This should allow comparison of apples to apples and other fruit.

The American Society of Testing and Materials members are voting on revised standards for the following items.

Measuring Sleeping Bag Loft
Designation: F1932–98 (Reapproved 2004)
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1932; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
The loft (that is, thickness) of a sleeping bag refers to the total thickness of a closed sleeping bag. It is a physical dimension/measurement used for specifications, design, and quality control. Loft, in and of itself, is not to be used to predict the thermal properties of a sleeping bag.

Illustrating the Footprint of a Backpacking or Mountaineering Tent
Designation: F1933–98 (Reapproved 2004)
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1933; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

Weighing a Backpacking or Mountaineering Tent
Designation: F1934–98 (Reapproved 2004)
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1934; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

Measuring the Headroom of a Backpacking or Mountaineering Tent
Designation: F1935–01 (Reapproved 2007)
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1935; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

Measuring Sleeping Bag Packing Volume
Designation: F1853–03
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1853; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

If you are in the industry manufacturing sleeping bags or tents you should be a member of the ASTM and on these committees. Although they work being done is extremely professional and well done.
