Marmot Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag:15 Degree Down
Available Colors / Styles
Be the first to upload your photo of the Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag:15 Degree Down. >
The Marmot Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag is rated down to 15F, even though it weighs as little and packs down as small as your summer bag. Thanks to its lofty, highly compressible, ultra-premium 900-fill down insulation and Pertex Quantum shell fabric, you’ll stay toasty on shoulder-season and winter outings.
- Pertex Quantum shell fabric keeps weight to a minimum while maximizing packability and enhancing breathability so that condensation doesn't build up in the down insulation
- Ultra-premium 900-fill goose down is as light as a wisp of fog and as good at rebounding as a seven-foot-tall center, and it features one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios known to humankind
- Insotect Flow vertical baffle system reduces weight and transfers heat from the core of your body to your extremities
- Vertical baffles optimize thermal performance and significantly reduce weight
- Down-filled draft collar, zipper-length draft tube, and ground-level seams help prevent leaks and improve warmth retention
- Wraparound foot box vaults the foot area so as to prevent the compression of down and extend the bag's comfort range
- Two loops at the foot allow you to easily hang the bag to air it out
- EN comfort-rated at 29-degrees F for shoulder-season conditions; lower-limit-rated at 18-degrees F for occasional use during mild winter temps
- Winner of numerous industry awards, including Outside Magazine's 2011 Gear of the Year, Backpacker Magazine's 2011 Editors' Choice, and National Geographic Adventure 2011 Gear of the Year
Bottom Line: Light, but not lightweight when it comes to keeping you warm.

Love this bag! It's super lightweight, incredible comfortable, yet I haven't had an issue getting too hot, even in Moab, Utah. Just open the flap or worse case use it as an incredible blanket.
The ONE tiny little thing that I do agree as a con for this bag is that it's pretty easy to get the zipper snagged. Gotta be a little careful when unzipping it, but other than that, this is the best backpacker sleeping bag money can buy.

I slept in this bag in Vedauwoo last weekend for the first time. We got to camp and it was blowing 25+ with gusts up to 65 mph and it was snowing. Not nice weather. Not sure how cold it got to overnight, but the beer froze so it was pretty chilly. The Plasma 15 kept me warm and I slept through the night no problem. Much more comfortable than most lightweight bags and I could feel the warmth in the footbox and hood. Definitely the best bag I've owned and worth the $.

I backpack in the Rockies and am usually sleeping at 8000-10000 ft, so nights get pretty cold even in July and August. I've also found that most bags really don't perform down to their temperature rating (especially over time); I have spent many cold nights in my North Face Kilo. I wanted to upgrade without increasing pack weight. This bag, while pricey, has met all of my expectations. Warm nights at last!
FYI, I'm 6'3 and 200 with wide shoulders and the bag (long version) does not feel overly tight - it seems (from customer reviews) that some bags in this weight class (e.g., WM Ultralight 20) are overly restrictive. Looking at the shoulder/hip/foot circumference specs seems to indicate that this bag is in fact more roomy than others.
Yes it is DWR treated. It is not completely waterproof but it does limit the amount of moisture that could potentially come in contact with the down inside the bag.

Right now the Sawtooth is my go-to sleeping bag. I'm wondering
Right now the Sawtooth is my go-to sleeping bag. I'm wondering whether this bag is worth the upgrade, or if I should just stick it out with the sawtooth?

Hey Thomas, I say stick with the Sawtooth unless you really need to shave off an extra pound from your pack weight. I do think the Plasma is worth the money, but I would wait around for backcountry to put it on sale.
