Would have given it to my hubby as he probably would have been fine in it (sleeps alot warmer even though he is a QLD'er) but I had already bought him a new bag. I am tossing up between Montbell #1, Marmot Helium, SD Nitro 15, WM Ultralite....... or something else???? The Helium looks nice but wish the womens version was a bit longer- the Montbell sizing suited me well and think I read the mens Marmot is quite roomy which means it may be too big for me & therefore not as warm..... decisions decisions.....
goodluck

I'm almost certain the Heliums we have are womens long (5'10), looking on their site though I can see them, i'll check tomorrow (just outa interest, might be a good 'used' bargain out there somewhere?)..
cams wrote:Thanks all. I did have a look at the Marmot's. Not sure why I had pushed them asside a bit. I think maybe the price for weight? But with all the good recommendations I'll have to take another look. As mentioned above, they do have a good temp rating system. Very comprehensive.

But yes marmot list the weight the same as campsaver. Not sure where Larry Adler took their weights from. Still 900g for a -9 bag is still pretty darn good. It looks fairly compact too.
