I have not used this product down to 35 F. For me there is more to keeping warm than just the sleeping bag. When the temps go down I wear warmer night clothes. There is also the ground temp that is not always discussed. In the fall the ground temp is higher than the air temp at night, In the spring when the ground is still frozen hard, air temp could be 40 F and now the sleeping pad needs to be able to handle the lower ground temp.
I have used the blanket close to 45 F, and it was 45 F below the sleeping pad. I like to have my bag about 10 F warmer than the coldest temperature I expect. Hope this helps. arnie

Hi. Great review. Have you had a chance to use the setup in weather near the 35 degree mark? I’m wondering how it would work in Fall and Spring camping when the temps drop down near freezing. Thanks.
