Marmot Never Summer Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down - 2006
The Marmot Never Summer 0F sleeping bag is the work horse bag of the great outdoors—plain and simple, it's a top-level bag at a tremendous value. That's why everyone from casual backpackers to summer wilderness program counselors to hardcore hunters choose Marmot's 600-fill down bag. Features include a cozy trapezoidal foot box, vertical baffles, a stash pocket for nighttime essentials, Velcro-free face muff with down fly strip, an X-static draft tube and two internal and external hang loops for easy and secure bag airing. Two-way zippers lock to prevent undesired sliding. Stuff sack and storage sack included.
Bottom Line: The Marmot Never Summer Sleeping Bag is specifically designed for lean climbers, skin-and-bone cyclists, and cold-sleeping campers.
Does anyone know if this bag is water resistant? I am looking for a down bag that is light and warm, but that can take a little moisture from a wet environment and keep rollin.
Please let me know if anyone as experience with that.
This is an out of stock version, here is the newest version: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Marmot-Never-Summer-Sleeping-Bag-0-Degree-Down/MAR0420M.html?RSC_ID=WR_MAR1134
You might want to look at getting a bivy sack for it if you want it to be water proof.
I had used the north face bags for years and I wanted something different,and over the years ive gained a few pounds, im 6 ft. 2 and weigh 223 pounds and im in my sixies and i dont want to be cold, i have found this bag to be warm and comforable and the price was right. if you like to camp,this is the bag!
incredibly comfortable, a lot of room, even with my wide shoulders!! for a zero degree down bag of this price, i was shocked with how small it packs down to. got it for late fall/early spring stays in Yellowstone and Glacier and first got to test it out this fall. got down to about 15 in Yellowstone, and my 3 buddies were in 15 20 25 degree bags and froze. i sure didn't though!! soooooo comfortable, almost slept in the nude!! i love this bag. i've never had a zero degree bag and am certain i picked the very best
At last, winter camping is warm and comfortable! All my previous snow trips have been miserably cold, even in a well-made snow cave. But this bag warms me instantly, not even having to wait for my body warmth to heat it. Plus, you can't beat down for compressibility and comfort. Attached to my Mountain Hardwear bivy, this combo is warm and dry, without fail. Best bag I've ever had, certainly.
The Never Summer is the best bag I've ever owned. I've had some bad luck with Kelty and Northface, but when I switched to the Marmot I knew I would never buy another brand. It is versatile, compresses to about 6"x6" with a tight-tight compression sack and is extremely warm. I would recommend the Marmot Never Summer to anybody.
I just used my Never Summer Bag for the first time at 14,000 feet on El Pico de Orizaba in Mexico. It was excellent! It kept me and my toes nice and warm, with plenty of room to turn over as needed. The sleeping in the bag put me in perfect shape for our summit climb. A great bag!
I bought the Marmot Never Summer bag to replace my old TNF bag last year. I had spent a lot of time researching bags on-line and could not find a 600 fill down bag rated at 0 degrees for less $. During my field test of this bag, it got cold, but all I did was snap closed the draft collar and tighten up the hood and it was toasty warm inside this bag. The draw strings are very easy to use in the dark. It packs down really well and at just over 3lbs you really can't expect a better warmth to wt. ratio. Plus for a down bag it is rather breathable. I really can't come up with a negative thing to say about this bag.
