i don't know about the two different temp bags, but on a x-country trip,
my boyfriend and i often zipped together two 20 degree bags (this was in
november... brrr). i found it really messes up the temp rating... it was
probably a good 10-15 degrees off. if its really cold, keep in your own
bag. it's really hard to heat up all the extra space when they're zipped
together, plus the hoods and the zipper really get annoying.
