    Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    I bought this bag last week and used it this past weekend up in the James Peak Wilderness in Colorado, near Rollinsville. I hiked in 5mi up to 11,300ft and temps dropped 20+ degrees below zero that night; nearly all of my gear froze. Regardless, the bag was phenomenal! I had a base layer on, but could've done without it. Tons of room, the hood is great and it retains heat like no other. I slept comfortably through the entire night. I recommend this bag to anyone and everyone.

    Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    I'm so glad I got this bag after freezing my you-know-what off on my last couple trips. It's super warm and really comfy. I'm about 6ft and 235lbs and this bag is perfect for me (the reg was too small). The water repellent finish is awesome so far. I dumped a liter of water right on the bag, gave it a second, and all the water shook right off of the bag. It was awesome. With a compression sack (not included) this bag can compress down to small-ish watermelon size. Not as small as I'd hoped but still much better than my last bag.

    Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    I picked this sleeping bag up at my local REI store in anticipation of a winter ascent of Wheeler Peak in New Mexico. Upon initial inspection it seemed to be a nice bag made with good materials. It was a little on the heavy side and did not compress as much as I would have liked it to but the price was right. The first night we camped at 9,400 ft and the temperature dropped to 15 degrees and I was toasty all night. When I woke up the next day I noticed that the bag was damp towards the bottom of the bag but it didn't seem to be an that big of an issue so we kept moving. The second night (which ended up being our last night) we camped at 12,000 ft and a huge snowstorm moved through dropping the temperature to 0 degrees. Once again I was toasty until about 3:00 am and I starting getting chilled especially below my waist. I shoved my down jacket in my sleeping bag and wrapped it around my waist to get me through the night. The next morning when I woke up around 6:30 the inside of my sleeping bag was completely frozen with ice. Somehow in the middle of the night moisture had crept into the down and froze solid. The snow storm ended up forcing us down before we made the summit but I don't know if I could have made it through another night with this bag. Needless to say that I lost my faith in this bag and I'm going to be returning this to REI today.

    Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    Just returned from a 4 day trek into little lakes valley out of rock creek lake in the Eastern Sierra..

    upside:

    The "Never Summer" lives up to its name.Not sure what the temps were overnight,but the water in our containers froze solid overnight.Inside of our 2-man tent (condensation and all) the bag remained dry and warm.

    If Your looking for warmth and comfort, then the "Never Summer" is a great choice.

    Downside:

    Marmot should consider a better grade of down,perhaps,at least 700 fill, to create a lighter, more compact bag,along with a compression sack.

    All in all,one heck of a sleeping bag.

    It does what it says.

      Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

      I bought this bag for a mountaineering trip in the Sierras this season, and I was pretty pleased with the results; it kept me way too warm for two nights, including one night under the stars. It does seem to collect moisture though; you will probably wake up with wet spots under most of the bag. I found a few feathers lying around my sleeping area both mornings, which is unfortunate. I hope it can retain most of the insulation it provides now.

      If water is poured on it, it runs right off, no problem. I suspect that the moisture collection stemmed mostly from perspiration while sleeping.

      It is my first zero degree bag, so I can't compare to others, but it packs down noticeably smaller than my TNF Cat's Meow (although it's heavier). All-in-all, a decent bag that I hope to use for years :-)

      Comments about Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag - Long:

      I bought this bag to keep me warm while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I took it for a test drive on a long weekend to Jasper and Banff National Parks in the Canadian Rockies. It kept me hot in freezing temps, so I felt comfortable taking it to Tanzania and up Kilimanjaro.

      While on Kilimanjaro, I kept the bag in a dry compression sack (I bought separately since it didn't come with one) because it's imperative to keep the down dry. After day 1 of sleeping above the rain forest at 3000m the foot of the sleeping bag was moist but I did not feel any difference inside. The top and sides of the sleeping bag collected condensation like a sponge as well, but I did not feel it inside. After the 2nd night of sleeping in it, the same issues persisted and my feet got cool during the night. When I took the sleeping bag out of the water-proof sack at the end of day 3, I noticed that mold had begun to grow on the surface of the bag due the the condensation absorbed over the previous 2 nights.

      I am pleased with the warmth the bag conveyed throughout my time on the mountain, but I am deeply disappointed in the water absorption ability of this down sleeping bag. Fortunately I had 1 day to allow the bag to dry out prior to summiting. If I did not have that opportunity I'm afraid the condensation would have seeped into the inside of the bag, and mold would have continued to grow on and inside of the bag.

      The only way I would recommend this sleeping bag is as a car camping sleeping bag. If the bag has time to dry out during the day, this bag would probably be sufficient. However, as a backpacking sleeping bag, this bag failed.

      Lightweight, small, warm, super human space inside. There is no doubt in my mind that this bag will keep me warm in the worst of conditions. Couple this bag with a sleeping pad and a dry compression sack and you could sleep on the dark side of the moon.
