TIL my old 20-degree bag is a furnace now compared to my friend's new 30-degree one
We camped at Lake Tahoe last week and I was sweating while she was freezing, so I guess the old rating system is just a suggestion. Anyone else find modern temp ratings way less accurate than gear from a decade ago?

Isn't this just how everything is made now? My old kitchen tools feel way more solid than the new stuff I see in stores.

My grandma's cast iron skillet from the 1950s still works perfectly.

Totally agree, my old bag is way warmer than newer ones. @hollypalmer's grandma would know quality gear!
