There are a few items besides rated temperature to be careful with that may skew things in a way that is not intended. Two that I see are height limit and weight limit. It is different for equipment that is made for folks that are 5'5" tall and weigh 150 lbs versus equipment made for folks that is 6' tall and weigh 200 lbs versus equipment made for folks that are 6'6" tall and weigh 250 lbs, etc. At some point, if you are not careful, you may be trying to compare apples to oranges.
