Best sleeping bag I've ever used

After using countless crummy rental/borrowed synthetic bags I finally bought myself the Marmot Atom bag. While the price is a bit steep I absolutely do not regret buying it one bit. I have used it in temps down to the mid-30's and it has been perfect. It is incredibly soft and comfortable. Another benefit is that it has an extremely simple design: one zipper and one pull-cord. No jumble of zippers and cords and velcro attacking your face as you sleep like with so many other sleeping bags. The full-zip design is great for warmer weather camping as well as the dual-sided zipper for venting your feet if they get too hot. The hood is great for those colder nights as well. The extra stiff material around the zipper area to protect you from tearing the bag is also a great design by marmot. Lastly the extremely light weight and small stuff size is perfect for light weight backpacking/camping.
I would without a doubt recommend this bag to anyone looking for the best 40 degree summer/spring/early fall bag out there. I am currently saving to buy the Marmot Lithium for my winter bag since I am so satisfied with the Atom. (Might buy a Helium later on too)
