Marmot Helium EQ Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
Marmot Helium EQ
By DeanDay
Ranked #490 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
October 27, 2008
I got the long bag and it fit me well at 6'1" 195 lbs. I slept in 20 deg F, and was warm and comfortable. The water resistant coating (EQ) cuts the wind and the rain. It only came in a left zip, which is less convenient for my right zip bivies. This great 15 degree bag only weighs 2-1/2 lbs. The Marmot stuff sack is no good. The sack ripped by the entrance on the first trip. Get a good quality small compression sack to go with this super bag.
