Took a chance on a cheap 20-degree bag from Amazon and it actually worked

I got a Teton Sports Tracker for a quick trip to the White Mountains last fall, expecting to freeze. The nights got down to 25 and I was perfectly warm, which totally went against my 'you get what you pay for' gear rule. Now I'm wondering if some budget stuff is secretly good, or if I just got lucky with the weather. Has anyone else had a cheap piece of gear completely surprise them?

Totally get that shock when cheap gear works.

Test it in your backyard on a cold night to see its real limit.

What's the coldest you've pushed that bag since then?
