Marmot Helium Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

The Marmot Helium Sleeping Bag packs smaller than a loaf of bread and takes you down to 15F weighing an astonishing 2lb. Versatile and ultralight, this 850-fill down sleeping bag ranks among the lightest on the market in its class. Perfect for spring and fall adventures (or even mild winter conditions), the Helium packs away efficiently in smaller packs. Just because it's featherlight doesn't mean it skimps on features. A full draft collar seals in precious heat while a mummy shape lets you hunker down when need be. For spring peak bagging and high desert trips, the Helium is your bag of choice.

Bottom Line: Just so you know, Helium is lighter then air.

Warm Bag

I took this on a trip to the Sawtooths in May for some backpacking/ski touring and car camping. I woke up sweaty on a 19 degree morning with my bag unzipped all the way. Wow! I was using a foam pad on dry ground. I was just right on a 15 degree morning on the snow. I'm a somewhat warm sleeper. I'm 6' and the regular seems to fit just right. The shell kept the heavy frost out. The bag packs down fairly small. I love this bag and my Marmot Atom also. The Helium has a stiffer shell and a little more room inside than the Atom.

Ok, obviously a novice. Got a bag that came with a compression sack and having a hard time getting it back in. Any tips?

Make sure all the straps on the compression sack are completely loosened, and then just stuff it in there. I usually go foot of the bag into the sack first, but that may just be an old habit with no basis in helpfulness. Make sure you don't store the bag in the compression sack, or it will lose a lot of its loft in a relatively short amount of time.

This is an excellent bag for the money. It reaches its temperature rating easily if used in a bivy bag. That way you can use the regular Helium and not get wet. We slept under a fly,in bivy sacks on shorty thermarests down to minus 10 C. No problem. I love the way it compresses. This Fall we'll try it while elk hunting when pack space is at a premium. My scale might be wrong but I think it weighs about 1.5 kilos but that is still better than any other bag I have tried. I find it roomy too (I'm 5'11" and 170 lbs) Durability remains to be seen but I think it's the answer for me.

What's the big difference between the Helium and the Helium EQ?

the EQ is water proof - kind of, and it's good if you going to wet places - help to protect the down.

I'M EXACTLY 6' TALL DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE REGULAR SIZE WILL BE OK OR SHOULD I GET THE LONG

My husband is exactly 6' tall too, and tested the Marmot Pinnacle sleeping bag, which seems very similar to the Helium. In the Reg size, he had his feets touching the end of the bag, and was unable to put them straight. So he decided to take the Long one. I think you will enter in the Regular, but perhaps the Long is more comfortable (I don't know for the heat loss...)

roomy, light, good to 25deg, good price

By: jonmcc1153522 (1)

I used this bag 5 consecutive nights in temps from 28 to 12 degrees F (in tent, on snow), slept comfortable to 25, woke up cool at 20 and needed to wear down coat, booties, etc at 15. No neck collar and the zipper does grab material sometimes but releases easily. If you want the Helium, get the EQ model with a less permeable outer fabric... better chance of reaching the temp rating. Still, I wish it had a down collar for temps below freezing. I'm replacing this Helium with a Western Mountaineering Versalite as I do have other WM bags and trust the temp ratings. BTW, the Helium is sewn in China and stuffed in the USA making it quite competitive in price.
