        Comments about Marmot Hydrogen +30 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        I have owned this bag (in the black version) for years now and have found it to be an excellent option for summer backpacking. I typically just throw it over me like a quilt and only fully zip it when temps drop to around freezing. I've found it to be adequately warm fully zipped with hood at 32 degrees and have been only a little chilled on nights where temps have dropped to the low 20s with a strong wind (inside a tent). The cut is admittedly quite 'athletic' so as I have put on more than a few pounds lately it can seem a bit tight in there when fully zipped. My wife just bought a Mt. Hardware 32 and it has a roomier cut but I think the loft on the Hydrogen is better. It has held up well through the years. I have recently purchased a Helium as a hedge against the weather during fall and spring and definitely during winter. But at 1 lb. 8 oz. and with its small size I will continue to use the Hydrogen when I think the temps will not drop much below freezing.....unless I get even fatter!

        Comments about Marmot Hydrogen +30 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        The Marmot Hydrogen is a great bag to own. For a 800+ fill bag, it's reasonably priced and very warm and lightweight. I've had a lot of success using this bag below 30 degrees by combining it with a thermolite sleeping bag liner and/or down clothing as well. If you pack accordingly, I think you can safely trust this bag close to 10 degrees. I've personally slept with this bag in Joshua Tree's deserts in January and also in Northern Michigan Spring through late Fall with great comfort. Treat it with care and you can expect nearly a lifetime of service from a bag of this quality.

        My only gripe is that I'm not a fan of the stuff sack it came issued with. It is difficult to pack and does not have any compression straps to condense the bag to a smaller volume. I've since gone on to replace it with a waterproof compression sack and I really recommend this as an accessory to the bag. You'll cut volume, the weight is negligible, and you'll add insurance to your bag by waterproofing it. You'll come to appreciate this if you ever get caught up in a storm or fall into water with your pack (as I have) or discover that your kayak's bulkheads weren't nearly as dry as you thought they were. Well worth the investment and has greatly improved my experience with this sleeping bag.

        Comments about Marmot Hydrogen +30 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        I've used the black version of this bag every day for over 3 years in Iraq. I've slept on everything from a cot to the desert floor (with and without a pad). This bag is still going strong. It is just now starting to show signs of the down not holding the loft like it used to when it was new. I would usually wash it twice a year with Down Wash. This bag is well worth it! I am now considering replacing it with the new model (mainly due to color change). I would definitely buy this again.

          Great bag I keep in the bottom of my day pack for emergencies. Soo light, and packs soo small.
          Great for backpacking even in cold climates, or early in the season.
          Only down side is price.

            I have had a chance to use this bag in below freezing temperatures and was quite warm though I was using a liner. I have yet to need to fully zip the bag up. Like with any bag though a pad is necessary. The weight on this bag is amazing, and the size that it can be shrunk with out a stuff sack is also impressive.

              This bag is super light and warm. I've used it for several nights so far and slept in it down to the high 30s and have yet to get cold. If you're looking to drop some weight from your pack this is a solid investment for the 3 season backpacker. The nylon material seems very fragile but its held up good so far. Its pricy so keep an eye out for sales and coupons!

              Comments about Marmot Hydrogen +30 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

              My first backpacking trip was in 1958 over Mono Pass. My first down bag was an REI 0 degree bag, which I still have, albeit, it has been relofted twice. Use it for car camping.
              I have been using a Western Mountaineering 30 deg. bag(650 down)for the last eight years and love it. This year I decided to go with an 850 loft and liked the reviews for the Hydrogen 30 bag. The bag went on its maiden voyage last week to Cirque Peak. It compacted nicely, giving me more space in the pack and shaving 15oz.
              I carry a small battery powered thermometer to tell me the low temp at night. The first night was 38 deg. I am a warm sleeper, so my bag is usually used as a blanket, even in cold weather. That night I had to add a second layer of clothing because I was cold and actually zipped the bag up. The second night the temp dropped to 32 deg and even with two layers of thermal clothing, I was cold the whole night. The bag had cold spots where the down had moved in the baffle leaving no down in several areas.
              I wonder, as I am writing this, if I just received a bag that missed quality control

                This bag is warm. Spent a few nights in Desolation Wilderness with lows in the mid to high 30's and was quite warm, even with it unzipped. It was very comfortable and roomy. All this and it packs small and weighs very little.

                Comments about Marmot Hydrogen +30 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

                I've owned this bag for 3 years now. I am currently working on knocking off sections of the CDT ... spending at least 25+ nights out each summer. I've logged at least 75 nights in this bag. Most of nights are above 11,000 feet.

                I'm 5-10 at 175 lbs. With a base layer on I am very comfortable (to 36f) in this bag. As with all bags, the zipper snags occasionally, and the shell leaks some down occasionally.... no big deal. This regular length bag weighed in at 1lb-9oz exactly.

                This is a high quality bag that I would recommend to anyone spending nights out at, or above, 36f.
