Does it add any extra warmth I am trying to beef up a 40 degree bag

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your interest. Yes the extra layer of poly cotton material it help a little bit with warmth. This material will provide added comfort because it is soft and feels warm against the skin. Hope this helps! Thank you, Formosa Covers 1-800-952-2268

Separate bag and a sleeping pad Or extra quilts/insulation or the 250's insulation pack) in cooler temps as your lower part of your body will get cold on chilly nights without one

No, not at all. I read some of the other reviews on the thicker insulation and saw that was an underlying them. With more support, comes more insulation and heat. this is not a lot of cushion but enough to have a more smooth comfortable slumber and no added heat.

Yes, I think it would be if you combined it with layered sleep ware, wool socks, and a beanie. I used it at 20 degrees and was toasty. Please be aware that sleeping bags ratings are based on survivability not comfort. Pros: very warm and comfortable. Non-mummy bag provides lots of room. Cons: It's a very large bag thus takes up a lot of space in the car or camper. Car camping only. Designed to accommodate big people. My suggestion to others is: buy two smaller bags.

The "+5 degree" notation usually means that it is for 5 degrees and up. I was just warm enough in 30 to 35 degrees. But, that is a personal exerience... not scientific. I still like the bag!

Hard to answer. It is warm to the point I very seldom use the heat part and I am old and Thin. Best I can do.

I never tried it seeing as how I used mine in Afghanistan mostly and then a few times camping solo. From the design and how far it unzips, I would say no. I will say tho, this is probably the most comfortable and warm sleeping bag I've ever had! In below 20 deg weather, this thing was warm and if you throw a fleece sleeping bag over it as a blanket or inside it as a liner, you will def be more than cozy

It does get warm, but I like to think of it as 'whittling my waistline'! :)

I guess it depends how cold your place is but it will only raise the temperature 10 degrees I imagine so if you are shooting for 80 and its 50 its still going to be a little cold probably but certainly will help.

I used it when it was about 50 degrees out and it worked well. I also used it when it was 40 degrees, but 40 was too cold and unless you were sitting right next to it, it did not keep you warm.

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

me too. Have never needed it for heat, but I have noticed that it does not seem to get warmer than any other part of it.

This Military Surplus Sleeping Bag is rated to be used in temperatures between +30 degrees to -10 degrees...add patrol bag and bivvy and i believe it can get to -40, although you will need thermals....

I've never had this bag at -30 degrees, but I've had it at near 0 degrees. It is a comfortable bag, warm but do not layer up on your clothing. Because this bag is made to reflect body heat back inward. I am 5'8" and find this bag to be a little too roomy with too much air space inside. But you can pull the bag into you to eliminate the air space. All in all it is a good bag, but is made more for a person of 6' + the company would do well to make various sizes bags for various size people.

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.

We used it last summer when we went camping in the NC mountains. Night time temps got down into the upper 50's and the kept us plenty warm. The sleeping bag is not overly thick and should work great for you.
