Get this bag for 30 and above! By woodswanderer[@] from Oregon on 10/23/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Roomy, Stows Easily Cons: Not Warm Enough, Poor Hood Design, Zipper Snags Easily Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, this hurts actually, because I have historically loved Marmot gear. "The pros" say to rate any bag for weather 10 degrees higher than what the manufacturer says. It's true. Don't count on this bag to keep you warm when it's below freezing. I was hoping this would be a good early/late fall bag for the High Cascades/High Desert of Oregon, but the chill crept in and I shivered in the night. I was comfortable when it was around 35 degrees in early October, but on nights when the mercury dropped below that, brrr! The main problem I found was a lack of filling on the underside of the bag. It's roomy, which I love, but just didn't make the cut. Maybe I stretched it beyond its intended use, but if that's the case, don't call it a 20 degree bag, maybe a 30 degree bag. I think this bag would be great as a late spring, early summer, maybe even summer depending on where you are, and early fall bag.

Bag was comfortable and warm. However, ambient air temperature was far above the temp rating on the bag.

Comes with an extra storage big bag, so I can even use it as a cushion for my back in the sofa at home.
By Paul J from Jackson Hole, WY on 06/09/2009 Pros: Adjustable Hood, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stows Easily Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I haven't spent a cold night with this bag yet, but it seems awfully thin. My girlfriend just ordered a North Face down 15 degree bag for about the same price and hers is significantly better insulated. Both bags are 600 fill goose down. I'm not sure this will be enough for the Tetons in 3 seasons. Use it in the summer.
By Joe Bob from Flint, MI on 06/06/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Roomy, Stows Easily, Warm Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking, Car Camping, Cold Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent product for the price. Our primary use is summer but in typically cold areas where frost is a concern even in July (Canadian Rockies, Bruce Peninsula). Has held up well. Kept me warm and easy to haul and pack.
BEST BAG COMPANY IN BUSINESS By Ranger Richie from Tecumseh, MI on 06/04/2009 Pros: Adjustable Hood, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stows Easily, Warm Cons: Length sizing female bag Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Coats and bags, that's Marmot's original specialty. These bags appear to have the hallmarks of an innovative company with 30 plus years experience. As a seasonal ranger in yellowstone, I need a bag that will hang with plumetting summer night temps at the parks average 8000 ft. above sea level and high elevation temps when in the surrounding mountain ranges. Super light, very compactable, 3 season down warmth and Marmot quality make this bag a fantastic value when purchased through Sierra Trading Post. Two caveats; the average length male bag is long enough for the average male but it is somewhat slender. The other caveat is that although the female bag is rated for females at or below 5'6", I find this to be inaccurate. My daughter is around 5"2" or 5'3" and appears to about max it out.

Great down bag for the money By christy from cleveland, oh on 11/16/2008 Pros: Adjustable Hood, Great Zipper System, Lightweight, Stows Easily, Warm Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the comfortable material. It kept me warm in temps just above 20, in a shelter but w wet winds blowing in. The down kept its loft and warmth. It was nice not having to sleep in 2 or more layers of cloths!
By Tony from San Jose, CA on 11/07/2008 Pros: Lightweight, Stows Easily Cons: Not Warm Enough, Zipper Snags Easily Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Not an often hiker. But stayed at Bristtle Cone in Eastern Sierra, CA in Oct this year. It was 20F outside w/ the wind, 8000', and I was cold and couldn't sleep. Finally, I had to wear a Gortex Jacket, a Down jacket, and two sweaters. Maybe I need a lower temp rating sleeping bag.
