| The Marmot Helium Sleeping Bag packs smaller than a loaf of bread and takes you down to 15 degrees weighing an astonishing 2 pounds. Versatile and ultralight, this bag ranks among the lightest on the market in its class. Perfect for spring and fall adventures (or even mild winter conditions), the Helium packs away efficiently in smaller packs. Just because it's feather light doesn't mean it skimps on features. A full draft collar seals in precious heat while a mummy shape lets you hunker down when need be. For spring peak bagging and high desert trips, the Helium is your bag of choice. |

Reviews:
rockin' bag
First trip was four nights all between 20 and 30F. Never had to mummy it up. First impression sliding in was comfy, comfy, comfy. The bag heated up quickly and stayed that way. Lots of room in the toebox, very nice. The 1/2 zipper was not a problem at all. It all felt quite luxurious. The hood rocks. I have never felt less restricted with a mummy setup. The drawstring setup is outstanding. Zipper snags are much less of a problem than any other bag I have been in. Water proof cover worked well. The outside got wet, the down did not. Good deal. Highly recommend.
Wow
Just got back from the Palisades area of the Sierra. Used this bag for the first time, and it was fantastic. Got a long and it's just over two pounds, and packs small. It got into the 30's and I didn't zip up the bag. Best I've seen.
It's got to be filled with Helium
This bag is amazing. It's warm, but so light it feels like a toy. When you're using it you feel no weight on you, it just kind of hangs there defying gravity. It's a pricey bag, but seems very well made (essentially no leakage) and incredibly light for the warmth.
Light but not as warm as I hoped
The bag is wondrously light and beautifully made. But it's not as warm as I hoped—I was a bit chilly at night on a late April trip on the AT in Massachusetts (temp in low 20s). Then again I tend to be a cold sleeper. I am going to sell this bag, probably on eBay, and replace it with the Lithium, the 0 degree version of the same design.
Great for cold nights!
Overheated on a 50 degree night. The bag kept me comfortably warm on a 35 degree night. Wore thin long johns both times. Backpacked 11 miles in, it's great at less than two pounds. Would have liked a longer zipper for venting, but then the bag would weigh more. Overall, I would recommend this bag for the colder outings.
