What is an EN Comfort Rating? EN stands for European Norm Comfort Rating. At this temperature a "standard individual" should be comfortable in the sleeping bag. Keep in mind the individual and environmental conditions can impact how warm each person sleeps. ROPE recommends using the EN Comfort Rating as the lower limit for most recreational users. Experienced users may wish to consider the Lower EN rating in conjunction with their personal equipment like sleeping pad and clothing.
