If it is June in the Midwest, the temp can range from 35 to 50. What temp sleeping bag would be good?

This is for an 11 year old girl tent camping for 5 nights late June. Most kids bags are 50 degree. Should l get an adult 35 or 40 degree? It would be real big l think, right?

Thanks!

yes aduly bags are larger and wont be as warm for her because it doesnt ''snuggle'' her in. l think a youth bag is sufficient, and get a couple of those cheap fleece throws they sell at wal mart, they really help a lot.

not really..add about 10 degrees to the rating,,if it says 40 its more like a 50...a 35 is about right for a 3 season bag

Instead, get her a fleece sleeping bag insert to tuck inside the bag. It will keep her nice and toasty. I've found temp ratings pretty on target.

figure on needing 10 degrees better than bag is rated
on a 30 degree night, you need a 20 degree bag
but it varies tremendously from manufacturer and from person to person
I'd get a decent cheap youth bag and a fleece bag to line it and carry some clean dry sweats to sleep in and throw in an extra blanket if weather looks cool

get the lowest temp bag for the lowest temp expected. a pad under the bag will make a big difference in cooler weather
