I currently have a +15 down bag that I use for Spring/Fall backpacking in the mountains of NM and CO. I'm considering doing some winter backpacking and was wondering which of the Marmot down bags (Lithium, Col EQ, CWM EQ) would be best. The Lithium at 0 deg wouldn't seem to be a larger enough temperature difference to justify, and the CWM might be over kill. So, I'm leaning towards the Col EQ but, I wanted to get someone's opionion. Also, I tend to be a warm sleeper.

I wouldn't get any closer than fifteen to twenty degrees difference between bags. That's actually too close. I've been using my minus five degree North Face bag for quite awhile with warm winter results but a minus twenty degree bag would be even toastier. I think the Col EQ would be an excellent choice for winter camping in the mountains anywhere up to timberline. Enjoy!
