Marmot Never summer zero Degree bag?
|
Does anyone have any experience with the Marmot Never Summer Sleeping Bag - zero degree |
|
Used mine during spring trips to Whitney and Rainier. Nights well below freezing. I, too, change socks and cool down before climbing in. No issue with moisture in the footbox. Did any of those reviews provide detail around what pad was being used? |
|
I've had mine for the last two winters and have spent many nights below freezing with several in the single digit negatives. For the money I don't think it can be beat. I've personally never had problems with the foot box. |

I really like mine as well. Very warm and like all Marmot bags high quaility. Of course it's not a lithium, but for price (especially on sale) you can't beat it. Great bag, I'd keep it. No footbox problems, but I use a long in most of my cold weather bags to store clothes or a water bottle etc. |

Thanks... I will probably keep it and assume that they were noobs to cold weather/winter camping. And that you need to cool down and let all of the moisture trapped by ur clothing and boots escape before you hop in the sack so it doesn't end up in the bag. |
|
I've taken mine to -10 F (outside temp, a bit warmer in the tent probably) and was alright most of the night. Bring a good sleeping fine and it'll be fine. |
|
I've used mine in a bivy sac in low single digit temps - warm & no problems. IMO it's a great value in a down bag. |

I’ve been happy with mine, I’ve had a couple of 0 deg bags like the REI Kilo that were thin in the foot box and I always froze my feet off. I bought the never summer because it had a lot of loft meaning thinner sleeping pad and was thick down in the foot box. I guess it depends on if you sleep hot or cold, my wife sleeps hot and uses a 20 deg bag when I use a 0. |

I love mine too. Great bag and 0 problems. |

I was thinking about getting the lithium. Any thouhts. |
|
Just that it's double the price. Of course it's a better bag w/ 850 fill, but for me it was a question of price. Five hundo is alot for just a zero degree bag. |

Five hundo is alot for just a zero degree bag.I wouldn't call it a better bag. Although it is lighter, and supposedly EN tested to the same temps, Marmot has removed the internal draft collar around the neck to save even more weight. Not as versatile, but definitely smaller than the Never Summer. |

I like mine just fine.... no problems great bag fir the price |

I am trying to decide between the lithium and the couloir. I know they are a lot, but I need a light bag for spring ski mountaineering. The couloir almost sounds more cut out for snow camping, but is almost a pound heavier than the lithium. Thanks-J |
