Marmot Helium Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
Short Zipper!
By Pico C.
Ranked #1007 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
August 22, 2005
The Marmot Helium 15 degree bag is a lofty marvel. It is very well made and has 900 fill down. Especially nice is the well shaped hood with integral border that prevents your face from touching any of the fasteners. But for me, a menopausal woman who experiences hot flashes, the half-length zipper is unacceptable. I ended up returning my Marmot Helium bag and bought a Moonstone Lucid 20 degree bag with 800 fill down and I am pleased with it. It has a full length zipper and I can regulate my changes in temperature easily. The size and weight are very close to that of the Marmot Helium. For three season use in the high Cascades of WA it is ideal.
