Down-to-feather Ratio - displayed next to the fill power rating of a product, the down-to-feather ratio, represented as, e.g., 95/5, 90/10, etc. The numbers provided denote the percentile contents of down and feathers, respectively. Each backpacking winter sleeping bag is filled with a combination of both, as the feathers reduce the potential clumping of down, ensuring, in turn, greater loft.
Temperature Range - marked as T-Comf, T-Limit, and T-Extreme, these parameters indicate the lowest temperatures in which women (T-Comf) and men (T-Limit) may still feel comfortable while sleeping, as well as the absolute lowest temperature (T-Extreme), in which the sleeping bag still offers some degree of cold protection for the user.
To better portray this, we will use PAJAK’s most robust RADICAL 16H Winter Sleeping Bag, the ultimate choice for sleeping in extreme cold, which ensures comfortable sleep for women in temperatures as low as -31°C, for men -43°C, and the absolute lowest threshold ending at -71°C.
