Marmot Trestles 40 Full Rec Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic - 2008 BCS

Needed two bags to zip together - found these at Dick's last night. Unpacked them in the store and zipped the two together with no problems. Jusy sayin....

Haven't used them - hoping that they keep us warm in 40 degree weather.

It isn't anything fancy but it gets the job done. I have a lot of other bags with the same temperature rating but this is the one I always snag on my way out the door. It keeps me plenty warm and it has plenty of leg room (I am 6'2" and wear a size 13 shoe so it is having room to move in the rectangular bag). I tossed it in the wash one day and someone sent it through the dryer on high heat (if you don't know that will destroy a sleeping bag however it somehow held up and keeps me just as warm). It has been through some serious abuse and it just wont stop kickin'. I have been using it for 3 plus years with no complaints.

Ironically, I already have two other bags, and only bought two of these so that I could zip them together on a camping trip I took last year with my wife. It was her first overnight trip with me and the dog and it was 5 nights... needless to say, rain, wind, etc. for the duration of the trip. I only bought them because they were light, square "and could be zipped together". My fault for not testing it out before we left, because as the last person stated, they do not zip together and are only left zip. Bummer. She didn't feel much like snuggling with me on this trip anyway! As a single bag, it was a little pricey for the weight, but it was adequate to help keep me warm at temperatures that because of wind and rain were well below 40 degrees. Maybe it was the dog...
