Technical Information
Temperature Ratings EN 13537
A selection of Kathmandu sleeping bags are tested to and comply with the European EN 13537 Temperature Ratings.
Temperatures should be used as a guide only. The limit rating has been provided in this comparison chart, as this is the
lowest temperature at which a standard adult male is deemed to be able to have a comfortable nights sleep.
Comfort and Extreme ratings are available on our website.

Comfort: T Comfort is based on a standard adult woman having a comfortable nights sleep.

Transition: T Limit is based on the lowest temperature at which a standard adult male is deemed to be able to have a comfortable nights sleep.

Extreme: T Extreme is a survival only rating for a standard adult woman. In the risk range a strong sensation of cold has to be expected and there
is a risk of hypothermia. This is an extreme survival rating only and is not advisable for consumers to rely on this rating for general use.
The best guideline for temperatures for purchase decisions are the T Comfort and T Limit ratings.
