Marmot Arete Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Down

Item #MAR1123 | 6 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Teeny and warmer than advertised

By Backcountry.com Employee July 18, 2008

I am a really cold sleeper, I got this for sultry summer nights only. I always seem to underestimate desert nighttime temperature drops and I've actually used it down to about 25 degrees (which was pretty uncomfortable). But I was fine in the 30-40 degree range. The best part is its negligible weight and amazing packability.
