I'm considering this bag or a Marmot Lithium -they seem very similar. Does anyone have direct experience with both makes? Pros and cons? Thanks!

The answer above is not completely accuarate. I spoke with Marmot about the claim that they will refill the bag for life for free and they told me that unless it was a warranty issue, they could refil the bag, but at a cost to the owner based on the amount of fill desired.

They are both really great bags and before this year i would have been hard pressed because the Marmot used to only have a 1/4 zipper. Now the zipper is full length and with the lifetime free refill and $10 wash (Marmot will refill the down in the bag for the life of the bag. That means you basically get a new bag whenever you want!), i would go with the Marmot 10 out of 10 times. The Montbell has some great features (elasticized baffles that "hug" and the cinch foot box) but unless you actually need them, then i don't think they are fully worth it. Plus Marmot was and is at the forefront of the sleeping bag market (They own 1 of only the 3 down facilities in the USA, REI is another, can't remember the third.) and their temp ratings are real world and lab tested to ensure "comfort" and "extremes". Good luck with your choice!
