No, you're not dreaming. The new Marmot Plasma +15°F sleeping bag comes in under 2 lbs. with 900-fill-power goose down—backpacking season can't get here soon enough!

Citing this Editors’ Choice winner, the April 2011 issue of Backpacker claimed, “In the quest for maximum warmth at minimum weight, we have a new standard setter”
Filled with certified, super-lofty, ultralight, 900-fill-power goose down (the largest down cluster with the lowest trace of feather) for an unsurpassed warmth-to weight ratio
Flow Gate Construction lets you manually shift the down to preferred locations—move it to cold spots, customizing warmth to your personal sleep preference
Pertex® Quantum nylon ripstop shell is lightweight and durable, and offers silky softness that enhances the insulation's loft
Shell is treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish that causes moisture to bead up and roll off
Hood drawcord and insulated collar envelops your head and shoulders in warmth; down gasket face muff lets you cinch the hood snug without it digging into your face
Vertical baffles prevent cold spots by keeping the goose down fully lofted and in place
Down-insulated draft tube backs the 2-way, full-length zipper to keep the cold out
Wrap-around footbox construction reduces down compression; Flow design with the classic trapezoidal foot box shape lets feet move freely and keeps down lofted for warmth
Zipper guard runs the entire length of the draft tube to prevent fabric from getting caught in zipper
Marmot Plasma sleeping bag features an ultralight stuff sack and storage bag
European Norm (EN) is an independent third-party temperature rating, allowing accurate comparisons across brands with other EN-rated bags

Comments about Marmot Plasma +15 Sleeping Bag:

I took the sleeping bag out for a small overnight test 2600' at Henry Coe State park. During the night it was windy, it rained, and then rapidly fell below freezing to just above 20 degrees. I woke to a shell of ice completely covering my rain fly. However, all night I slept like a baby for 9 hours warm and toasty in this sleeping bag. I am 5' 10" average build and it was roomy and comfortable. It is roomy enough that before sleeping I was able to play games on my phone with my head and arms completely inisde the sleeping bag. I slept on my back and side comfy either way. The 'thing' that you cinch around your neck to trap body heat works perfectly however it was a bit restrictive so I left it uncinched. There was condensation on the bag in the morning but it did not soak through the shell. I was not easily able to fit my camping pillow inside the bag so had to place the pillow outside. My two biggest complaints: 1. The zipper does tend to snag every so often despite some design features to prevent this. 2. Stuffing this into the provided stuff sack is a chore. The 900 fill down really does not want to be compressed.
Notes: I used a silk sleeping bag liner and slept on a 2.5" Big Agnes pad.

Comments about Marmot Plasma +15 Sleeping Bag:

I bought this bag earlier this year with my dividend and it has been the best upgrade I've made to my gear so far. I don't like to venture too far the temperature rating, so the backpacking season is just starting for me in Alaska. First trip out was in May, and I hit the end of the trail when I reached the snow line around 2600ft. I setup camp nearby and had the most comfortable night of sleep ever. The mud frozen on the trail was my only indicator that the temperature dropped below freezing overnight. My watch said 46F inside the tent which is probably why I was sweating in the morning. Definitely recommend this bag for someone needing something around +15F and only weighs 2lbs. One additional note, I also used a short prolite 3 and regular ridgerest to insulate me from the ground.

Comments about Marmot Plasma +15 Sleeping Bag:

Marmot's Plasma series of sleeping bags are exceptional. They are not the lightest in their temperature class (see [...] for that) but they are the most comfortable and well designed of any sleeping bags I have ever used. My Plasma 15 is without a doubt the most comfortable bag I have ever slept in. The down literally puffs up around you like a cloud and it is WARM. Easily good for the 15 degree rating. You can shift the down easily, but internal pockets keep it intact where you want it. The foot box is roomy and the hood is best in the business. The only negatives are that due to the exceptional loft of the 900+ down, it does not pack down quite as small as some competitor's bags (still small, but not best in class), the zipper can be a bit finicky, although I have gotten used to it and now have no issues, and of course, the crazy price. I got mine on sale for a price that was completely reasonable, so that was not an issue either. I can highly recommend this bag. Good Stuff!!!

Comments about Marmot Plasma +15 Sleeping Bag:

Looking to reduce my pack weight, I did, and this bag is more true to 15 degrees than the others that sit in the closet. If I didn't wait for my dividend and a sale I would have never bought this bag, but now that I have it, it's my favorite piece of gear. I've have had the marmot never summer bag and that's what made me get this bag, it's a lot warmer, less bulky and way lighter. -PJ
