Army Extreme Weather Down bag temp rating

[weekender7]

I have an old Army extreme weather down bag and wondering if anyone could tell me what the temp rating of those bags would be. The dang thing weighs 7.5 pounds.

If it’s the same one I had I never got cold down in the high teens low twenties on a cot in a canvas cabin tent.

I have used this bag a lot and it's warm. It's just so heavy and I am in the market for a lightweight bag for backpacking. I am not sure what bag rating to get. I want to be warm in the teens, under a tarp, on an insulated pad, without wearing all my clothes.

Look into Western Mountaineering. Their bags are conservatively rated, so a 10-15 degree bag will actually take you down to 10-15, not like other manufacturers where you have to buy a -20 or more bag to be comfortable at those temps.
