I ordered a 0 degree bag from an on-line vendor for about $50. Took it desert camping in Nov. It went down to about 28 degrees and I froze! I learned my lesson, returned it and found a -10 bag for $100 and it was very cozy in sub-freezing weather. So, what I learned is you can't get a good, cozy, warm 0 degree sleeping bag for under a $100. I’ve learned that the temp rating can even be somewhat misleading.
