Great Bag, but know your Temp Ratings

By Ben Jepson Ranked #339 - 25 to 5 Degree Synthetic Bags November 18, 2009

I used this bag on a few backpacking trips this summer and use it as my couch surfing bag when I travel. It is really well designed, with a lot of little features in the head area that make sleeping more comfortable and keep the cold out. The little pocket and the glow in the dark zipper pull are also nice features that you may not find on other bags. There have been complaints that this bag isn't actually comfortable at 15 degrees. If you do some research on the Marmot site about this bag

you will come across what the rating numbers actually mean. The 15 doesn't mean that this bag will perform excellently at 15 degrees. The temperature ratings that Marmot gives for this bag are as follows.

Comfort: 29.3F / -1.5C
Lower Limit: 18.3F / -7.6C
Extreme: -13.9F / -25.5C
