Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag: -40 Degree Down
Perfect Bag for Denali
By Stephen Koch
Ranked #137 - 0 to -40 Degree Down Bags
October 17, 2008
I have used this bag on Denali several times. It has kept me warm down to 30 below. Eating a half stick of butter in your hot chocolate before bed helps. Also, when awoken from cold, having a candy bar on hand to munch down is always a good idea and lets me get back to sleep. The zippers are strong and the bag has incredible loft. It cinches around my head very well. I take off my jackets for sleeping and have long underwear and fleece with my puffy jacket over my feet for added warmth. I have used this bag in the Tetons in winter when it has been severely cold outside and I was toasty warm and smiling. It is pretty heavy, but that is the price for warmth! Have a great adventure!

I dig the butter stick thing Stephen. I'll definitely be keeping it in mind as the weather starts to turn south up here in the Big State.
