Yeah, I've read up on that and understand the differences in material, rating, and the like.
I'm curious though, the highest temp one comes in at +35° and higher. but comparing that to a 70 degree night just doesn't make sense. I would think I would be sweating my ass off.
So if it's rated at 35 degrees, that means you won't die when it is 35 degrees (this is how I've always been told to interpret temp ratings on bags). It means that you'll be comfortable at a much higher temperature than that.
Edit: I wanted to look up my own sleeping bag for reference. It is a 0 degree bag, and I'm pretty cold at anything under 30 pretty much. I also tend to be more temperature sensitive, but it's generally the case with most people I know.

Ahhh. So, hypothermia/frostbite rating pretty much?
Correct lol.
