The heat transfer coefficient (U) is the inverse of the R-Factor.
Greater the R,the lower the U,and smaller the heat lost/gained,depending on what side your on,given any delta-T.
This is for conduction only.
Considering that with a 3-season mummy bag inside a 3-season sleeping bag,that one can survive -30 F inside a tent with rain fly,the small surface area high performance wall and supplemental canine heating makes perfect sense.
I borrowed some Btus from femme-bot's Golden Labrador this last winter.
