MarmotMen's Never Summer 0° Sleeping Bag, 650 Fill Down for Camping & Backpacking

I love this sleeping bag. First of all, it's a beautiful bright color. I love the yellow on the outside and the orange on the inside. It's so cheery! And it is very warm. It doesn't zip all the way down, so if it's important to you to make it so it can be used more like a blanket or zip to another sleeping bag, it's not for you. What is really great is that there are zippers on both sides so you can open up the top part and have the bottom half of the body still well ensconced. It also has this wonderful small zipped pocket just inside the top, great for any vital nighttime item like eye glasses, ear plugs, or meds. It's incredibly fluffy and cozy. I haven't really tested it's water resistance, but it's everything I want from a sleeping bag and I plan to use it whenever I can.

We have used a lot of Marmot and North Face sleeping bags over the years. Marmot has usually received high marks in the past, and they had a history of going the extra step with their manufacturing methods. I'm not sure how that is playing out now that they've been gobbled up by Newell Brands (parent company of Coleman, Rubbermaid, Mr. Coffee and more). I find, for example, that the stuff sack feels to be lighter weight nylon than in the past. I'm actually afraid that I'm going to rip it.This bag is very comfy. They market it as having extra room in the shoulders as well as an expandable foot box. Marmot has offered extra wide bags in the past, so I'm not sure if this is merely an attempt to simplify the product line (no more extrawide, just a larger shoulder area...). I'm 6'1" and 200lbs and this extra long bag is plenty big for me. I don't care for the expandable foot box. With it unzipped, I still feel constricted at the shins if I got out of my mummy position. But I guess you get some extra cooling with the zipper open. I would prefer just to have a longer size zipper to get more air down there on warmer nights. This bag employs two short side zips that allow you to fold the top like a blanket. It is a nice feature, but in the end, I'd prefer a single long zip that gave me better access to the lower reaches of the bag. As it is, you have to shimmy in from the top.The down was very comfortable and heated up quickly. The zippers are YKK though they seem on the small side. The exterior nylon shell also seems a bit thin in thickness. I can see the down clumping through it. The color combination, something out of the late 1970s or a hot air balloon over the Arizona desert, are not my speed.

I wasn't expecting it to be so big and fluffy as my other sleeping bags are more compact, but this can be compressed smaller. It's still really lightweight, but it screams sauna! I run warm when I sleep but decided having an extra warm sleeping bag for car camping while snowboarding would be nice.

This is a nice, comfortable sleeping bag that will keep you warm in cooler weather. It had a good amount of room, while still being able to pack down pretty small.My only concern is how thin the material is. As someone else mentioned, you can see the down through the outside of the material, which makes me question whether or not this bag will be durable. Time will tell, I suppose.Overall, I like this bag. It's my first Marmot, and I'm impressed.

I took this out on a trip immediately upon receiving it to give it a test. I'd always heard good things about Marmot gear, and they're all true, for sure! Temps were in the single digits, and I stayed toasty the entire night. I would definitely recommend this to any taller backpackers or campers. Also stoked about the color - I love the classic vibes the palette gives off.
