The extreme temperature rating is the level at which the sleeping bag can help you survive in an extreme weather situation.I have one, and it's certainly good for 3 seasons (380 gm of 800 fill power goose down); it weighs about 725 gm, and packs down not much larger than a large tin (when it came through the post it was so small that I didn't recognise what it was! How small or large a packed size you can manage will of course depend on the rucksack you will be taking and how you intend to carry the sleeping bag.
