My Review of Marmot Never Summer 0 Sleeping Bag - Regular

Originally submitted at REI

The '06 Backpacker® Magazine Gear Guide says this bag ''...won't commit the cardinal sin of leaving you colder than its 0° F temp rating.''


Great cold weather bag.

4out of 5

Pros: Comfortable, Warm, Adjustable Hood, Stows Easily

Best Uses: Cold Conditions, Backpacking, Base Camp

Really, I'd give it 4.5 stars if I were able to select it. All around a great 3 season bag (winter, fall, spring). It's decently compact and not too heavy. I've felt lighter, but this one is fine especially for the warmth you get.
On that note, this bag is very warm, as it is supposed to be. For me (warm sleeper), any night above the freezing mark and this bag is just too warm. Even when unzipped, it does its job. So for those good, cold winter trips .. this bag is the one.
I agree with some reviews, this bag does tend to get damp easy, however, if you've got a little time in camp each morning you can hang this bag and it'll dry nice and quick.
I have the Never Summer - Long, at 6'2" 190, it's the right size.
