Hi Greg
Part of the issue is the rating system that is used. I can't remember all
of the details but some of the factors are the rating is based on men and
their are different numbers for surviving and being comfortable. I think
looking up One Planet website and check out the rating system-how it is
arrived at and what it means could be the way to go. If that fails ask at a
reputable backpacking/bushwalking store.
I have one planet synthetic(vegan) which kept me warm at 4,600 metres in
Nepal.
