but so far so good.

I had it down to 15 degrees. I was using a ground pad and a wool blanket over the bag as a "just in case" and I was comfortable. Every now and again the baffle by my feet would shift and cold air would rush in, but other than that I was good. Don't know if I could go much colder though.
