Marmot Helium Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
Warm Bag

Ranked #730 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
June 26, 2008
I took this on a trip to the Sawtooths in May for some backpacking/ski touring and car camping. I woke up sweaty on a 19 degree morning with my bag unzipped all the way. Wow! I was using a foam pad on dry ground. I was just right on a 15 degree morning on the snow. I'm a somewhat warm sleeper. I'm 6' and the regular seems to fit just right. The shell kept the heavy frost out. The bag packs down fairly small. I love this bag and my Marmot Atom also. The Helium has a stiffer shell and a little more room inside than the Atom.

Can you confirm that you were using the Helium without the waterproof MemBrain exterior? Thanks
