But no idea where it fits in the warmth scale with an EN -9 rating, that could be comfort which is normal or it could be the extreme rating but with 411 grams of down I think it is the comfort rating. Being a big bag there would be room for a down jacket and pants which should get you well down below -18 and leave enough in the kitty for a really good pad system

I'll say no on this one from experiencing the joy of a cheap but disappointing cold night of shivers. Also they aren't that good at compressing into a smaller space...
If you don't mind being cold then a Katmandu sleeping bag is for you.

The main issue with them is they use more, lower fill power down to get their warmth, so they are certainly heavier and larger packed than the better bags.
