I tested this bag in fall 2012. At 2#6.4oz it was a bit heavier than advertised. Though it seemed to add considerable bulk, the waterproof breathable membrane was a strong sel…

Was excited when I received this bag due to positive reviews I read. Got it out of the shipping box, and tried the cinch cord to close the hood around my face. It hardly cin…

One neat feature is how unbelievably lofty this bag is. As soon as its unstuffed it swells up like a zeppelin, except so far it hasn't caught fire (which i appreciate, althoug…

This was recommended by a friend who's done extensive work in the Arctic and has used a Lithium for years. I got one for a trip to Nepal. It’s long for me (5’4”) but I l…

With only one use, I have to say that this is the best tent I have ever used. I set this tent up on a recent hike into the Sipsey Wilderness of the Bankhead National Forest in…

From my 2 year experience, this tent will keep you and your tent mate warm, (slept in 0F) as long as you don't open the front door during the night to relieve yourself. The al…

I am so pleased that I bought this tent. It sets up quick (within about 10 minutes going it alone), the colors are gorgeous, and it has a great design. My husband and I are pl…

Strong doesn't begin to describe this tent. It's stronger than any other tent I've owned. A little on the heavy side but split between 3 it's pretty good. Make sure you pu…

I bought this bag because it became much to cumbersome to haul around my Kelty 0 degree bag on backpacking trips. I've had it for about a year, and I love that this bag came w…

I have used this sleeping bag several times this spring, I have not really tried in in lower temps (below 30) since it was so warm this spring. Overall it is very conformable…

In addition to the usual suspects of short winter trips, I have taken this bag on three expeditions to the Alaska Range. I sleep plenty warm in -20 (in a tent) with it. I ha…

This is one of the best gear purchases I have ever made. I have tested it to -17 without a tent and I slept comfortably all night. Lofts as well as the day I bought it. Use…

Very lightweight bag, comfortable fit, and kept me warm. However, we had some condensation issues in our tent and I ended up retaining some moisture (on the exterior of the ba…

Got this bag to do some backpacking outside of Durango, Co when the weather was a bit chilly 15 degrees or so. This bag kept me plenty warm. Other bonuses super light and with…

I'm a pretty cold sleeper, but this bag is toasty warm and cozy, unless you are going somewhere well below freezing. The stash pocket is a nice feature, the zipper is mostly s…

Marmot makes top quality bags and this is no exception. I've had the Helium for a few yrs and the only thing that I'm not ecstatic about is that it doesn't have a true draft…

So mind you this is my first 'real' sleeping bag...I finally graduated from my 5th grade princess polyester bag. Ok, while that might not be true, this is my first light weig…

You can fit two small people in here and they will be really warm. The length is a little much for someone that is 5'1". The zipper is not snagless. It would be perfect if it…

In the past three months, I have slept in the Ouray more than my own bed (...I am not exaggerating). If you want to sleep well while winter camping, you must have a warm bag w…

Its like sleeping in a cloud. I'm a thin woman, I am a cold sleeper and I have poor circulation, needless to say cold damp nights have done a number on me. After test driving…

Very warm, it is aptly named. Very comfy too. I sometimes have to sleep with it unzipped, but this was on a warmer mountain night. Looking forward to using this when I camp at…

When you need a bag that will tolerate cold temps as well as wet conditions this is a great option! I used this for two weeks in SE AK getting crapped on the whole time and I…

Great bang for buck, doesn't come much better than this. Have used this bag down to -15deg Celsius in the snow and still stayed warn. Sure it's not the lightest and a little o…
