Marmot Helium EQ Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Marmot Helium EQ Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 2 September 10, 2009

I've been using the Helium for a little over a year and sadly I'm sending it back. I've used it mostly for backpacking trips (desert, beach, mountains)...and I've never been cold. The coldest temps I've used it in have been the upper 30s low 40s. However, I started to notice an increase in stray feathers after only a few uses. This trend would continue to the point where I had about 7 duct tape patches. All the feathers were escaping where the baffles intersected...there were no rips or tears. This seems like a lot of wear and tear for a $400 sleeping bag. Too bad, I really liked it's performance and weight. Oh, and the left hand zip was pretty frustrating in a right handed bivy with not a lot of room to maneuver.
