Super summer sleeping bag
By Stephen M. Bennett
Ranked #206 - 55 to 30 Degree Down Bags
January 30, 2010
This is currently my favorite summer sleeping bag on the market right now. I like the way Marmot cuts their bags (wider in the shoulders than Mountain Hardwear), the way the hood fits, and the roomy footbox. The bag itself is super light with 800+ fill down and compresses quite well (an puffs back up quite nice). The only thing you need is a waterproof stuff sack!
