A temp rating on a sleeping bag is only to say that you will not die at "that" temp. In other words, a 20 degree bag will not keep you comfortable at 20 degrees. I realize that it does not make any sense but that is just the way that it is I guess...sabre11004... goodjob

P.S. The assumption that a heavier fill will offer more accurate temp ratings is correct
