That's like those $5,000 (exaggeration) Nautica coats that are supposed to keep you warm in -30 degree weather. It only gets that cold in Alaska, or Antarctica, or on really, really high mountains, and no one would actually wear one of those coats there because they'd be paranoid about ripping the thing after they spent such a ridiculous amount of money on it. I think that -30 degree rating is just there to help people justify buying them: "But Daddy, I NEED $5,000! See, it's practical, it's good up to -30 degrees! You don't want me to get cold, do you?"
